Title: Help getting Openxcom installed
Post by: Parental Advisory on November 02, 2012, 12:11:47 am

Each time I install it and try to play it this comes up in a DOS window:

"ERROR:
Failed to load palette

Can't find a required X-Com data file.
Make sure you installed OpenXcom
correctly.

Check the README for more details."

I've read the README, but where am I to find a version of X-COM: UFO Defense?

Well you can buy it. It is availible via steam.
Maybe other places too.

just be sure to install the latest git build from https://openxcom.org/index.php/downloads/git-builds/ (https://openxcom.org/index.php/downloads/git-builds/), if you want the most recent (most complete) experience. V0.4 is known to have several issues that have been fixed in the meantime... :)
