Im having some problems with the game.


Ill start a game and i doing fine for a while then sometimes at the begining of a mission the game will quit for no apparent reason, doesnt even give me a error message.

Any ideas?


p.s. Veteran mode is freakin hard

Well people call tha crash. Sorry but there is nothing you can do about it. There are some patches which might resolve a part of problems. You can find the link in the starting of page of 102 of this thread. Save Save save save is easier solution...

thanks for telling me about the patch, but i still have a problem.

In one of my games I invaded a alien base, but the screen is all messed up. The cursor leaves a trail, im not sure how to describe it, it looks like the screen isnt refresing or something.

Ill post a screenshot if someone will tell me how.

Hmmm I just got XP and I'm trying to use XComUtil, but it's not having any of it.

Anybody know how to make it work?

You pulverized the whole skout ?! (!?)* :blink:
And the whole surrounding !!??* :blink:* :blink:
Man that had to be COOL :w00t:
And nasty. :evil:
Did you threw some inside ?* :evil:* :evil:
And most of all... did after the boom it was mission acomplished ??* k:

yup that was pretty cool and 1 Yes i put some inside and 2 yup that killed all the eliens still inside and mission accomplished, although some of the explosives goes off before the grand finally and 1 of them blows the first floor in one of the houses(accidentally press the wrong timer) but it was weird that that second floor still floats, but the final turn still looks really cool i mean everything just go BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!! everywhere i mean the roofs, houses, the fields, all around the UFO, it's roof and inside and it looked rather like an air strike, just too bad i coudn't see all the carnage after that since it killed all the eliens in the control room but the explosions were great :Brain: and it was total chaos i mean there was smoke everywhere, the houses were polvorize their roof were blasted to smitherines,the fields were blownoff, the outer layer & the roof of the UFO has lots of hole and the inside was totaly polvorized oh and did i mention the explosions everywhere? :evil:

Also this gives me an idea for my next carnage im going to equip my Avenger with 26 soldiers and 27 High Explosives, first i'll kill everyone outside then i'll suround the UFO with my 26 my soldiers, then i'll equip one of my soldier with 2HE on each hand while the rest has 1 already primed anyway back to the soldier with the 2HE i simply acces the inventory and put one of the already primed HE on the ground and just watch, Hmmmmmn...... i wonder if it would be mision accomplished if all the aliens died or failed since all your soldiers dies also, which ones first i wonder (or maybe i shoul start from the craft to the last alien effect heh)

:evil: I Just Love Domino effects /gg!!! :evil: and maybe i should change my name from the Silent Assasin to Duo the Great Destroyer heh!!! :w00t:

and "PrejudiceSucks" have you tried DosBox?

You have an unpatched version, that is the problem. Just follow the previous advice and patch the game.

I have the windows version of the game, could be to do with that. I'll get the Abandonia version.

There are two types; the rather harmless ones are silacoids. They are almost invulnerable to incendiary ammo. As far as I remember it's this type that leaves a trail on the floor when hovering around at your base. Don't know about alien bases though.

Similar in appearance but far more dangerous are celatids who also accompany mutons, just like silacoids. But celatids fire corrosive acid, that's fired like any alien weapon (I mean, it's a ranged attack, etc.). In any case it deals quite a bit of damage.

I'll contend to the Celatid damage. I managed to Mind Control one on Mars, and it only needed two shots to take out a Sectopod. A ****ing Sectopod. The only weapon that can do the job faster is a Heavy Laser, and they suck against anything else.

Are you talking with me!? Well if your question is about the patch, yes that is for windows. If your qustion is about another thing, then wait a bit more, maybe someone can guess better than me that what was your question about!

[PrejudiceSucks]

What? No! I was talking about XComUtil. Sorry to disappoint you.

From my experience with celatids and silacoids: Both are harmless. I guess celatids can do a lot of damage, but they never get even close... They go down so easily. I think that silacoids do a lot of damage too, but they never get close either, and I haven't seen it myself.
