natskee Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 Greetings Gurus,I have tried some of the things you said to try, but nothing worked. I am a firm believer in user error. Since I have very limited skills when it comes to using my computer. I guess what I am asking for is someone to give me something of a play by play. For the reason I am sure I am doing something wrong. I have the Apoc 3, and I install it as I am suppose to. I then go into the XCOMA folder and make the “Apoc.txt or bat file” which is still a txt document when I go into the property. I am not sure what it’s supposed to do when I change it to a bat file. I went to the various download sites to get what I need to get and it still does not start. Its possible I am not clicking on the right icon. (can someone tell me which one it is?) But as I said before I believe in user error, so I am going to try everything again from scratch. But I expect to come back with my tail between my legs. Wish me luck One thing I can say is that I am happy to know that I am not alone when it comes to playing the X-com series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j'ordos Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 (edited) You should run xcom3 through that batch file. If you can't get it to work you can always try DOSbox, check the pinned topics in the xcom1&2 tech support forums (no topic here yet, as xcom3 is not yet guaranteed to work properly that way). edit : good luck Edited June 5, 2004 by j'ordos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natskee Posted June 6, 2004 Author Share Posted June 6, 2004 OK it worked!! Now i don't have any sound, but i am sure i will get over it. I did not use Dosbox. It was user error i was clicking on the wrong icon and extracted it in the wrong area. Now i am on the hunt for instructions and good hints. I am sure its in here somewhere Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl. Facehugger Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 Hints? There's always the Xcom 3 Strategy and Tactics forums. We have lots of good hints there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j'ordos Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 (edited) you have installed VDMSound and the VDMSound launchpad, ran setup.exe and entered the correct settings, and are running xcom3 with VDMSound? Take a breath j'ordos, let the poor guy speak! Edited June 6, 2004 by dipstick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
