arete Your syntax could be a little iffy. Try dragging-and-dropping the main .bat file directly onto a DOSbox shortcut.

Also, perhaps your clockspeed settings in DOSbox are wrong? It can be a number of factors. If nothing works, try the VOGONS forum or the tutorial on www.DOSbox.com

EDIT: oh, sorry

Help with this game on Win 8

I have dosbox .70 and .74 installed on my windows 8 Dell XPS.

Whenever I try to run this game with 'maindos' in dosbox it hangs on the 'loading' screen as in the case above, with strange noises. I have tried both versions of dosbox (tried .70 because that is what is listed as supported), have tried the 3dfx version (does nothing).

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I only run the following commands:

mount c e:\dosbox (this is where my IGNITION folder is)
mount d d:\ (my dvd drive)

Please help, thanks!

Maxaxle I am going to RAGE, I turned off Compatibility Mode and that fixed the crashing problem.


EDIT: Alright, so that didn't fix everything; it still can't handle Championships all that well (works 40% of the time at best). And @Dosraider: call me an ubernoob, but I couldn't figure out what you meant/wanted. There was very little under the Audio menu, I don't know what you meant by my mount lines (I said something about this earlier), and deleting my game directory solved nothing.

The dosversion (didn't test the Win version) is indeed ready to run in dosbox, no install needed. Sound and all are fine.
As you even can't answer two simple questions, have fun, I'm outta here, bye bye.

Maxaxle I'm using version 0.74, the setup only attempts to install vanilla/uncracked Ignition (it fails because I have a higher version of DirectX), I'll try messing with settings, and reinstalling it.

EDIT 1: Changed all graphics settings to minimum under MAINDOS, and now IGN_WIN crashes when I go into Settings>Graphics. DOSBox now crashes with the LOADING screen, and I had to power the laptop down manually. Attempting to run MAINDOS and IGN_WIN under Windows...

EDIT 2: Running MAINDOS and IGN_WIN under 320X240 just causes them to crash 90% of the time, so I switched it back to 640X480. Changing other graphics settings doesn't help at all, and DOSBox still refuses to load Ignition. Reinstalling...
