And please, where can I find a tech tree?

3/ tech tree: press Q in geoscape

In OXC the ships on geoscape just moved quicker, when time was accelerated.

can you describe a bit more... nobody ever complained about ships moving too slow... could you maybe make a video so that we can see it?

can you attach a save, from just before you accelerate time and ships start to stutter?

are you sure you are plaing OXCE+? in OXC there was this options "Predict UFO trajectory", which made the game very slow... but it has been removed from OXCE+

Ok, for the stuttering please use that link:

Maybe I`m wrong, but I tend to remember, that accelerating time resulted just in quicker movemoent of the ships, not those "jumps" of the ship.


Another thing: Bad rating at months end "Terrible":
I had to restart the game now 4 times on ironman (Beginner). In the last time i got a terrible rating in one month, then screwing a 350 points mission in the second but winning 750 points.
Now I`m confused, why I got a rating of -2000 points in the second month two! This prevents me from trying a 5th time. I lost hours of gameplay.

Also: Game keeps crashing, when I play via the OpenXcomEx.exe and loading that savegame, and finish reading the end-rating. Problem doesn`t occur, when using the normal green exe.

[Meridian]

1/ Yeah, that's definitely not normal, it clearly stutters... I couldn't reproduce it on my PC... can someone else try if they experience it too?

2/ I have also loaded that ironman save, read the defeat-rating, but no crash afterwards. Can someone else try to reproduce please?

And new bugs:
Triton trying to engange a USO, what shouldn`t happen. Can`t leave the interception-window.

How I installed that mod:
1. unpacked the mod into the game folder
2. replaced the options.cfg in c:/user/documents/OXC
3. started with Openxcomex.exe

[Meridian]

I don't know what your "game folder" is... but please DO NOT use anything from OXC... it will create conflicts and crashes.

The mod comes with a compatible OXCE+ installation included.
Just extract the mod on your desktop, copy original TFTD data files and run... OXC is not required, nor desired.
OXCE+ comes with the mod... you can upgrade it if you want, but don't have to.

And new bugs:
Triton trying to engange a USO, what shouldn`t happen. Can`t leave the interception-window.

This is not a bug... it's a new feature
You have been attacked by a UFO hunter-killer... UFOs can now also attack your ships...

Is TFTD-OXCE standalone?

I unzipped the data into my OXC - Folder.

Should I take a clean folder?
What data from original-TFTD should I copy exactly?

1/ there is no such thing as TFTD-OXCE

2/ yes, OXCE+ is standalone

3/ yes, clean folder installation is recommended

4/ same TFTD data is required as for OXC (as written in the readme.txt, pasted below)

Code: [Select]

Copy all the X-COM: Terror From the Deep subfolders to this directory!

If you can't write to this directory, you can also create a TFTD folder in your
user folder (where your OpenXcom savegames are) and copy your TFTD subfolders
there.

After the copy, this directory should contain at least the following items:
  ANIMS*
  FLOP_INT*
  GEODATA
  GEOGRAPH
  MAPS
  ROUTES
  SOUND
  TERRAIN
  UFOGRAPH
  UNITS
*optional

If you want to import your old games, copy the GAME_* folders to the
directory where your OpenXcom saves are.

2/ I have also loaded that ironman save, read the defeat-rating, but no crash afterwards. Can someone else try to reproduce please?

Tried the save on the latest TWoTS/OXCE+ (v.2.13/2018-06-20). The game loaded, showed the Missing Mods warning, displayed the defeat screen, and then crashed with the Corrupt state: Unknown original UFO destination error message. Screenshot attached.

Thanks, I fixed that 3 days ago, that's why it didn't show up when I tried.
I will release the fix soon.

Checked the issue as well. It is obviously related to the configuration file provided with the mod. If the game is running with the provided settings, it stutters heavily. As long as I place the mod to the same installation as X-Com Files or just remove the Nord's default configuration file from the user folder, stuttering disappears, though I didn't check what exactly provokes such game behavior.

[LouisdeFuines]

Ok, did a new clean install.

Stuttering of flying subs remains.

OK, perfect... now when we can reproduce, I will be able to find out what it is... many thanks.

[LouisdeFuines]

When the Usos can now attack my subs too? What defense against this is meant to be?

Lost 2 Tritons to this great "feature". A lone Triton seems helpless...

And to the bad rating:
It remains a mystery. I have "good" months, but the game gives me bad ratings...
Or is OXCE+ harder then vanilla?
