just started playing this oldie gem since I caught the oldies fever again replaying anachronox for the past week Smile

wanted to post my settings that made the game work flawlesly, cause it took me a few hours of googling to get it all working properly.

hopefully it helps someone Wink

Quote:

1.install redguard normally
2.get this version of dosbox http://ykhwong.x-y.net/xe/dosbox_data
3. delete glide2x file from dosbox folder
4. Download and install nGlide
5.Edit dosbox.conf (set memsize=63 and fullscreen=true and add this to [autoexec] section):

mount c c:\games
imgmount e c:\games\redguard\redguard2.cue -t iso

this way the fmv's work, obvioulsy directory structure is relative.

for the sound, i opened "setsound.exe" from within dosbox, disabled midi and selected soundblaster for digital sound.

just completed it. the eldrescrolls wiki was wrong when they said the game can't be completed with dosbox. most likely glidos owner lying to get purchases i edited the wiki to reflect that, but somebody already deleted it lol steam: Drowning witch uplay: Haxeety game completion log: http://pastebin.com/g6MgD5DV rig: http://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/2090866

Well.. they said it doesn't work on CPU, hence the crash at certain areas no matter what CPU core you use, and that it's only completable with Glide - which is GPU acceleration and not CPU. You actually just proved that since you needed to use the external Glide2 library I think they only listed Glidos as a suggestion

doh oh well, the wording is a bit confusing, since glide needs dosbox as well, but yeah, it does make sense when you look at it that way steam: Drowning witch uplay: Haxeety game completion log: http://pastebin.com/g6MgD5DV rig: http://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/2090866

Well at least you managed to get it working without having to buy or "buy" a Glide wrapper
