Hey there,

I first had some sound problems but they vanished when setting the "-"-something rate to above 40k both for sbpro and some mixer ...

I have dosbox0.73 and everything was fine till I tried to colonize my first planet (actually the moon circeling around NewEarth) than the graphic looked like seeing it through a waterfall and after some 30 seconds there were some buttons I could see through the water ... really strange (sorry I cant describe it better) ... this behaviour started again when I looked at the surface screen of my colony - does anybody has some advise how to handle this - or should I add some information????

Thank in advance for all who are trying to helb

Playing windowed or fullscreen?
Is output set to Overlay, Ddraw or left on the default Surface?

ok,

- windowed (but worked fine till that point)

fullscreen=false
fulldouble=true
fullresolution=1024x600
windowresolution=original
output=surface
autolock=true
sensitivity=100
waitonerror=true
priority=higher,normal
mapperfile=mapper.txt
usescancodes=true

- I tried fullscreen now, and the problem did not occure again also the game froze after 10 minutes when I entered some build menue

**** Thanks for the fullscreen idea which I only had because you were asking for it

**** so another question: what can one do to make a game less often crash are there some general things to do
**** what can I do to have the DOSscreen rescaled proportional in fullscreen? (my monito originally has 1680x1050 resoltion)

(maybe I should use another forum/topic for these questions)

Try to do the normal(?) mount:

mount c d:\spiele
c:

And launch your game from there (the C:\ prompt) with a
cd reunion

That you already have a C in windows doesn't matter at all, attribued drive letters in dosbox have nothing, but really nothing, to see with your windows drive letters.

The usual mount letters are:
-> C for virtual C:
-> D for the CD drive or CD image mount (eventually)

ok, seems to work fine now


... but d**** f****** morgruls destroyed my planet ...
