Question

Greetz! Great Site!

I am having some problems running Xcom3 in XP SP1.

I've tried DosBox 0.63 but it runs very poorly, even at 9000 cycles, more cycles don't help and the frameskip makes the mouse cursor choppy.

On win95 compatibility mode I can see the intro logos well and not choppy at all, but when the titles end, my monitor turns black and says "Frequency over range".

Please help me dudes. :help:

EDIT: I did check those other posts, there are different problems than mine.

SECOND EDIT: Problem solved with patch from Settlers 2 forum on Abandonia!

YOU DON'T NEED DOSBOX!

Just get the file winxpfix.exe from here http://www.jonsguides.com/dosgames/settler2.html and follow the instructions.

It's a Settlers 2 page but works for Xcom3. This game is cool, BTW.

Don't forget to set the 5 executables in the folder to windows 95 compatibility and maybe 256 colors and 640x480 resolution, depending on your configuration.
