If you can don't restart the download manager... or find somebody who has the uncorrupted files.

This info came from brave_sir, whom I owe a drink This doesn't seem to work for everyone, but it works for me. _________________ Check out the new UFO:ET forum at ufo-scene.com

This is an easy fix. Just google the name of the dll, download it, and copy into the Windows/System directory. This piece of advice was brought to you by...well me. umm..see the first post,where Krasny claimed this tip first _________________ Fight Spam! Click Here!

Although, if a soldier encounter an alien, camera will center on him. 1) backup and open soldiers.xscr 2) find the line 200 3) replace Code:                bool center = true; by Code:                bool center = false;

If you have a ATI and have AA on, then turning AA off 90% of the time will cure the CTD, you will not be missing anything as the AA is not working in the game anyway.

There are only two mod stickies, I've resisted creating a third. Ideally there should be seperate forums. Anyway, the reason I de-stickified this was because it doesn't strike me as being necessary any more. Feel free to re-sticky if you want (you are a mod too after all). I think I'll de-sticky the integrated graphics one now too. We really need a couple more forums.

We really need a couple more forums. i thought the same about the integrated graphics one,but thought it might piss someone off to do it without saying something. generaly stickies are to save people forum searching for popular problems. go by read count,it shows the interest level,and keeps the place clear of the same questions. need a mod section...badly,and emailed asking for one,but guessing they are deep into patching. also need a tech help section. _________________ Fight Spam!
