  1. Well, its October now on my new patched and non x-com util game, and no problems. I encounter purely Heavy Plasmas, and I'm not even having the disappearing ammo problem, which probably means its a corruption caused by X-Com Util. I would like to play using x-com util, but is there any way past the heavy plasma/plasma pistol problem?
  2. Its a downloaded version from before Steam got hold of them and started reselling them, my CE cd is far too scratched too work. So basically its a UFO 1.0 which you extract where you want it and play it from then on dosbox.
  3. Well, like I said, I tried playing the version I was playing on before (normal 1.0 + x-com util which patches it), once it had been patched with version 1.2 and 1.4, but after that, any executable stopped working, the screen opened on dosbox, but stayed black and went nowhere. So I installed a fresh install and patched it with 1.2 and 1.4, but not x-com util. The patches themselves suggest starting a new game. Hence, here I am again.
  4. Thanks guys, also, hope you are all having a good new year! As for the updates, I tried updating a version that was already 'updated' by X-Com Util, but whenever I tried any of the executables, the screen on dosbox was simply black and went nowhere. I have made a clean install and updated both to 1.2 and 1.4. So far it works, but it means I will have to play again till september to see if they work on the problems I have encountered. Also, what happens if I install x-com util now? (that they are patched to v. 1.4?) The annoying thing about this is that I have to keep constantly replaying from scratch to check for errors on different versions. In all honesty, if I cant have x-com util working I don't think I want to go through with it. I will see what the non x-com util 1.4 version does, and take it from there. Thanks for all the help.
  5. Well, I hope everybody has a good xmas! Having played the unpatched and non x-com util modified version, I have encountered the same problem again, playing on superhuman (although I did notice what seems to be the inverted difficulty bug where I seemed to be playing one easy). Got both problems again, the disappearing ammo and plasma pistols exclusively, again, from September onwards. ideas?
  6. Sorry Zombie, I didn't read/missed that note. I'll try that. On a related note, a dreadnought on an alien retaliation mission heading for my base in South East Asia has just stopped on top of my base in Africa and seems to have made a home for itself there. Its been a week now and its right there, on top of that base, and I get no messages for any intercepts I send there. It seems like my game is probably being corrupted. Maybe I should attach a save game? Also, thanks for replying in such festive times. I wish you and your family a merry Christmas! CK.
  7. Hey guys, just a bump, im having the same problem again: Cheers.
  8. Superhuman. Btw, is there any way to find out why I keep getting aliens armed with pistols as opposed to heavy plasmas and how I can (if possible) change that? Thanks.
  9. Yeah, I was kind aware there was a bug relating to missing ammo, the problem is that not only do partially used clips vanish (as is the case in TFTD if im not mistaken) but ALL clips vanish at the end of the mission, even ones I don't use. The result is that I come back from a mission in a deficit, as even clips the aliens did not use vanish too. Is this normal? Is this what the bug is about? As for game enhancers, I am only using X-Com Util. THere is a function to swap all weapons in a tactical game to heavy plasma, but these are not permanent and must be done on a mission by mission basis. I will upload a saved game so you can have a look at it. I also find it strange that there are no ethereals around, and its already been a year... I'm having doubts if this is even superhuman difficulty! Edit: is there any way I can upload files through the forum itself?
  10. OK, so I have installed X-COM Enemy Unknown, and used X-Com util to patch it. (its working on dosbox). I started a game on superhuman. My base got attached on the 12th and destroyed. So I started again. This time I did rather well, except that very few aliens began using heavy plasma, and when they did, they ceased to do so very soon. Now I only get aliens with plasma pistols (exclusively). No rifles, or anything else, just pistols. This is in all missions. In the brief period they did yield heavy plasmas, I noticed that I would not get their clips at the end of a battle, the result being I very suddenly found myself without ammo for my own heavy plasmas. The clips I seemed to take with me during the mission also seemed to vanish by the end of it. Also, its January 12 2000 and only now have I noticed an ethereal showing up, very late I reckon? So, whats going on? Seems like there has been some corruption or something. All alien attacks on cities I have had have been by floaters and only two by sectoids, and mutons only appeared a month ago. What the heck?
