This is overdoing it gosh one game with so many posts??

Hey guys,

sry, wasn´t able to make it run yet. The illogical solution, though quite fascinating idea, didn´t work. (you mean just open DosBox... close it again, run Ufo immedietly right?)
Still there is no way to get onto the battlefield, for then the game chrashes.
And still I also found no way to start the game in Dosbox. The screen just turns black when I start Ufodos by "go" and does not react to any other commands. But would prefer to run it in Windows anyway.


I would love to toast some alien. Can anybody help me? By the way I have no problems with other games. Railroad Tycoon, Wing Commander or Master of Magic are running perfectly....

Regards
Morker

Hi, im running the windows version of the game and I get a severely "wide" screen in the game. With wide I mean the game is cramped into something similar to widescreen movies with black on the top and bottom, but its extremely much black or blank space on the top and bottom. The real gamescreen is actually only about 30% of my screen now everything looks extremely wide!

It obviously sucks and I wonder if there is any fix for it.

Did you try adjusting your monitor's vertical size?

Can't think of anything else.

try ufocd.exe

What can I say, excellent... everything. I can tell you, I played all the parts, but this one specially woke my interest on aliens. I've read all of Daniken books soon after. A masterpiece!

I have the crashing problem, too, and the annoying bit is that if it crashes at some point, it will always crash at that point again. Running DOSBox did not seem to solve the problem, instead it just made the game have weird colours.

Any ideas what I can do? I´d really love to play this wonderful game, but I rarely get further than a few hours into the game (ie, maybe 5 or 6 actual fights) before it crashes.

I have problems playing the Windows version in two different computers. Both computers WinXP SP2, but the the problems are totally different. On the first computer, game crashes when I'm trying to involve in ground combat.

On the second computer, my keyboard doesn't work properly. The game starts ok, but when I try to name my HQ, nothing happens, the keyboard doesn't work. I usually have to reset my computer, because I can't exit the game normally. If I try to activate Windows by pressing e.g. ctrl-alt-del or ctrl-esc, the desktop flashes for a second, but it doesn't jump to Windows. Any solution?

About keyboar, its a totally new problem check the keyboard settings and language.
About random crashing. saving often is the only way to avoid it.
