Kickalienass Posted September 3, 2002 Report Share Posted September 3, 2002 Do any of the companies who created the X-com games still suport them? Specificly I am having problems with Apocalypse sound- I've tried some solutions on this site but I am only getting lockups every time I try to use the sound. SO I was wondering if Microprose or Mythos would offer solutions that havn't been tried before....maybe we could petition for a patch. At anyrate any help would be helpful.

Cutedge Posted September 4, 2002 Report Share Posted September 4, 2002 Corporate support? Not that I know of. I dunno if Infogrames supports the Hasbro/Microprose legacy products. Before we can answer tech support questions, a few questions for you... What's your computer (processor/memory/etc)? What's you sound card? What's your operating system?

Pete Posted September 4, 2002 Report Share Posted September 4, 2002 You're not likely to find ANY corporate support any more. Microprose seems to be part of Infogrames now and Hasbro bought the rights to X-COM and then Infogrames bought out Hasbro and now Firaxis have ended up with all of the old Microprose title rights, but that doesn't mean they'll support a game they didn't create Therefore, ask away and pray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kickalienass Posted September 4, 2002 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2002 Well my processor is a 1.2 or 1.4 gig AMD Athlon in a Asus A7A266 mother board. It has 768 sd ram and. I'm using Creative SB Live! sound card and a Voodoo 5500. And the os is Win ME. I only have the vaguest notion of what this all means Is there anything else you would have to know? I REALLY liked Apoc and if you could help me get it work again I would be MOST happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cutedge Posted September 4, 2002 Report Share Posted September 4, 2002 I'd be inclined to say that it's Windows ME, but that'd be lazy on my part. I have a SBLive 5.1+ as well, so I'll get my copy of Apocalypse later on today and try to get it to work, and i'll get back to you on how to do it. ...to be continued.

Kickalienass Posted September 4, 2002 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2002 The thing that irks me is that it USED to work. I just don't remember when or what my computer was like when it did. I've used ME for as long as I can remember and the only things about my computer I remember changing are the processor, motherboard, sound card, and ram. I THINK the rest were the same since it worked last. I tired to play it without sound...man it just isn't the same. At any rate if it IS the os I cold probably partition the hard drive. Thanks for the attention to this matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
