An XcomUtil game with a slow timer?

Try moving the entire thing to a different area of your drive. DOS programs aren't fond of long file names, especially ones with spaces in them.

.........well sh*t on me.......that worked nicely. Good call dude.

 

 

(although it does on occasion come up with some sort of 16-bit error, but that's hardly causing much grief at all. Winner.)

[Alpha_Monkey]

Hmm, actually it's getting really quite frequent now. Pretty much instantaneous, in fact. Makes personalisizing all my troops rather more annoying than it should be....

 

It says

 

"16 bit MS-DOS subsystem

 

C:\blahblahblah\xcomedit.exe

the NTVDM cpu has encountered illegal instructions

CS:0212 IP:3f3c OP:fe 3c 37 75 1d choose close to terminate the app."

 

Then it crashes out.

Hrmm.

 

edit:

Hmm, seems it's fine if I don't so much as breathe on the mouse.

Suppose I'll try dos-box....

The ClarkWehr editor, eh? Yep, do not move the mouse pointer into the screen while the program is running. That's what causes the crash because it isn't programmed to handle those inputs. Only use the keyboard. I found this out the hard way. Haven't tried it in DosBox, but good luck!
