Issues fixed
X-COM asks for CD
- The Steam version sometimes asks you to insert the CD into the drive. When it does so, the game can't be resumed.
Extract folders from cd.iso and place them in the X-Com folder[1]
|
---|
|
Use a later version of DOSBox (0.74, Steam uses 0.72)[3] |
---|
|
Disable CD check using this, this or this[4][5] |
---|
|
Choppy Cutscenes
Exactly like it sounds, cutscene playback is poor.
Use DOS32A[citation needed] |
---|
Bind it to SMKP.EXE with the following command: |
Replace the builtin player[6] |
---|
Use this patch from StrategyCore user Bomb Bloke.
|
Black screen on startup

Game hangs after entering the Alien Dimension
Certain versions of the game shipped without the map files for the Alien Dimension. They can be downloaded here.
