I downloaded lord of the realms from this site but the game freezes/ hangs in the screen after I filled in my name.
My computer works on WinXP I use Dosbox 0.65, with and without dosbox the game freezes at the same screen. Can anybody help me with this problem? |

When running the game in DosBox, did you do anything with the soundcard settings?
I think the filename is "setup" or "install". Run it, and input the following values: Sound Blaster 16 Adress 220h IRQ 7 DMA 1 |

Following your advice I have run setup.exe, in dosbox after selecting soundblaster (no sb16 option available) the setup finishes, no questions about adress/dma/irq etc, when i run the game its starts better, even with music but it still freezes in the same screen with the music playing. I also run setup in windows but then the setup stays in a loop asking for adress/dma/irq extra info when i start up dosbox i get this info blaster a220 I7 D1 H5 T6 ultrasnd 240 3 3 5 5 edit: before running the setup.exe the default name is "sir shrek", after running the setup.exe the default name is "player1" |

Well, that is strange... :blink:
I just downloaded and tried it in both ways - with and without DOSBox and it runs fine both ways... In fact, when you configure it through DOSBox (by running SETUP.EXE), when you choose the Soundblaster it won't ask you for the parameters. Since DOSBox also emulates Adlib, try choosing it instead... Also, what do you do after you fill your name? It's no use to press "Enter", because the game will wait until you choose the color of your "Shield". After that, if it stops for a while, just try to click both left and right mouse keys - not simultaneously... The game "remembers" the player who played the game the last time and "greets" him - yes, that was me before I upload the game :bleh: ; unfortunately I didn't remember to "clean" it by running setup before the upload: sorry |

Yeah, when I checked it it worked for me too... BUT, I have to sincerely thank you for making me check the archive we've got on the site.
It appears the archive has not been properly cleaned of old user data, and some of the files were altered from their original state (not to mention two of them completely missing). I've got a different copy that hasn't been tampered with, however, and thus it will most likely replace the current archive in a few days. |

Don't worry, Shrek.
Besides, you could not have found out about the missing/altered files without cross-checking with another copy of the game. Having Kosta's thumbs-up on the matter, I have already uploaded the fixed archive to FTP. Would have replaced it too, if it wasn't that for some reason I cannot access the file manager anymore. Oh, well. |
