[The Fifth Horseman]

The first time I found out how much better the physics and destroyable terrain were here in comparison to older X-Com games, I went rambling with joy. Really.

All that because one stray grenade has totally vandalised a hydropinic farm...

By the way, keep scanning Cult of Sirius for alien infiltration. Altough it might seem like you don't have to care about them, when CoS gets under alien control things take a sharp turn from bad to worse.

Hi guys... I'm trying to get XCom3 working in my PC (Windows XP), but i have problems. I tried to manage it with this site http://www.xcomufo.com/forums//index...=ST&f=26&t=841 , i made the batchfile and changed the options of the hyperlink i've mad, but Dosbox 0.65 doesnt start anything

can somebody help me?

Try using VDMSound instead. Apocalypse lags horribly on DosBox.

K.. i installed VDMSound.. and I run the vdms apoc file...
It says .DLL file loaded sucessfully... and then it does nothing.
Have tried a variety of other combinations of files and such, but I cant access the game.
Am I still supposed to run it trough dosbox after starting vdms_apoc?

Anyone give me a guide?
Have tried to read through the pages here, but I can only find peeps who said the made it work.

Right-click on the executable and choose "run with VDMSound" from the context menu.

Alternatively, use the command line (Windows XP has it somwhere under Accesories tab in the Start menu) to enter the game's directory, type in DOSDRV and then the name of the game's executable.
That worked for me.

tried it on every executable I can find.
On xcomapoc, it launches a dos window, and tries to load a .dll file. Then, nothing happens.

on vdms_apoc, it loads the .dll file sucessfully, but then stops doing anything after.

[The Fifth Horseman]

OK, so that doesn't work.

Go into the command line window and do what I said in the last post - enter the games' directory, use DOSDRV command and then run the game executable.

[ShadowXavier]

Nop.. dosent work.
Same fault.

Last line says sucessfully l"oaded and initialized". Then nothing happens anymore.
Frustradting! :wallbash:

Maybe your game is corrupt.
Try a different copy.

[ShadowXavier]

nop.. I play it via dosbox. But it lags.
And then it works fine,, with sound and all.
But, it lags as you mentioned earlier... tried to raid the CoS.
Fired of every gun with Xplosion and Incendiary ammo.
Mayhem! Poor computer...
