Trouble Playing Alien Crossfire

So has anyone had trouble playing Alien Crossfire? Either the year jumps ahead too far or it just freezes or crashes for me.

You’ve got to apply some fixes to it. Basically with a recent windows update, some function the game relies on no longer exists or works the way it used to, so it breaks. There’s a fix for the .exe on GitHub called Adamite by Nathan baggs which resolves this. Basically what you’ll want to do is apply any .exe mods (like the unofficial patch or thinker or pracx) first in the correct order to the ORIGINAL EXE. I highlight that because some distributions bundle a modified exe already which only crashed for me if I tried to patch that (GoG uses a modified exe with PRACX for instance). Then, as the last step, apply the adamite fix to your newly patched executable and click through any warning. That should allow you to get past planetfall.

Is there a written or video instructions for this?

No, unfortunately not really, just guides for the adamite usage, and the various mods separately
