Hi, Just found this game and from the screenshots it looks great, can't comment on anything else because I can't play it. Downloaded the demo version put up on kickstarter to give it a try. Unpacked it and ran the main program and no matter which option I go for (full demo or quick battle) all I see after starting the main game is a black Geoscape with a sign saying select your base, after I click okay on the dialogue box I see "geoscape loading" and nothing else. I've tried changing the game resolution to lower settings and that didn't help. My DX is up to date same as my graphics drivers. Running Windows XP SP3 with DX9, ATI 4500 GFX, AMD 3500+ cpu, 2GB ram, plenty of drive space. Any ideas how I can get this game working so I can try it out? Currently playing UFO:AI which is the closest I've found so far to the original UFO games, although it's a little less polished (judging from screen shots of this game) it's stable enough in it's latest build (2.4) to be playable for hours. The downsides to it is not being able to save mid-mission and also save games being incompatible with each release forcing you to start over again. Plus how finicky the countries can be quite early on in the game which removes their funding and can also lead to a failed mission scenario quite quickly. Also having to store UFO's, research different parts, then dismantling them to get UFO tech to research and use on your own built vehicles (too much research for one thing and can be super slow).
