I have successfully started the game and all things work fine until I try to go into battle. I cant get into a land battle in this game what should i do I hope I can configure dosbox to correct this. The win32 version port was poorly done, and you are better off getting the dos version, which will run quite well under DosBox.īut little problem with the sound and the game is too slow. You've got the win32 port of xcom, not the original dos version (The collectors edition from 1998). One of the batch files will run it first for you but the others won't.įor those having trouble with 'win32' or 'won't run under DOS' messages. My version of the game has a file called sndstart.exe in the sound directory - this needs to be run first or sound won't work. Please help me i realy want to play this game on MACOSX! Thx I have to restart dosbox and restart the game. But it is freezing often in the tactical part. It worked fine for a few days, after i gave it permission to create new files, then i saved during a tactical battle, and the game crashes whenever i try to start itĪt first look the version 1.4 of the game seems to work. If you downloaded the game elsewhere, make sure it's not v1.4 before complaining of sound issues.Īnyone have trouble running xcom 1 with vista and. Use v1.0, v1.2 or the v1.4 version shipped with CD-ROM instead. This is not DOSBox fault, but MicroProse's.

( 06:25)įloppy versions manually updated to v1.4 have corrupted sound. Going to try some of the suggestions I see in previous posts. All I get is some intro music and blank video. # Lines in this section will be run at startup. Then, my autoexec at the end of nf makes everything work: Once, you will need to configure the sound using setup.exe. You need to execute sndstart.exe just before executing go.exe.
#Not dosbox dos emulator how to
Here is how to get the sound working in this version:
#Not dosbox dos emulator zip
I got a DOS version from and it works perfectly in DOSBOX after unpacking the zip except for no sound. It will likely only be patched by some clever hacker. In my prior comment, the blank screen is a known problem with the windows version on Vista. Thankyou for DOSBOX - it is definitely worth hitting the Donate button.Ġ.72 on Vista, it runs now DOSBOX for the win ! ( 01:31)
#Not dosbox dos emulator code
My code snippets lost their formatting in the prior post :( but you can prolly figure it out. I tried all your suggestions but its still not working. Just gonna use the Windows version with the fan patch. It runs, but some parts are really slow while others are too fast. Real problem is that after closing DOSBox, I can no longer get to the Internet I have to reboot in order to restore connectivity. The game itself is fine, although on larger mission maps the play gets choppy. Picked up X-Com: UFO Defense through Gamestop, and it came running with DOSBox. Win7: No internet connectivity after playing ( 02:32) Now if only I could get Apocalypse to run consistently?

I have to slow down my computer to 6% to get it to run at a slightly choppy but playable speed.

X-Com 1/UFO: Enemy Unknown - Microprose (1994)Īble to run on DOS Box.
