gunnergoz Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Game is sort of formulaic but it is very replayable. I have 140+ hours on it so far, am about to win on Classic with limited saves - I've allowed all deaths except catastrophic. Next go throughs will be strictly on Classic Ironman mode until I can win it that way. @Stalin's Organist: What sort of CPU and system are you running?

Stalins Organ Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Dual 2.8GHz CPU, XP, 4 Gb Ram, now a 512 Mb AGP vid card - 2k have all this info so I suspect they are probably in a better place to comment than y'all good folk on here 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pak_43 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 It doesn't run on XP mate, there's your problem. Your only chance is to stick a homebrew fix on done by a programmer and released privately. http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2964408 I've tried the fix on my PC at work and it definitely works, so good luck! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunnergoz Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Ah, that explains a lot. You may be in luck though because some guys have gotten it to work on XP, which is not officially supported. Hope you manage it, because it is a fun game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stalins Organ Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Windows 7 upgrades are going cheap now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnergoz Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Yes, Win 7 is a winner, but I have absolutely no interest in Win 8. I may have to hang on to 7 as long as I did XP... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stalins Organ Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Win 8 apparently uses Win 7 as it's "engine" - it is essentially a new UI. However...back to hte topic in hand - after many delays, and some sunshine herein Wellington, I have finally started playing. I LOVE IT!! OK - so there are some obvious differences and some things could be better - I used to love the tension of just getting the squad off the lander in one piece - that's gone And I think I prefer the previous system for loading troops with weapons & gadgetry - only 1 grenade?? And if the electro-shock thingie is a side arm why can't it replace the pistol? Apparently a rocket launcher can replace a pistol - but a souped up cattle prod can't?? What is with that? And I probably prefer the old geoscape too. But the feel, the tension, the "will I move or will I shoot?" - it is fantastic IMO. I do not miss TU's (Time units) at all. I do miss cannon though (both auto and heavy) - although the rocket launcher makes a most satisfying bang Get's an "A" from me. If the caveats above weren't there then an A+ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
