Xcom Too Fast - And How It's Solved

[elgrande]

Hi.

 

 

I found that on my new computer, X-Com Apoc was running

just a bit too fast. Not that it was unplayable, it was just enough

to be annonying.

 

Whatever, i found no Topic here covering this, so i thought i'll write one.

 

Its easy to solve:

 

Get MoSlo from Dr.David's Super Crispy DOS utilities.

 

This program will hook itself into the System before launching the game, just like

the mouse driver you probably use.

 

Install it into the directory where XCom lies ( i.e. C:\Games\XCOM )

 

To Launch the game, go to the command console, change into the directory

you installed. Type

 

moslo /40 xcomapoc.exe

 

That /40 is the speed, use any value from 1-100. 20 works good for me ( 1.8ghz CPU ) but you probably will need to experiment a bit.

 

If you use the Mouse Driver ( mouse2kv.exe ) you need to nest the calls, like

 

mouse2kv.exe 640 480 8 8 moslo /40 xcomapoc.exe

 

 

 

Hope it helps,
