Have you tried downloading DosBOX? Everything usually runs better with that..for me anyway ;)

I haven't downloaded this but I think DosBOX probably works with it...

Correct me if I'm wrong

Well DOSBox certainly won't work with the Windows version, which is what's up on Abandonia :P

I'm an idiot.

Actually, the problem was described earlier in the thread, with no sufficient answer. Running the patched version in windows xp, I now get sound and zero crashes, but the game speed is still approx. five times faster than normal, which results in insane scroll speeds, and "interesting" ufo interception battles.

Disabling directdraw does nothing gameplay wise.

Plus I get the added bonus of never being able to see where shots are coming from.

The game image is also stretched out into some sort of widescreen mode, which cause the "interception" tab at the geoscape to be off screen, so you just move the pointer and hope for the best.

Anything that can remedy this?

And I've tried to find the dos version of the game, but hotu doesn't have it.

- The patch already disables directdraw for you, so doing it yourself won't make a difference.
- To slow the game down you need a slow down utility like Moslo or something. Google it.
- DOS version: http://dosgames.ru/index.php?action=game&act=sub&id=199 (just click the link next to the arrows pointing down)

Does anyone have some save games for later in the game? Been playing it for a few days now and the aliens eventually attacked my base and pretty much raped me. I really don't want to do all the boring research and rookie training again.

:help:

Hi, When I click on the UFO exe it loads the game in a screen scambled form. When I click on the UFO exe with the sun on it, it works fine but the screen is a bit big to see the intercept button. When you play its all super fast aswell:(

Many times the games start to crash in a point and if u reload it will crash again but 1 of each fo 100 it can works or not. So, try with using 2 saves slots saving in slot 1 for save before actions in the geoscape window and other for save before missions actions. So if fails in the geoscape mode u can go to your last mission and if fails inside the mission u can go before start the mission. WHY u hace to do this stuff? A: Really after years of studying computers and programing, i can say that the why it´s cuz the game has to rebuild the mission where it fails mostly. B: DO IT cuz i said u to DO IT
:bye:

I will try and help remedy the situation,
Download the patch for windows XP, go into the game, there SHOULD be a scroll speed control in the game. I think you have to go into a mission to actually get it. Oh and btw, I have had one occassion when I launched a rookie at the aliens with a hi-X pack on him, blew him up and nuked the alien vessel, I finished the mission in 2 turns because all the sectoids were inside the ship. I dunno why they didn't come out in the first turn.

Anyway, I also have the problem with speed, but not with the intercept button. Maybe changing the screen resolution and Alt entering to make UFO conform with the screen.

Fast speed = fun for all the family.

Oh and for TFTD, I have not had ANY problems at all.

Saved missions totally work for me, try downloading UFO gold from Underdogs, they have a patched version.
