or maybe the game is just supposed to be this fast im not sure

in 5 second mode are the seconds supposed to be going by like really fast like i cant see them or is it supposed to be slower

in 5 second mode the time passes at about 2 minutes per second and if i press 1 day mode it just goes retardedly fast. is this the way it is supposed to be?

In '5 second mode' every real time second you should see 5 seconds being added to the game time (more or less)

Normally the windows version should run at normal speed, but you can always download a slowdown utility (google for that or for Turbo, probably the best known one)

Molte grazie Incappucciato d'Ombra. I finally handled to kick the aliens behind when they came to invade my base. Must have had something to do with the tank I used plus the laser rifles I researched. Thank you for your detailed tipps.

Conventional firearms are worthless, you won't go far into the game if replacing them with new technology is not your TOP priority. Plasma is more powerful but laser has infinite ammo.

thanks for the video and tips

the video runs at about the same speed as my game but another_guest said that the game should run at 5 seconds per 5 real time seconds and that is definitely going a lot faster than that. also a lot of the messages seem to go by 2 quickly in battle

ive tried slowdown programs but they dont really work for some reason

if someone could just let me know what im sposed to run to run the dos version that would be great

again i have dosbox and i know how to use it i just dont know which files to run to make x-com run

thanks alot again

Launch Ufocd (i suppose that you use the dos version of UFO, downloadable from abandonia, i'm right? )

thanks friend

i never try .bat files i usually only try the exe's

but it is definitely working in proper time now so i can finally enjoy my life

and to the guy who sent the video thanks but you should know that you are also playing the game much 2 fast

but thanks all who helped

Now that I managed to survive the base attacks, I encounter once again the problem of having one particular base attack mission where the game crashes to desktop a couple of turns into the combat. The attack on the base seems to be scripted, because if I go back to an earlier savegame, it still occurs.

I really am amazed that all the people here seem to be able to play and finish the game, regarding bugs like this. Any help?

Thanks,

UW

I forgot: I installed the DOS Version to see if it would solve anything and even managed to get my savegames running on it, but the game is so slow on my 1200 Mhz Laptop that it's unplayable....
