Checked.
Abandonia version, one test with official DOSBox 0.74, second with Ykwong build.
Default (3000) cycles, Sound Blaster and Adlib was selected consequently, just in case. And mouse of course.
After intro, game starts TOS.EXE, and everything appears in several seconds.
(Actually, direct TOS.EXE start works the same, only without intro).
Tried direct start (drag-n-drop file on DOSBox), tried "proper" one (mounting games, cd darkseed, ds). No difference.
Tried insane amount of cycles (everything became much smoother, but otherwise works right).
*shrugs* Seems, I am doing something wrong.
What's the problem, exactly?
