Can't get xcom 3 - apocalypse to run in dosbox
 

Can't get it to run at all, i tried mounting the xcom 3 folder as a CD-ROM, i tried mounting my dos games folder as a hard-drive and running it through there, it gives me this message saying it cant find L:\xcom3\xcom3.cfg, then i tried mounting the folder as an L drive and it still doesn't work! :mad: Can someone help?

1. Mount your dos games folder as the C drive
2. Edit XCom3.cfg and replace the drive reference there with one that points to the folder where the game is placed (the path in DOSBox, remember)
3. Run the game's setup and configure it.
4. Try running the game now.

If that didn't work, tell me and I'll see about providing a different solution for you.

1. i already tried that, i even mentioned it in my previous post, did you read it?

2. just tried it, didn't work

3. ditto

4. ditto

I meant, in order. You never know what to expect with newbies.

Anyway... unpack the file from inside the attached ZIP to the game directory and confirm overwrite. It assumes the game directory is placed at the root of the virtual C drive and is named Xcom3.

tried doing it in order, but the setup won't run! it just freezes dosbox up!

try playng with core settings and cycles settings

I usualy simply use only VDMSound and it works fine...

it works simply fine with dosbox too =P i sometimes wish i could get all those newcommers computers and try for myself

Sorry for being such a noob, but how do you do that?

well, there's a "readme.txt" in the dosbox directory. search for "core" and "cycles" strings in the file. try changing to different cores (they are all written there) and increase your cycles to about i dunno 20 000, or maybe max? just read the readme
