It seems you've downloaded the windows version of UFO then? I believe the DOS version is also available here at Abandonia, that one works fine through Dosbox...

Weird though that Turbo didn't work, I used to have an Athlon XP and I think it worked ok for me... What % did you set it on? I've had before that setting Turbo for example to 70% would nearly not slow down a game, whereas 65% was just perfect --> try finetuning the slowdown % first before you can be sure that it doesn't work.

I have no trouble running it in windows, it's just too fast in the geoscape. I tried turbo at 50% and didn't see any difference.

I installed the game and used the XCOMUTIL patch which fixed the garbled video, but now I get this annoying blinking thing when I am playing. Has anyone seen this before or know how to fix it???

:wallbash:

Hey guys,

discovered abandonia just two days ago and since then I am reliving my childhood and youth again. Great site! Have some proplems with running Ufo though. The Dos-Version does not run at all (with Dosbox) and the Windows version runs perfect until it should switch to a battlefield. Then I instantly get kicked from the game and a error msg appears. I tried to run it in combability mode for Win95, as suggested earlier, which gave me sound but no improvement about the situation when it is getting to the battlefield. Oh by the way, this only counts for the ufo.exe, the ufodefense.exe gives me some graphic errors
I have Windows XP and I have no idea what services packs I have.... I just dl it from the side, unpacked it and tried to run it. I have to install a patch or something just let me know.
Would be nice if you could give me any help, I´m playing Wing Commander until then...

Regards

You guys should try my illogical solution that is in this same post, few pages behind. Look for it.

This is one of the most addicting games ever! I actually skipped studying for an exam the other night so I could play more UFO

Sorry, but I didn't read the whole thread.. The problem is GeoScape plays way too fast in the Win version and I swear I just cannot get this game running with DosBox. Apparently there are some programs for just slowing the game down? Where can I find one of these?

It's quite normal that the windows version won't run in Dosbox...

Have you tried slowdown utilities like Turbo? Run one of those in parallel with the game and see if that helps.

Heh, meant to say that I can't get the DOS version to work with DosBox.. Where can I find this Turbo?

You can find Turbo and other slowdown utilities at

But the Dos version should work under Dosbox, plenty of people including me have already done so. You can always download D-Fend (just google for it) as a front end to Dosbox, makes adjusting settings a lot easier...
