Excuse me, but why on earth would you want to run VDMSound and Dosbox simulatously? One should be enough, I think. Try run it through VDMSound only and see if that works.

If you install U8 from your original floppies the game extract some sort of file and there is this message "don't abort process...blah... you have to reinstall". I wanna play my german version and after the gamefile ist extracted i run it in dosbox and it works... until i exit the game and restart, then comes "fault you have to reinstall"
Since on Abandonia is the english (working) version i wanna know how this problem was solved. I this a dosbox problem (Read/write prob of the hdd's during)? I have no real dos environment. |

It was the U8SHAPES.CMP - it extracts to U8SHAPES.FLX.
In my case the rest of the .cmp file is not deleted (17kb) but the .flx has the same size like the english one. I deleted the .cmp manually and hope that no error occurs. |

Do you play it in DosBox, under VDMSound or just in plain Windows XP? If in Windows XP, there you have your problem, DosBox solves it well.

Did you try to load a game before the dagger has been returned? Maybe it's just a bug.
