Base defence freeze

[Nezreli]

Hi guys.

 

I'm a long time fan of X-com:UFO but today I'm frustrated.

 

The aliens attacked by base again and usually during the first or the second turn the game locks up on me. It always happens during enemy turn. This happens every time no matter what is the base layout.

 

I'm using CE edition on XP SP3. I'm also using Xcomutil 9.7 but I have only one option enabled: Improved heavy laser.

 

Any suggesions guys?

I don't know how to help you fixing bug, but if you have a save game on Geoscape before the Base Attack, load it and see if the turn freeze happens again.

Btw, I you want to play CE release, better download UFO: Extender and use it instead of Xcomutil, thought you can combine both.

 

If you want to use Xcomutil only, better grab 1.4 DOS version of game and run it under Dosbox, basically I never had such problem like you with Dosbox.

I have a Geoscape save with the battleship at max speed torward my base. I have tried about 7-8 times before giving up. Only one time I succeeded in getting to turn 2. I'll look into UFO:extender
