Hello

I have searched for a patch that makes the original game bug free. I know about openxcom but I just want the original game. Anybody have have link?

Thanks for the answer.
Is the difficulty bug fixed?

ahh i see
well hate to say the difficulty isn't a bug its the way the game was designed
its meant to be nasty nail your butt to the wall experience

there are a fe things you can do to lessen it, save scumming, hex editing,
save editors if you can find one and can get it to work which may take palying around with dosbox a bit

No I mean that the game resets to the easiest difficult setting after you have saved the game or something like that. So all difficulties are the same. I guess that is probably fixed.

oh tha one, sorry XD
i heard that that was an issue with the dos version ,
but i hope its either fixed ro the version we get from gog is based off the
windows version instead of dos version

If you want to experience the game as close to original as possible while still circumventing the difficulty bug I would suggest XComUtil. It makes some extremely minor tweaks and includes some mods that you can opt out of during installation.

Perfect! Just what I needed.

For what it's worth, the GOG release has the difficulty bug fixed for Enemy Unknown /UFO Defence. So you don't have to use XComutil unless you want to make use of its various mod-cons.

For TFTD, to preserve your sanity when playing the two-part missions (of which there will be plenty), I highly recommend that you avoid XComutil.

I know it's contrary to popular opinion, but a well meaning fix by XComutil may occasionally leave you without your ammo when you move to the second half of a two part mission. The bane of a number of Youtube TFTD LPs.
