X-com Apoc problem

Recommended Posts

I've never gone on any of the 3 collector's edition games other than ufo defense cause i like to complete games in order, but 2day I felt like giving apoc a go, but it won't load. I installed the game ok, but whenever I click on the icon to play it get a black screen and nothing. I've tried the .exe files and the shortcuts, I've tried from dos but it says "mouse not present" but I've got a mouse which works fine.

 

I'm trying to run it on win98, I've got more than the min specs for it, plus ufo works fine, but I don't know about TFTD

 

I wanna play Apoc! Help me!

hhe, I could NOT help you and help you achieve your goal of playing in order... :D

 

I run right from Win98SE, that's no problem for me. If you want to try running from DOS, you need to get DOS mouse drivers, I think. Mouse.com, or some crap.

 

If you're getting a black screen, THAT sucks... Anytihng else, or just black?

I sometimes get the black screen as well, but it usually clears up after a few tries... and sometimes a reboot.

 

Try skipping the intro movie with the -skip command.

 

Also consider disabling your soundcard.

 

While this may not solve your problem, it's worth a try.
