Yeah, try increasing the cycles a bit, or alternatively download the HoTU version which works with XP. It also saves Abandonia's money! Woohoo.

Hi:

I keep thinking that the best option is to run Collector's Edition instead of DosBox.
Yes, the Dosbox option is there over the table, you can use it, but I think unless you have a monster you won't be able to run it smoothly, specially playing tactical on 4th levels. I know that because I did it before and that was the result. The other options are to get it somewhere or upload the Collectors Edition into abandonia. I think I'll suggest it to the admins and maybe we'll avoid future compatibility problems. I'm now running Xcom3 with DosBox and runs choppy choppy in tactical scape at 7th or 8th levels.
I use DosBox often and I think is a good tool, but I also hate to run my games with a poor framerate. Hope improvements though.
Bye.

Xcom3? Apocalypse? In that case you do not need to run it under dosbox.

I recommend the original of the series. Apoc was lame and TFTD is way too hard and the graphics are worse.

Sorry, but it's true.

Apocalypse is a very decent game if you can take the fact that it is really the worse game of the triology. By taking the game as it is then it is good by normal standard. I always got a lot of fun playing Apocalypse as soon as I learned how the game worked. Unfortunatly it has a steep learning curse... Worse than the original Xcom.
