Addition to the last post: I've tried downloading DOS32A v7.33 from the link provided on this thread, but I just get a page telling me that "This page cannot be displayed" and couldn't try that one out.

Hey, I just found this game and I've been having trouble. The game works fine without DosBox, but I don't get sounds and my mouse is moving in slow motion. How can I fix these two? :help:

To get sound you have to use either VDMSound or DOSBox.

Don't know about the sluggish mouse though.

:w00t:

It worked! Thank you so much! The sluggish mouse isn't really a problem either (remembered that the screen can be moved with keys, so I pretty much keep the mouse centered on the middle of the screen). Just like old times...Thanks, SupSuper.

Use VDMSound, the game will work better then in DosBox.

Man I need some help here. I'm a great fan of the x-com series. I maybe the only one who favours apocalypse the most.

I have a laptop which runs intel display drivers and it doesn't seem to want me to run apoc at all. I really need a wirehead to help me work this out. I can't play using dosbox without overheating this damn machine and while the program runs fine in xp, I can't get a true display. I get that weird "built in lines of static" deal that xp seems to make of old games.

So, anyone want some praise for their technical abilities or am I just sunk?

Have you tried disabling DirectDraw before running it? (sometimes it causes that problem)

Start > Run > dxdiag > Display > DirectDraw Acceleration > Disable > OK.

Don't forget to enable it again afterwards.

VDMSound should also help.

I used Dosbox to run apocalypse.
I tried as explained in dosbox
and also the drag-in method.

it comes as following (in dosbox)

c:\xcompoc.exe

but nothing happens.

I really want to try this game. Any reply will be appreciated, thanks.

sorry i mistyped

C:\xcomapoc.exe

nothing happens and come back as

C:\ _

thanks
