Sectoid Scientist Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 This happens in both X-COM1 and 2 CE and it's happened twice so far in TFTD and once in UFO Enemy Unknown. The game runs fine otherwise, if a UFO lands it's no problem, but if I need to attack one I'm screwed. Am I the only one having this problem?. I'm on an older HP Pavilion Laptop with an... ATI Mobility Radeon 9000/9100 128mb IGP series AGPIntel Pentium IV 3GHz Dual CoreSoundMAX Integrated Digital AudioDirectX 9.0cWindows XP SP3 with DirectDraw Disabled in order to run X-COM. I'm not using compatibility mode for either game, does it have any affect whatsoever?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sectoid Scientist Posted October 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 (edited) I'm sorry I created this topic in the wrong section, it should be in tech support. I should add that using alt-tab, alt+F4 or ctrl+alt+del does nothing. The computer locks up and I need to force a shutdown by holding down the power button. Edit: Problem solved. After looking at this topic I found the problem. I needed to change "MIDI music playback" from "SoundMax Wavetable Synth" to "Microsoft GS Wavetable SW Synth" and I set it to "Use only default devices". Now I can use "ldr_XCOM1.exe" and "ldr_XCOM2.exe" to launch X-COM1 and 2 and not need to manually disable "DirectDraw". I also don't need to use "Turbo" anymore!!. I can raise or lower the music too.

Sectoid Scientist Posted October 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 It was working fine a few times, then it started reoccurring, so I stopped playing on the Laptop and started using my PC instead. It's got a SB Audigy (1) Gamer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
