[The Fifth Horseman]

I don't recall seeing a version of patch 1.4 for the Windows edition...

I need help. I downloaded this game form your site a loooooong time ago and never finished. why? because when I have everything researched, powerfull team and I want to land in crash zone to capture some important aliens, the game reloades an old save game (in which after 2-3 turns the game crashes). Is this some kind of bug?
a few days ago I've found this game on my cd and wanted to finish it but I couldn't (I've started a new game)

Please help me! : /

It's a bug, IIRC occuring if you enter a combat mission while having a combat craft in pursuit of an UFO.

I found an interesting bug in the game. After you transfer or build a plane and you take it for a ride it will have unlimited fuel for the first time. It is very good for finding alien bases.

yesterday I've finished UFO (level Experienced) and I have 2 questions.

1. Is there a web site where I can read the outro text? It's too fast to read it.

2. I play this game again ^^ (this time on Veteran level) and after 1,5 month I have flying suits and reserching heavy plasma. (I got lucky with the ships couse some of them were on ground which gave me Elerium). But before February was ended a very big UFO came to my base and they annihilated my whole crew - is it possible to have an attack so soon?

Yes, it's related to Veteran level

So I have to change my strategy - any suggestions? I have laser rifles and Flying suits.

There's a way to gain money faster, you can start mass production of a weapon, for example laser pistol/rifles and sell them.
They are fast to produce and you don't need too many engineers/space
Also, you could do special mix to optimize the production, but you need to study a bit for that
Flying suits are great, 6 men well equipped can easily clean a huge alien-battleship, the worst part are mind attacks, it's hard to train your unit at the beginning, but tanks are immune to those kind of attacks.

And remember you can save your progress, loading a savegame could save your base from huge attacks, they are random.

If you had that gear and yet you got wiped out, what is wrong must not be your strategy but your tactics. You'll never be much better equipped, and you'll have to face that kind of attacks some day.

Which enemies were you up against and what exactly caused you to lose? 1) Laser rifles might not be the best weapon of choice against specific enemies
2) The second part of the question is to see what you could improve in terms of tactics
