Grim_Wizard Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 I'm playing X-Com Ufo enemy unknown with a fix (I know this isn't the problem) and in order for the colors to be right I have to exit out of windows explorer (Ctrl+Alt+Delete, processes, explorer - end process) That too is not the problem. So after advanced game play it crashes more and more often, but when I start a new game it does not crash. Any suggestions?(Btw there is no log file that I know of) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzzyface Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 I'd buy another crappy computer with Vista (or whatever you were running) on and run it on there instead.For the life of me I wouldn't go through everything you do just to run a game I know is going to crash.

Grim_Wizard Posted April 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 You have no idea how much I love X-Com.I'll prbly. get a new old computer with windows 95, or just finish my computer I've been building since I was 14. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grim_Wizard Posted April 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Compatibility=Does nothing. Besides I have to shut down windows in order to play the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunter42 Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Compatibility=Does nothing. Besides I have to shut down windows in order to play the game.Did you try 95/98? That's what X-com games were designed for originally I believe. And from what I've gathered, you're not shutting down Windows, just explorer.exeWhat fix are you using?Try:WIn. 95/98 (if you havn't already)http://www.dosbox.com/ - Emulates DOS and been recommended to Vista users who want to run X-comTurn off DirectDraw Acceleration/3D acceleration.Buy a digital version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
