Hi, there are so many mods out there, I have been wondering which to install and in what order, to get my game modified?

I actually have 3 problems: 1. The scroll speed is far too fast, even when I set scroll speed to 1. What mods or methods should I use to make EU playable? (TFTD seems to work just fine for some reason) 2. I'd like to try avoiding the game crashing every now and then bug. 3. I would like to avoid the base disjoint bug. I can avoid this by using XcomUtils RunXcom.bat, but then the speed automatically goes too fast. Sigh. Jasonred 18:55, 10 May 2011 (EDT)

For 1. and 3. use Ufo Extender, open Ufo Extender.ini in editor and set Tactical Scroll=1 and Base Disjoint=1 in the Bug fix section. You may find other bugfixes useful as well. For 2. there is no obvious help other than saving a lot. --kyrub 21:05, 10 May 2011 (EDT)

Wowee. Thanks. I'll give it a shot, hopefully it doesn't conflict with Xcumutil or something. BTW, does anyone know whether the Steam version crashes? Or did they introduce the fix they found for TFTD?
Edit: Darnit, just tried it out and UFO Extender seems to have garbled graphics during the intro, geoscape, etc etc. Sigh. And, yes, I did change Video Pitch=1.
Edit: Weird. It appears that running the game without any loader at all seems to result in working graphics, but using Extender garbles the graphics. How strange...
Edit: Also. xcomutil refuses to be compliant with ufo extender. huh. Jasonred 21:27, 10 May 2011 (EDT)
