  1. Cheers for letting me know about patch. Haven't played game for a while so will be good to see how it differs with the new patch. Rgds Steve
  2. Hi You can get more scientists and technicians by building more labs/workshops-each building supplies 10 extra scientists or technians-I'm playing without the mods and am doing ok so far. I've just come across some aliens with paralysing powers that are a bit sneaky and have had a fair few of my men/women recovering in hospital after missions!! I'm waiting to see if my newly researched first aid kit and weapons are going to help me!! Rgds Steve
  3. I've just got the game and am about 1/2 hour into playing it. I actually really like it-it feels familiar!! I noticed on some other posts about there being difficulty lrvrl settings but I didn't see any on the start up menu. On I've just got the game and am really enjoying it. Being similar to X-Com I know where all the buttons etc are but with minor differences!! I saw somewhere that there was a difficulty setting but have'nt come across this? Also on p10 of manual the graphic of Geosscape left hand side bottom symbol (6) has terror written below it-is this gonna be a terror site? I don't think (so far) that the aliens have been better than my men-they seem to be just as lousy shooting and missing as my men. Also they can be equipped with first aid packs so maybe they can be treated on field. As I say i've only started game and haven't come across the issues others have posted about (yet). Also hopefully if others see the interest in game maybe more X-Com type games will be developed and put on sale. Rgds Steve
  4. Cheers mate Explains why I couldn't find the serial number!! I'm playing game without patch at moment so will carry on and then restart with patch to see the differences. Thnaks for pointing me in right direction Rgds Steve
  5. Thanks for that Babyarm, I can't see anything like that on the box or disc!! Game seesm to play ok so I don't neceesarily need the mods but it would be nice to know where to get the number from if I ever did need to load it up!! I have the UK version does any one else here have UK version and have they located serial number!!! Rgds Steve
  6. I've downloaded patch but it wants a serial number? I've tried the things I think are serial numbers on CD and box but they are coming up invalid. Where on box or CD should I be looking? And how many digits is it!!! Rgds Steve
  7. Hi Bomb Bloke Still no luck-I have downloaded your latest suggestion but, I assume I put it into the particular game folder I want to play eg. into UFO Defense if that's the game I want to play and TFTD if I want to play that one-Is that correct or does it go up a directory level? Also there are 2 exe files : xcloader.exe and xcom1fix.exe do i just click on xcloader and then xcom1fix.exe to get game to run? I'm hoping i'm doing something silly and can get game to run. I was also looking at maybe DosBox as that seems to run the game from messages I've seen. I dug out a copy of a box set of UFO Enemy Unknown with Syndicate and got that part running-without any patches- it froze trying to load terror mission and didn't have any sound but even if I get that working won't be able to play TFTD which is on collection box. The only good side is I got Extraterrestrials game in post today so am going to load that up to drown me sorrows!!! Rgds Steve
  8. Hi Bomb Bloke I will try all your suggestions. I had a search round on forum and noticed that "That Guy" had the same problem as me-I've PM'd him to see if he worked out how to get it working-Hopefully he did!! Do you know whether the steam TFTD has been updated to play on XP-Might be easier to buy and download that rather than try and get it running from the CD. Rgds Steve
  9. Hi Bomb Bloke-cheers for the advice, I did move it in with the rest of the game files. I may have another go and try with all anti virus etc turned off maybe they were interfering with installation. Will let you know how I get on. Rgds Steve
  10. Hi Bomb Bloke That looks like the file I want however
  11. Hi Everyone Just found this board-after finding out about the new Extraterrestrial UFO style game. So also decided to dig out my collectors edtn and play through the old games. I'm starting back from begining UFO Enemy Unknown and although game loads I cannot view graphics there is a wavy line going flickering across screen which means you cannot view anything. I have an NVidia graphics card and run Windows XP Pentium 4 CPU 512MB RAM. I assume need to download patch but there are a few different ones listed here-Do i just go for the latest version-also how do I install it (I'm a bit of a technophobe) but want to have a go to get the games running again. Ta in advince Steve
