hmm i remember back when this topic was about which organizations to attack...lol naw its all good, anyways thanks for the tips guys, man it is awesome that this game still has such dedicated fans now like 8 years later. If only someone could make a new version of apoc with multiplayer, it would have such a tight online community. oh well... btw im having trouble with transtellar, its freaking driving me nuts, every game i play they always start hating me with no prevoking on my part. What can i do to get these fags to come around?? its such a pain without them....i know they arnt to fond of megapol, lol by a little experimentation, but man i dont think they hate anyone else...i dont know what to do, im about to just snap and go start killing them...

Well, here in my megaprimus X-Com terrorizes the city. However I am wondering what the effects of all this agression will be, besides getting raided, which I see as saving me the time of raiding someone else for weapons and points. Anyways, anyone know the best orgs to raid as far as what you get off the ground and what can happen if they hate you (I mean besides the manufacturing orgs)? I have been mostly raiding COS, Sensovision, and Energen (loads of elerium), but who else do you guys like to trash their buildings?? Also one other question - anyone know exactly what causes increase in the different attributes of your agents?? I am pretty sure either volume of shots fired or number of hits scored from shots fired increases acc??? (M4000 agents increase quick) Well, tips would be much appreciated.

Hey believe it or not i have good news....im playing apoc on XP. I'm using the DOSBox thing, but only after applying all the mods that I mentioned at the begining of this subject. Its a pain to mess around with the frame rates and the CPU cycle speed to get it fast enough to be playable, its still a little slow and choppy but, hey its apoc, and i was desperate.

Well actually I am not gone forever, just really busy, but I still have not got apoc working. That Windows 98 Partition sounds interesting, how is it done?? I might try that its not to hard/expensive. But yeah I have used all those patches but when you get into the game it total freezes. Anyways if anyone is ACTUALLY playing on XP it is your DUTY as an X-Com player to help us out here!! lol BTW heres the link to the site that i used as a guide to get as far as i did http://www.xcomufo.com/forums//index.php?act=ST&f=26&t=841

I was having all the typical Apoc in XP problems. -File Buffer problems during install. (40/0 instead of 20/20) -Sound card not detected. -And crash after intro (that didnt work) where white blinking curser appears in upper left corner and then returns me to desktop. Well, I downloaded "VDMsound" installed that. After that the intro worked but was REAL slow and choppy, everything else same. So I downloaded "xcom3fix.zip" I followed all the instructions and started Apoc. Yay it worked, but the mouse was to slow to play. So I downloaded "MOUSECTL.COM" which you modify the .bat file from "xcom3fix" that starts Apoc. Great! Now mouse is good speed, sound works (cracks a little but works), game starts, plays, BUT totally freezes up when im playing, the only option i have is to turn of my computer and turn back on....... Im so mad ive done everything i can think of and read about here....so if anybody has any idea about how to stop it from freezing please help!!! Apoc is a awesome game and im about to go crazy if i cant play! LOL
