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.
Possible fixes include:
- Extracting folders from
cd.iso
and placing them in the X-Com folder.[1]
- Using a later version of DOSBox (0.74, Steam uses 0.72). Easiest way is to copy the DOSBox.exe into the x-com apocalypse SteamApps folder and rename to 'dosbox.exe'
- Disable CD check using this (be sure you performed the first fix first before attempting this one).
