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. :ok:

Link to my topic on "favourite oldies" about a great non-official remake called UFO: Extraterrestrial!

I have a problem.

Whenever I shoot down an alien craft, my game crashes when my land troops get there!
How do I solve this problem???
Someone please help!!

Make sure there is no other craft still in chase of an UFO. It's a known bug.

Does this apply for the DOS-vesion as well?
Or only for the WIN-version?

In all versions, as far as I am concerned.

And by "chase", I mean having a craft chasing an UFO, then minimizing the window and having a small icon at the top right corner of your screen.

Not "chase" as in "in the air on an intercept course". That is not a problem.

We've got 20000 votes for UFO! Congratulations Abandonia! ;)

This has got to be my least favorite bug. What I liked to do (after solving the problem of trying to save the Earth on a shoestring) was shoot down every alien craft. Downing a BB required the near-kamikazi effort of sending four interceptors with avalanche launchers to aggressivley attack it (it usually worked, with 25% to 75% casualties). Four successive interceptors was not enough, you had to keep them minimised; until, all four were standing off, and then charge in. As one interceptor was pounded/destroyed, eight avalanches seriously impeded the BB's efficient operation. Another six missiles usually brought it down. While doing this, I would often forget where the skyranger was.

Once you start arming your interceptors with plasma beams, you have to give up on the BB's, as the shorter range of plasma beams vs. avalanches makes it a futile effort.
