My biggest issue I have with that review was his focus on the bugs. I have been playing UFO:ET on 2 different systems without issue since it came out. One system being a Vista rig. I have no idea what pos rig he was using but something is not ...

RE: Silent Storm engine, why not?

<t> There's no easy way to know how easy the engine is modify. Since you'd have to add in the geoscape, research, base building, and alter soldier growth, trying to shoehorn all that into the engine may not be feasible.<br/>

A shame really. I too had no problems running the game and had a ...

RE: Soldiers Injuries

<t> One quirk is that if you heal up the wounds on the same turn as they were received, there's no hospital stay. The stress is on the SAME turn. This means this only really applies when you get wounded by reaction fire and can get a medic to the wounded unit since you can't use a medkit during the ...

RE: Question/Observation

<t> I think the hindering issue is that UFOs seem to be immune from environmental damage. I've yet to be able to make a new entrance in a more convenient location when I get impatient doing a lap around the craft. Without the ability to be, er, feng shuied by repeated laser, plasma, and explosive ...

RE: Not really a AAR, just some of what been going on

<t> I'm curious, how'd that chem gun work out for you? I've got some soldiers strong enough to use that and the flamethrower now and given how much I used incendiary autocannon rounds in X-Com it's quite tempting, but I've been getting good mileage out of my laser rifles while being unimpressed with ...

RE: Second Run-Through

<t> Not knowing exactly what you're trying to sell until you research it complicates things. If you don't know what lines of research identify some of the stuff you loot, you don't know what exactly you can sell off.<br/>

Crashes when throwing grenades

I've gotten a few crashes to desktop when throwing grenades.

I've attached the dxdiag file. Not sure what file you're looking for when the crash file is mentioned though.

RE: Camera scroll stuttering

<t> A bit of clarification and more testing.&nbsp; The stuttering only occurs when the camera tries to move without player input, so only really when trying to autocenter on moving units and soldiers.&nbsp; Scrolling around the tactical map is fine.<br/>

Camera scroll stuttering

<t> Downloaded it, loaded it up, managed to get my tank destroyed already in my first combat mission.<br/>
<br/>
Throughout it all, anytime the camera scrolls (following a bullet, auto centering on a soldier moving) the screen stutters. I've tried disabling AA and texture compression and ...
