kinda slow game, but it works... not maybe a favourite, but liked the easy controls which I find very important in a point and click game

Well, I'm among the lucky people who are trying out the new DOSBox 0.64 and I can tell you that the game runs at a normal speed! You still need to wind it up to 20.000 cycles, but it works perfectly then (and the new DOSBox uses less CPU power even at such high cycles).

I know this thread is old, really old, but I'm having a major problem running this game. It worked fine the first time I ran it. I got tired, saved, quit playing, and now I can't run it again. Well, I can run the game, but if I try to talk to anyone or look at anything the game just shuts down. Any ideas? I've tried all sorts of things but nothing helped. I'm running it in DosBox, by the way. I adjusted CPU cycles, configured sound several ways, ran under replay, etc. If I try to run it in XP I don't get any graphics, just sound. Blah! I'm so irritated! I looked but I didn't see anyone else had this problem. If anyone is out there, PLEASE HELP!
+++MERGED+++ Okay, so I looked at an earlier post and figured out, much to my dismay, why it wasn't working. It seems I tried to get the speech to work by enabling the digital sound in setup. Unfortunately, I had another problem with the game. I couldn't see any of the movies. I had to guess what happened. When a "movie" would come up, the screen would get all weird looking and I just had to press the "Esc" button. All in all, I'd say the game was pretty dull. I wished there were more times that I could press the "Esc" button and skip all of it. The game just seemed like a lot of busy work. I didn't like it much. I don't think all of the "movies" I missed could possible have made up for it. Well, onto better things. |

Solutions and failures.

Disabling the sound completely solves the intro crash (occurs when getting of the train) Saving without sound and then loading with sound after this scene solves it temporarily (until the next speech from our protagonist occurs...) Tried soundblaster compatable, soundblaster 16 and more. Same error. Disabling any writing protection to the folder and files solves the saving bug In windows - right click the folder - properties - and uncheck writing protection. Any suggestions on how to run this properly with sound? I'm at a loss here. It seems, without a "real" "old" computer either you play it without sound or not at all. Kind Regards /Nick |

Well, I'm in quite a shity situation.
I played the game yesterday and everything worked fine, today I can't load yesterday's save and I passed 30% of the game and don't feel like playing from the beginning. This is what pop up when I try to load: Any ideas if this is repairable? :wondering: EDIT: The solution is to start "Vic32" instead of "Gene", beats me if there is any logic in this, but important thing is that it works. Now if anyone would have this problem would know the solution form here. Last edited by BranjoHello; 05-09-2009 at 03:42 PM. |

Saving/Restoring problem - possible solution
Hi,
For anyone else who is trying to save the game and nothing happens: I found someone posting somewhere who suggested this, and it worked (for me): bring up the menu; position the mouse over the save icon (or the restore icon, if you're trying to restore); move the mouse pointer to the middle of the screen; click. That brings up the save (or the restore) list. - FrP |

Dosbox seems to claim full compatibility for this game, and obviously others have gotten it to work. Could anyone help me figure out how to get this to work properly? I've tried running the game with all the soundblaster options, and with gravis ultrasound. Same result each time, and the same thing also happens when I choose manual configuration and match it up to the dosbox settings instead of auto-detect. Nothing is set as read-only. My actual OS is windows 7 x64, if it matters. The specs of my machine is: Processor: i7 4790k Graphics card: Asus gtx 980 Motherboard: Asus Z97-A RAM: Kingston hyperx fury 16GB Storage: Samsung 840 EVO |
