Windows / Re: Trouble starting 2.2

Actually that is what step I'm doing when I get the error. Is there a specific place I should put the file before I expand it?

Found a FIX

Short tutorial:

1. U need catalyst drivers installiation package <=7.9
2. Start it, and dont press any buttons and dont' install it (u just need some file that will be unpacked )
3. Go to c:\ATI\SUPPORT\7-8_xp32_dd_50960\Driver\XP_INF\B_51322\ (example for 7.8 )
4. Copy atioglxx.dl_ to another directory
5. Use in cmd.exe this command:

expand atioglxx.dl_ atioglxx.dll


6. Copy atioglxx.dll to UFO directory
7. Enjoy

Tested by me on 7.12 and 8.1

What exactly do u mean by copy to another directory?

I have been playing this game for a while and have played 2.2 several times. Today I started it up and got this in the initial box:

Shutdown


I have played this game before on this computer and the only change I made since last time is I updated my video driver. Do I need to reinstall the game or is my situation hopeless as long as I have the current video driver?

Discussion / Re: Building extra labs and workshops - is there a point in 2.1?

« on: January 05, 2008, 09:03:17 pm »

Let me guess, you can only hire 19 scientists? You have to scroll down with the mousewheel to see additional scientist for hire. As for building more workshops and labs, I don't think there is a point yet.

Discussion / Are you serious?

Well first of all, sorry for what you perceived to be my attitude. I thought appeased was better than satisfied. I guess I thought wrong. Anyway, the only shotguns I had found (yes I did some research) were prototypes and none of them had fully auto or 3 round burst.  I was under the false presumption that you did it with little research. I was obviously wrong. Once again I am very sorry. I love the game btw.

P.S. You can delete this thread now if you want.

How come the riot shotgun has 3 round burst and full auto and why does the micro shotgun have a 3 round burst? I liked it before when the riot shotgun had single and double shot. It was more realistic that way. I mean, how many shotguns do you know that are fully auto or have 3 round bursts. If you can show me some examples, I'll be appeased.

Feature Requests / Alternate Stun Method

« on: May 22, 2007, 11:46:58 pm »

The Stun Rod is OK and serves its purpose. The stun grenade is good too. What is missing? A stun grenade launcher or, at the very least, a stun grenade for the grenade launcher. I think this would be a great use of the grenade launcher and a lot less painful. It would have to be a step or so further than stun grenades are.

Design / Stun Rod

I would like to add on that the Stun Rod is a pain in the butt to equip. You should consider scaling it down.

I don't understand where you're going with this.

I always thought the original scientists were pretty dense. "Must find out how to load clip into plasma. *INSERTS CLIP* Breakthrough! Breakthrough!" I could understand the stun gun and blaster launcher but a plasma gun that looks just like human guns, please!

Just reminiscing.

Feature Requests / Alien Disappearing Act

« on: April 25, 2007, 11:16:58 pm »

When playing with aliens (Just checking em out) I noticed when you put  alien armor on your Shevaar it makes them invisible on you assign soldiers, Hire/Fire employees, equip soldiers, and in the mission they are purple boxes with the gun sticking out. Whenever you click on them or when the mission starts, it says can't find 'aliens/shevaarmedium/head01'
I am sorry if this has already been brought up but I couldn't find any other topic on it and I wanted to bring it to your attention.

AWESOME GAME BTW!!!
