Try using VDMSound instead. Apocalypse lags horribly on DosBox.

It says .DLL file loaded sucessfully... and then it does nothing. Have tried a variety of other combinations of files and such, but I cant access the game. Am I still supposed to run it trough dosbox after starting vdms_apoc? Anyone give me a guide? Have tried to read through the pages here, but I can only find peeps who said the made it work. |

Right-click on the executable and choose "run with VDMSound" from the context menu.
Alternatively, use the command line (Windows XP has it somwhere under Accesories tab in the Start menu) to enter the game's directory, type in DOSDRV and then the name of the game's executable. That worked for me.

tried it on every executable I can find.
On xcomapoc, it launches a dos window, and tries to load a .dll file. Then, nothing happens. on vdms_apoc, it loads the .dll file sucessfully, but then stops doing anything after. |

OK, so that doesn't work.
Go into the command line window and do what I said in the last post - enter the games' directory, use DOSDRV command and then run the game executable.

Maybe your game is corrupt.
Try a different copy.

Increase the cycles as high as your machine can handle.
You might want to experiment with CORE=FULL and CORE=DYNAMIC to allow for higher cycles. However, with CORE=DYNAMIC DosBox becomes less stable and might be prone to crashes.
