Guest Zenith Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 Greetings people I have windows XP and I play Interceptor a lotBut all of a sudden I get a probe droid who jams my researchBut if I fly to it I get a horrible beeping sound, and I cannot find the probeit's 0km from me and on my right radar it shows that it is me... Anyway I can fix that ???Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl. Facehugger Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 It is there, just really, really tiny. (Just hit it with missiles or tracking tracer cannons.) Or you could bring wingmen and order them to take it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevelyan Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 (edited) This thread makes me question why I cannot Mod the Xcom 1 technical support forum along with the other two, as this is in the wrong place. Notice, how it says Xcom 1: Technical Support at the top of your screen. Hopefully one of the other super admins here can move it for me Edited January 23, 2004 by Trevelyan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 Cpl Facehugger... I wish you where right, but the range is 0 km and I cannot increase it , and if I fire a missle, it just flies into space, my teammates cannot destroy it either.They say that they gonna do it but they don't , they just fly around... Oooh this is horrible !!!!! :crying: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j'ordos Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 This is a bug, which is up till now not solved, nothing you can do about it, sorry :whatwhat: . Moved to xcom4 : tech support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[dipstick] Posted January 24, 2004 Report Share Posted January 24, 2004 Yep, has happened to me too. the only way round it is to uninstall XP, and use the much better Windows 98 Easy isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl. Facehugger Posted January 24, 2004 Report Share Posted January 24, 2004 Can you retreat and then try to attack it again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j'ordos Posted January 24, 2004 Report Share Posted January 24, 2004 It's possible to abort, but if you attack again, the same problem will occur. It's not random. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl. Facehugger Posted January 24, 2004 Report Share Posted January 24, 2004 Erm, can you send wingmen to destroy it, but you stay out of combat yourself? I can't remember if you can have a squadron fight without being in the battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[dipstick] Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 Nope, they apparently ALWAYS need your guidance. As j'ordos says, unfortunately you either have to put up with the jamming, or play with another OS, or forget about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 TObad there isn't a cheat where you can destroy all ALIEN activity alive..Or is there ? So that could make it a little easier And the other OS... nah thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl. Facehugger Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 Hmm, Just let me dig out my old interceptor strategy guide... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[dipstick] Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 I have one too, somewhere I will post the 'cheats' I used to win. They were actually bugs, but they made the game SO much easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupSuper Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 very annoying bug. luckily my initial base was placed next to a black hole, which sucks up all of those nasty probes still, invisible pirate bases truly make you wanna kill microsoft. actually, everything makes me wanna kill microsoft. or bill gates. whichever comes first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 Dipstick Can you please post the 'cheats' here then ? So I can get rid of that stupid thingy that's blocking my research , thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[dipstick] Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 sorry, they weren't to stop the bug. I used them to win the game. They will not help you get rid of the probes. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl. Facehugger Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 Save and reload? Ignore the probe? Uhh...Dismantle the base? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted March 14, 2004 Report Share Posted March 14, 2004 hey how do u know where a black hole is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl. Facehugger Posted March 14, 2004 Report Share Posted March 14, 2004 No, alien probes last forever. Must be due to those alien duracell batteries. Although I have found a way to circumvent the probe problem. You have to use the cheats though. There is a 'destroy target' cheat that when used will destroy the probe. (Just hyperspace out, it will work normally despite the fact that your ship has been 'destroyed') As for a black hole, why not make one with a nova bomb?

SupSuper Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 (edited) hey how do u know where a black hole is?they're black circles with a white outline on the map (or, if zoomed in, they're like a white spiral. just press it and it'll say black hole). or, like cpl. facehugger said, make one with a nova bomb (if you have one). they only suck up probes, so you don't have to worry about your base being sucked up i think alien probes do expire, but they last much, but much more time than ours. u could've said that sooner cpl. facehugger, just found them cheats. hope they solve our problems.u can see them at http://www.gamewinners.com/DOSWIN/blxcominterceptor.htm Edited March 15, 2004 by SupSuper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl. Facehugger Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 Well, I didn't have interceptor on my comp to check. I've verified them, it works. Your ship will majorly screw up, but as long as you press H you will hyperspace normally (well...Semi normally. You'll be better after the battle, I promise.)

Guest Liam Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 I have this problem as well, enemy bases, probes, they are all -0.00km and always behind me on the radar but, the funny thing is, you can see your base's and outposts but why not the enemys..... im gonna try turning off Direct X 9c and see whats happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
