Hi,
I downloaded Settlers 2 Gold from this page. It Works with DosBOX, but it is very slow and not very "smooth". I got win2k prof. and my DosBox Setting are:

memsize=63
frameskip=1
core=dynamic
cycles=13000

I got 2,4Ghz and all other games work fine. Got any ideas to solve the problem?

I'm fairly sure it's a Windows game - try compatibility modes.

Without DosBOX it won't start.
want do you mean with try compatibility modes?

I'm not sure if the version we have here is the DOs one - if it's the windows one try right-clicking on the game executable, got to properties and compatibility tab, then try the windows 95 setting.

You should be able to play it on win2k using VDMSound.

If i try starting it with VDM sound I get the error:

OUTER MAIN LOOP ERROR: No VESA-Driver found!!

Start config first, and see if you can configure the game. Then start the game.

Does anyone know how to make Settlers 2: Gold Edition run on windows XP. I tried DosBox but it is too slow. I can enter the game but the window keeps on scrolling down in a looped fashion. :blink: The compatability settings also don't work. I was also wondering if it would be possible to have two operating systems on your computer. One being XP and the other DOS. I have no idea if this is possible because I have never used dos before.

Thanks

I never encountered an error playing Settler 2 with VDMSound. That's what you should try next.

I can't start Settlers 2 with VDMSound.

It keeps telling me this error:
OUTER MAIN LOOP ERROR: No VESA-Driver found!!

I enabled basic VESA support in the configuration, but this does not work.

Oh and i get this COM2 error, but this does not seem to be a bigger problem

I use win2k.

Any suggestions?


If i run it in DOSBox it crashes from time to time. If anyone has a solution to this I would be satisfied
