The Veteran Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 After using the most recent Apocalypse fixes from this site UI thought I finally had it working again. There was no sound but the mouse was working and the game was running at it's normal speed... All in all I was fairly chuffed.Now at the time I fixed the game, I wasn't playing it so I didn't test it at all... Until today. I now find that all scrolling in the game is restricted to up down and right. If I take the cursor to the left side of the screen, my view judders and jerks to the right until I move the cursor away from the side.Another problem, and the only other I've found, is that the game crashes in the tactical screen (a CoS raid in this case). It's not a one off as I've been anable to complete the mission since I started playing earlier today. I don't notice any trigger for it but the game simply goes to a black screen before returning to Windows, denying that the game ever existed... Any ideas guys?

Strong Bob Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 Looks like Apocalypse is just a load of problems these days. The fixes I downloaded didn't affect my copy in the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonHawk Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 Hey Veteran, I usually get the same thing on the tactical if I don't use the SVGA patch on the site here. Do all missions not work, or just that CoS one? As for the side scrolling thing, I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Veteran Posted May 19, 2003 Author Share Posted May 19, 2003 I'm using the keypad to scroll so that doesn't really bother me. As far as I know it's only the CoS one but I'd guess if I tried a different mission it would still happen. I'm sure I was using the patch... I downloaded it a while ago.

HCallahan Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 I'm having problems too with my mouse in Apoc. Whenever I scroll to the left, it moves the screen right and it goes down when I move the mouse up. Its extremly annoying. Although the arrow keys work, I learned Apoc with the mouse. Would appreciate it if anyone knew how I could fix this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonHawk Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 lol, ok, I tihnk it's time to wait for UFO Aftermath to come out... The games sound sorta corrupt... bevan, message Kitat Chung, he had a problem very similar to yours, and he got rid of it somehow. heh, if you have time, come back and let us know what it is. Veteran, could you try it in another mission? Maybe it's just a problem with the CoS map? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butchdogt1234 Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 I had the problem with the alien dimension and I fixed it. It is caused by two missing maps named 59alien1 and 60alien2.

Ki-tat Chung Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 my sincre apologies DH but i never got it fized...when i installed apoc on my "good pc (300Mhz PII 124 mB ram 4mb onboard video, onboard sound etc, etc...), i can't run it cuz of a SVGA error. i install the patch and whenever i enter any tactical battle, it freezes. black screen. no bsod or ctrl+alt+del for me, so siree, its a reset for me! (hey, that sorta rymes! )btw, sound may not be working because of DMA/IRC conflicts etc. because in dos, or atleast what i was told, the ICQ/DMA (i forget which) was limited to however many numbers, and when win9x came out, it was extended so the newer sound cards/chips may not work with dos games. i know mine doesn't or atleast midi won't. someone please correst me if im wrong...
