Windows / Re: Freeze on Battlescape

« on: June 23, 2010, 11:04:58 am »

Update on this... I've been able to get it to work by doing the following:

-setting texture levels back to the default ("high" on mine... I had bumped them up to "excellent")
-disabling GLSL
-disabling realtime lighting
-not setting it to "fullscreen"

Can now play, but the windowed mode is kind of distracting

I've been having the same problem: The entire game freezes on the the battle loading screen at the point where it says "Awaiting Game Start (0)".

Here's my ufoconsole.log:

I'm actually inclined to disagree about the voices... I personally don't think the intro needs dialogue at all, whether spoken or text.  As long as you had good music and a well-edited sequence, you can tell the basic story pretty effectively with just visuals.

Any chance of adding a link to the new "base" model in the first post when it's finished?  I was thinking of trying my hand at some armors but I want to make sure I'm working from the right template.
