In '5 second mode' every real time second you should see 5 seconds being added to the game time (more or less)

Normally the windows version should run at normal speed, but you can always download a slowdown utility (google for that or for Turbo, probably the best known one)

thanks for the video and tips

the video runs at about the same speed as my game but another_guest said that the game should run at 5 seconds per 5 real time seconds and that is definitely going a lot faster than that. also a lot of the messages seem to go by 2 quickly in battle

ive tried slowdown programs but they dont really work for some reason

if someone could just let me know what im sposed to run to run the dos version that would be great

again i have dosbox and i know how to use it i just dont know which files to run to make x-com run

thanks alot again

wow i would never realise that :blink:

Now that I managed to survive the base attacks, I encounter once again the problem of having one particular base attack mission where the game crashes to desktop a couple of turns into the combat. The attack on the base seems to be scripted, because if I go back to an earlier savegame, it still occurs.

I really am amazed that all the people here seem to be able to play and finish the game, regarding bugs like this. Any help?

Thanks,

UW

I forgot: I installed the DOS Version to see if it would solve anything and even managed to get my savegames running on it, but the game is so slow on my 1200 Mhz Laptop that it's unplayable....

Slow !?!? :blink:

However, use F11 - F12 to decrease or increase CPU cycles.

Eventually, in the DOSbox config file, search for this :

cycles=3000
cycleup=500
cycledown=20

and change some of the setting. For major and detailed info seek for 5th Horseman's help, he is the expert of DOSbox

I think you should just read what the explanation in the DosBox.config says.
Mostly this is enough to make you aunderstand what you should change. k:
