Troubleshooting / Re: game display goes screwy and dont know why
« on: November 13, 2013, 07:03:11 am »
thank you for helping me.
I love x-com and what you told me about the advice fixed it and as for a screenshot theres a picture of a globe that's all screwey colors talking about half of Africa missing on steam xcom section.
hope that helps because I got to fed up with my mouse not scrolling.instead it would take me always like 3-6 times moving it to border of screen to make it scroll.i therefore abandon the openxcom and just went back to regular steam version.
I had also tried using xcom loader and xcomutil at same time and after getting them to work together the game would bug and cause all the country and city names to disappear.
after all this modding for 5 days but still having issues I figured id just play the steam version with no mods because it  seems to have much less bugginess to it.
id love to have all these neat little game upgrades like currency view in geoscape and good pre-built base but I want to play without bugginess more.
I credit you on trying this tho and maybe in another 5 yrs since ive been playing this for 15 and have spent at least 300$ on just xcom games including collector editions and ps versions for my console. even going so far as to custom order the ps3 that plays ps2 and ps1 games straight from japan just so I could still play my xcom.
in a few years when this build is much more stable and I install it and use it for a full game ill kick you down 20 or 30 bucks.
your work is not in vain an im sure someday I will use it for a full game and then ill pay you all with a tidy donation for your efforts.

thank you very much for all the support you gave me in the forums
sincerely
George

ps- I moved and lost a lot of stuff in shipping and now im on a nice Toshiba win 7 amd vision laptop so that's why im starting over ;)

I don't understand it.
I looked in that place you told me and found the screenshots.
there was like 40 of them and I know I pushed the key when the game was all L.S.D hallucinogenic looking but the screenshots all show up normal.
what could be causing this?
maybe my display setting is wrong?
also when it does it and I leave out of whatever area its doing it in like go back to base screen or geoscape from battle it reverts to normal and it does it in every area.
first time it occurred was when I was fixing the game options.
it has to be either the display setting or that graphic hqx pixel setting underneath the display option or whatever its called.
is there a place where I can get info on what 2 settings to use?
1 for the proper display setting and 1 for the proper hqx pixel thingy setting?

thank you
George

p.s-sorry I didn't attach a screenshot but they all came out normal for some reason so I figured that wont help at all but since that did happen maybe it gives somebody a clue as to what is really happening.

just watched skyfall.
pretty good flick.
I downloaded latest nightly build but since it didn't ask to overwrite anything when I extracted it to openxcom folder I checked and it either made a new folder called the same thing or theres another file named exactly the same thing in the openxcom folder called openxcom as well.
exactly the same file name.
what do I do?
im going to go try and get that screen shot now.

thank you

im thinking that this is something to do with the pixel graphics chooser that doesn't say what each type is for so ill still post it but thanks for the heads up on the nightly build.
ill definitely do that as soon as I get the screenshot.
might be a while though since my roomy wants the comp to watch skyfall on Netflix.
thanks for all the help tonight.
I guess ill see you all tomorrow.

thank you

I googled it and it says use the print screen button but I don't have a print screen button.
please help me so I can try to play.
I spent 2 days getting ufoextender and xcomutil to work together and then it bugged and doesn't display the names on locations on the geoscape so im trying openxcom.
I really want to play.
please help.

sincerely

you didn't tell me how to make a screenshot.
theres a prtsc on the end key in the numpad but I did that and nothing happened.
please this time tell me how to make a screenshot like I asked so I don't waste 15 min. trying to make one with no instructions how which is why I asked how in the first place.

thank you

This looks great but when im playing it suddenly goes all lsd look on me.
I cant figure out why.
is it my display setting or the filter type and if so what setting should I use?
im running windows 7 premium.
do you need more comp information or is this enough?
if you need more information please tell me how to get a record of my dxdiag box and post it here.
ive heard of people doing that in the forums looking for an answer but I don't know how myself.
please help this looks great to play with all the new options.
ive been playing x-com since 94 when I beat it on a friends comp.

thankyou
sincerely
george :)
