Ok I did the DXdiag thing. It works fine. Except that when it goes into a battle it crashes onto windows.

The same problem but onlt crashes when attacking bases

Could the DOS version load the savegames from the Windows version?
Otherwise you could give that a try...

Yeah it can. At least v1.4, since it's exactly the same as the Windows version. Minus the Windows support, that is :P

briliant...

Anyone played UFO aftershock?
Its not bad at all. I think even the X-com diehards will like it. (I am one and I do)

U meant aftermatch right?
Ive heard that its not too good coz there is onlt one height level and you cant enter buildings nor destroy them.

Oh i have an gameplay problem ive reasearched everything on earth (corpses guns live aliens even sectopods and celatids) and i want to blast away cydonia but i have an problen.
My whole squad gets blasted into oblivion before i enter the base and my best solidiers hawe 3-30 psi streangh.
Any tips?

Get new best soldiers

Bring lots of blaster bombs with you and get troops with good psi-str.

Give your troops psi training (which will improve their ability to mind control aliens, but I seem to remember it didn't help in terms of resistance against psi attacks), and keep recruiting new soldiers then discard those with too little psi strength. I'd rather have good psi guys than excellent shooters who get under alien control the moment they set foot on Cydonia.
It might take you a couple of months before your troops are ready for Cydonia...

You're right, Psy skill doesn't help against Psionic attacks. Psy strength helps vs. mind control and bravery helps vs. panicking attacks. Unfortunately, you can't raise Psy strength and it's very hard to raise Bravery - this means if your soldier is suspectable to psionic attacks when you hire him, he'll remain that way throught the game. I've noticed that Alien Psykers deliberately attack your most vulnerable soldiers.

When going to Mars, forget anyone with Psy strength less than 50 and maybe also anyone with Bravery less that 40. The greatest threat on Mars is being blown to bits by your own Blaster Launchers.

No Aftershock is the squel to aftermath.
There are 4+ hieght levels and you can destroy tons of stuff. There are far more reasearch items and the concept is different as you are trying to take back the earth from the aliens, one country at a time.
I have taken most of Europe and am starting on the US (after about 25 hours!!!) ...yeah its bloody adictive!

...Anyhoo, my two cents:
You MUST have a very good Psi level. Blaster bombs go well and Heavy Plasmas are handy for more inclosed areas. Try to spread out but keep your individual soldiers close enough so that they can have a shot to help out the others.

If you rush it you will fail. patience, patience. :bye:
