Did you download the game from this web site. If you did use the ufo.exe and not the ufo defence.exe. the ufo.exe is the fix for the speed problem.
If you did not then download it.

Yes, I downloaded the game from this site, and yes, I think its still running a little too fast. Plus, the game isnt maximized right, some top part is cut off. TFTD, on the other hand, has been working perfectly for me. It still plays well like the old days. As for XCOM3, if the mouse isnt so choppy, I might even consider finishing it.

Hi,
I am having some problem playing this game. Its running way too fast, and I cant slow it down. And I cant get it to work with DOSBox, because the game says it doesnt work in DOS mode. So, what do I do?

Please Help! :help:

Evan

Down load the dos version and try that in DOSBox.

Well, one's got to work with what one's got at hand. If I lose my HWPs and really want to go on with the mission, maybe some of my soldiers will be more exposed. They should always be kneeled down. But of course you can always abort the mission. You can play either cautious or reckless, but if you were fixed by such heavy enemy fire even before getting out the transport, and you didn't want to lose your experienced soldiers, then I guess you did the right thing.

I think I will take a mix of seasoned and unseasoned soldiers for these types of missions. I don't like to play reckless and I don't like to be forced to give up so easily. I can live with loosing tanks and rookies.

I just wanna say that after reading these posts my personal stratergy has so greatly improved that my men now cover each other and on terror missions the highest number of casualtys are never higher than 2.

It just shows that all the advice was excellent :monkey dance:

Tip:when arming my men at bigining of missions i give them all but 1st two of my men in left hands proximity grenades and prime it at the start...

UFO is fab. Looking forward to being able to play it again.

One problem though, despite having the original CD rom I cant get dosbox to run it! So I thought OK then I'll do what every other numpty out there does and Download it. Still no joy :-(

It will do one of 2 things. Either lock up, or start with scrambled graphics and then lock up. Suggestions?

What if some of your men get MC controlled and drop their weapons while inside the ranger. You've just created a mine field.

It's cruel to say this but losing a rookie is hardly a setback. :twisted: So you can include some of them in all your teams and dispatch them exposed up front. However you'll find that this will limit the movement of your whole team, because rookies will have few TUs. But this won't affect the mission result (except for civ deaths in terror missions), it's just that you'll spend more turns in ending each mission.

Besides, maybe you're not aware but according to the manual a soldier's accuracy is greatly impaired if he doesn't have his left hand free, you can check the percentages. This happens for 2-handed weapons, but 1-handed ones (pistols) are just worthless.
