Title: Trouble Installing Game
Post by: TheMayz on February 22, 2018, 04:39:18 am

Hi Guys. Sorry for a newb question.

I have downloaded the file named OpenXcom-master. I have the steam version of TFTD, and have verified it is updated. A site I am looking at says the OpenXcom will detect and install it while I have the actual TFTD. I cannot find an installer that will open. It looks like I may need another program.

I also tried copying the entire TFTD folder into the BIN folder on OpenXcom, but the game did not load.

Please advise and I appreciate all your help! This is the best game ever created and want to play it again!

You have downloaded the source files for the engine, not the actual game itself; they won't help you unless you can compile them yourself. What you need is the compiled game, available here on the website  (https://openxcom.org/git-builds/) - download the latest .exe file for the installer.
