Oh, researching Plasma Tech doesn't trigger the next tech/alien era, researching Heavy Plasma does.<br/>

Once you meet the next era, you're going to die so badly. The difficulty really spikes ...

I thought I'd go ahead and get mind shields cause I was ahead and about to fire most of my salaried workers. So now I have enough mind shields for 12 but can't figure out how to use them. Looks like they go on your head but there is no slot ...

Please figure out a way to add a AP cost for accessing/moving stuff around in your inventory.

Apparently that triggers an event that causes the higher tier aliens to arrive with the next level of weaponry.

<t> Research, but don't manufacture the Laser Pistol/Rifle/Heavy.<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
Not worth it, as you have to keep continually manufacturing ammunition for them. Your Mechanics are better off spending their time making other stuff.<br/>

Rifles work almost just as well, and cost ...

<t> You know I realised that without the Aliens chucking Alien Grenades/Sonic Pulars left and right at you like in X-COM 1 & 2, they're just not really difficult to beat this time round.<br/>

The only aliens I'm having trouble with ATM are the Volons. Takes multiple Laser Rifle hits to ...

This seems awfully familiar.

Let's be honest everyone, while Xcom is a bonafide classic, the game was not that difficult to beat. We like it for the tactical missions, but overall it did not take long to master even the most difficult settings (though the Alien hoards ...

Ya they drop like a brick

Its just highly annoying when they panick your soldiers, especially when one of them is in view of another alien you failed to gun down on your previous turn.

Get that Mind Shield

PSI Attacks sucks ass

I'm confused. If soldiers can't die, why is there a "Units Lost" section of the Mission recap screen? The screenshot in the manual even has units listed there.

If either all your units die in a mission, or ...

<r> Yes you can sell Alien Artifacts, though only for a very small fraction of the price.<br/>

You have to research it first in order to sell for its full value.<br/>

And note, you don't start off with an Interigation Room. Learned it the hard way when I went around ...

Same thing is happening with me. I can't move weapons around without the game crashing on me.

Disabled Anti-Aliasing as well.

Problem Solved: The error does not occur in Full Screen Mode, only in Windows Mode.

<r> I just fixed the problem.<br/>
<br/>
The problem was that my Windows Regional and Language Options was set to Japanese (I need it in order to play Japanese games). I switched it to English (United States) and rebooted, and the game worked fine.<br/>
<br/>
I highly recommend putting this info ...

How do you turn anti-aliasing off?

And no, I don't think the game generated any 'crash' text files in the installation folder.

Update: Just installed the latest ATI drivers, used cccleaner to clear out stuff. Rebooted. Still doesn't work.

And here's the error log:

Just a note: I installed the Russian version of the game as well a couple days ago and still got the same error message.

Here's my DXDiag file:

I somehow lost 6GB of space after the final install + deleting the download. I had to abort the install multiple times due to the corrupt de-compression part way.

Any idea where the missing HD space went to?
