Eagle of Fire, can you give me a link for the DOS version? Also, is there any difference in the gameplay between the versions? I feel like I am downgrading........
This is so painstaking! I used to be able to play it!! :wallbash: |

Does anybody know what .exe/.bat to use in the DOS version? Do they work in DOSBox? I couldn't figure out which one... Thanks
By the way Thanks everyone for the troubleshooting! |

Japofran,
It says in DOSBox "CALL UFOCD.BAT." Nothing runs. In XP it says that it is not a valid Win32 app. Its size is 0 KB :blink:. Also it seemed like the graphics in DOSBox changed (in the red intro screen) so there is obviously something wrong with the XCOM/My Computer interaction..... I guess this defies your logic, EoF. Midget, with GO.exe the screen goes blank in DOSBox, on XP it says "Not enough memory on exec" a infinite number of times. |

No, it doesn't. But just like all other times, I'm going to download the DOS version again and try it. Give me a few moments and I'm getting back to you.
Edit: Okay, worked fine like all other times. Fired up DOSBox 0.72 and I needed to run setup.bat to set up sound support because it's set to none by default. Selected soundblaster and soundblaster/adlib for sound, then tryied full.bat. Sound didn't work, so I typed in ufocd.bat and then it worked like a charm. I just don't understand why it would not work. |

The command "call" is a command you'd use in a batch file (.bat) to call other programs while keeping the batch file running. You don't need to type that to run a batch file, but it should not prevent the file from running anyways.
If you have a 0kb file, you probably have a problem with corruption. I'd try redownloading the game. That, or your unarchiver is not working properly. a 0kb batch file would be possible, but then it would be completely blank. |
