XCOM - Interceptor Probe Bug

Replicants
Has anyone else seen this? When playing Xcom interceptor under Win2K, some missions are destroy a probe or base. Only when getting there the probe is always at your 6'olock ( if stopping and turning around its still dead centre in your rear radar) The rest of the game runs fine.

Lazy Game Programmers.

DavidNewbould
May i start my rant in regards to Serious Sam: I installed it, and it ran really badly on my rig. (Which gets 50-60fps in CS) I turned all the texture detail, resolution etc down, and it still ran badly.

What's your opinion?

panzer
For all you gamers out there, I'm trying to get a feel for what everyone thinks about gaming in Win2k. I got my hands on a copy and am wondering if I should install it at all, after hearing about compatibility problems.
