Thanks for the good words, all - just downloaded the patch, and will give it a shot shortly...   haven't tried for the 2.4 version yet - not overly worried about lack of save game compatability; I'm still learning as I go and I'll just start a new game with the newer version...    As far as the CTD, yeah, I should have put more info on there...     my apologies!

Ah, thanks much....     that should help; I didnt think to look for them as separate installations.

A question from a brand new player (so my apologies if it should be obvious...)  - to store UFO's, do I build my own empty hanger, or is there a specific 'UFO Yard' that becomes available for build after some research effort?

edit in an effort not to create too many new 'new questions' threads:

1) I have had several embarks into tactical battles, where I can't cross terrain (and one, in a city terror zone, where 6 out of my 8 guys would not leave the transport...)  Is there a known bug I'm not aware of with impassible terrain, or leaving your embark area?

2) It appears that the stuff I can produce (in my workshop) actually costs the same as purchasing it, and the purchased item shows up immediately (as opposed to awaiting a production time...) So, other than the yet-unseen possibility of an item you need that isn't available for purchase, what's the point of production if it costs the same as buying the same stuff?

3) Is there an easy way to set the game to run full screen?

4) I've had a couple of random crashes to desktop (version 2.3.1) - is this known to be a little unstabe, or is it just my system?
