![]() Hi,
I've tried to play Xcom, but I can't. First I tried the windowsversion I downloaded from this site. There are three files in it that are executable in some whay. Two with a little sun-like icon, and one face-like icon. The first two don't work, I get an memory error when I open the ufofixed file, but it's very likely I don't even have to open them, but don't realise that. The other files opens, starts up the game, but with part of the window out of my screen. I read that could be a problem concerning scaling-options of the graphic card, so I went to my ATI controlcenter, but did not find any options about ratio or scaling. So I tried dosBox. I installed it, like discribed, tried to mount a C: drive, wich first failed as I did not use a map right on my real C: drive. (mount C C:\my documents\ blablabla ...\dosgames does not work. I had to use mount C C:\dosgames for it to work) I worked my way around that, downloaded the dos version, and followed the rest of the instructions. I can now easely, in dosbox, find my way to the xcom folder, located in dosgames, yet, I don't get the game started. What exactly do I have to do now? There are multiple executable files, yet some, like setup.exe, only give the response that Z: is my virtual drive, en C: my C-drive. Install only says that the game is installed, but still, don't let me get it started up. In the folder runexe, is a file called run.exe, but after opening that, it gives me the error that dos4gw.exe does not exist, while that file is placed in the folder above, xcom. I've tried placing that file in the same folder, and the run-file in the xcom folder, but nothing works. Can someone please help me solve this? Thanks in advance |
