Hello, I am writing with some questions regarding an issue that I have when opening OpenXcom Extended.
I am new to playing Xcom, though have seen some fun playthroughs on youtube which got me interested in the game, and the fact that it's one of the games that my old desktop computer will run without having a fit. I recently bought and downloaded Xcom - UFO Defence and looked around for how to play it via OpenXcom. I subsequently downloaded OpenXcom and had some fun playing it. I heard of the X-com Files and they also sounded pretty interesting, so I looked to download them and the 40K mod I found later, but I also found that I needed OpenXcom Extended and, while reading about it, got the impression that it was a good way to play the vanilla game with the additions that it gave.
I downloaded OXCE and, thanks to the excellent videos by ohartenstein23 and Ivan Dogovich, was able to get things in order with regards to files and where they should go. I also then realised that there was a post here saying how OXCE and OpenXcom shouldn't be mixed together, so I deleted OpenXcom.
Now for my help question. When I started up the exe for OXCE, without my headphones plugged in, I got a message saying 'no sound detected' on the window, so after some looking around I realised I needed to plug in. Having done that, I again clicked on it, and the window came up, but I just had a box saying that 'OpenXcom Extended has stopped working'. I've included the images as files attached.
I would really appreciate some assistance here, please, I don't usually play computer games so I'm a bit lost as to what could've gone awry.
The first image attached is a photo of the text displayed when my headphones are not plugged in, the second is what happens when they are.
