  1. I had similar problems. Cursor jumped around, in some menus mouse didn't work at all. The game froze all the time. Couldn't drop ufo:s because one of the menus where the mouse froze totally was interceptor battle-window. Ahh, and yes.. the game was so fast it was unplayable, especially in battlescape. Well anyways installed turbo for the speed issue (http://www.xcomufo.com/turbo.zip) and surprisingly it ended all the problems. I set it in 40% and ran the game. Freezing has stopped. Mouse works in every menu, cursor moves smoothy enough, battlescape is still a bit fast but playable. If I drop the speed to 30%, the game starts freezing again and if I set it to 50% the game is too fast. 40% is the magic number for me. And yes, thanks BLADE! Excellent job! Blades patch + turbo = cure for vista
  2. Works excellent with my laptop. Had a blank screen problem before. Here are the steps I took (fujitsu laptop with XP) - D3DWindower-English.exe and D3dHook.dll to game directory. - + button, added both "ufo.exe" and "ufo defence.exe" files - activate "ufo defence.exe" icon and push settings button and choose height 640 and width 480. - double click ufo.exe in D3Dwindower - PLAY Thank you so much. An year ago I wouldn't have believed I can play ufo with my laptop someday.
  3. Very nice to see the amount of progress.. Well, can't see it actually but read. Too bad I can't test the latest build because I don't have the necessary .XNA installed. Tried to install it but it gave me an error message about not having a C# visual studio or something installed. I can only hope someone will make a video about this build to give an old fart like me a chance to see the battlescape and all. Keep up the good work anyway!
  4. impossible to spam because even though you click "add reply", the text is edited to your old post B
  5. what do you mean? 2908 edit: liar it's off
  6. You probably have installed the svga fix? http://www.xcomufo.com/x3faq.html If it won't help, try this: http://www.xcomufo.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=841 If that won't help, try using dosbox. Although this topic is for Vista, it will work on XP the same way: http://www.xcomufo.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=242027667
  7. Yeah! At least it seems to work now. Thanks a lot!
  8. Here's the saved game. Hope you can help me.GAME_1.zip
  9. What version are you using ? I've had the same problem with my dos version. but i've found somewhere on this forum, that there is a path that fixes this problem. you will find it in my attachment. just simply replace the files and there you go. Didn't help. I have DOS version running in dosbox.
  10. THIS IS HIGHLY IMPORTANT! I researched live deep one before magnetic navigation and now I can't research mag. nav.! This bug should be added to the research tree! edit + I started a new game and I didn't research anything before I came back from first landed ufo. Even then I can't research mag.nav. What the heck? This version of the game sucks somehow.
  11. I can't research magnetic navigation although I have it in my general stores. Did you come up with some other fix than starting the game all over again. edit + The whole game sucks somehow. Even though I started a new game, I still can't research mag.nav. DAMNIT!
  12. In my game, the music works fine but fx sounds comes a bit late. When you push a button, the sound comes after one second. That applies to all sounds except music. Pretty annoying, if someone knows a solution, please tell me.
  13. Ok, just came to my mind that I didn't install the http://www.xcomufo.com/xcom3fix.zip although you said I should. I only installed the svga fix. That's one thing different between our systems.
  14. Forget what I said.. Windows had hidden my dosbox.conf behind a "compatibility files" button and I got it working now. I have all the same setups that you have. I don't know why it works on my computer but not on yours. I have dosbox 0.65 and the latest CVS and those dll files you put here. We even have the exact same version of the game. If you'll get an idea how I could help you, please ask. I'm all for it.
