Bomb Bloke Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 What version do you have? What operating system are you running? Can you give more details on what happens when it "crashes"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade_Red1918 Posted June 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 well i play the game on 95 compatabilty mode and i have visual themes and advanced text services turned off a for version of the game i wouldn't know how to check it, but i've tried turning off direct draw and it didn't make a diffrence. My computer is 2.8ghz and is running on windows xp home editon. Oh and when it crashes it just exits out the game no messages of anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomb Bloke Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 What happens if you don't use the compatibility modes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade_Red1918 Posted June 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 game runs fine without the compatabilities but still has that problem crashing and also i think it's the first version. Oh yea since i'm askinf i've got EU collectors widtin sound and music and the game work fine but there's jsut one problem the sising of it one the screen is messed up like it doesn't use the whole screen it just uses a small bar across the monitor and i've turned off directdraw and it helps with the messed up colours but not the screen sizing.

Bomb Bloke Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Well, as far as TFTD goes the best I can recommend is XcomUtil. It probably won't stop the game crashing, but it'll make it somewhat easier to recover from (it splits the executable into two segments, so if the tactical part fails the geoscape view pops back up). Just remember to keep saving and you'll probably be fine. When you say the UFO screen sizing is too small, do you mean part of it is chopped off (that is, the view is cropped), or that the view is squished (that is, really incorrectly sized)? If it's the later, and you're using a LCD screen, chances are you can't do much about it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade_Red1918 Posted June 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 thanks for your help bb an yea with EU it's everything is squished and yea i just play the game how it is it's not too hard to adjust to. As for TFTD i'll try reintalling it and ten putting the utilty on and see how it goes once again thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
