Hi all,
I suppose several people have stumbled over those two issues. Can anybody help? Is it possible to have a better solution, gamewise there is not, but graphics is what I would want, e.g. 800x600? Is it possible to run UFO, etc. on faster machines without running a slowdown programme? Kind regards, Swordmaster

Hello Swordmaster and welcome to the XTC forums
 QUOTE Is it possible to have a better solution, gamewise there is not, but graphics is what I would want, e.g. 800x600? It's fixed.... QUOTE Is it possible to run UFO, etc. on faster machines without running a slowdown programme? You can run it, but it'll run very fast... if your version is the DOS one... the Collectors Edition solves that problem. -------------------- Resistance is NEVER futile...

Have a look at the following giant screenshot I pieced together that I keep flogging about whenever anyone asks about getting the game in a better resolution:
http://www.geocities.com/nkfarma/uber_screenshot.html That's how the game would look in your current resolution. Granted, 640x480 probably would have been quite nice. - NKF -------------------- Current Avatar Source: A custom GM-Striker.

HoHo NKF!
I am running 1280x1024, so the whole map fits on my screen! Yech!! -------------------- About 95% of people are kidding themselves. The trouble is that almost all of that 95%, by their nature, belive that they are in the other 5%. Ironically most of the 5% are worried that they may be in the 95%.

Thanks, folks!
Here comes my prayer: :angel: Please great Gollop give us a patch for a better resolution. I play UFO again just now and did before umtieth times, having a better resolution would be marvelous. Swordmaster -------------------- No planning for combat survives a combat![I]

What I forgot to say...
NKF, the "über"-screenshot is great. That is how I would love to see the game, with fog of war naturally. Swordmaster -------------------- No planning for combat survives a combat![I]
