Likely a starforce issue. There are nocd cracks for the game out there if you don't want to infect your system with starforce. You can also try the game in a VM with daemon tools.

16mhz is fast (lol) , I played tons of DOS games on my 286 12mhz from 1991 to 1995. Stick with real mode games and you should be good mostly. I don't remember the specs lying much back then. I remember playing Wolf3D on my 286, it wasn't painful.

It's an optimization guide for developers for coding their software to take advantage of the new architecture, ie not news.

Sigh, FUD. Both with your horrible subject and at Tom's. Now my opinion of Tom's has dropped even lower if that's even possible. How about you put 30 seconds of thought into how this article doesn't make any sense.

Guess no one at AMD is on the insider program heh. One performance issue has already been fixed by a Windows update, the other issue requires AMD to release a driver update.

The early versions of valve games stored most of the game files via gcf. (They can be extracted with GCFScape if you want but don't have to be.) First check that location to see if the files are in that location. IIRC the location is also a registry entry that can be changed.

I noticed that this is posted in old hardware. Is this main intent for this program for DOSBox? If so then we'll need to move it to the appropriate forum.

If you think they cannot read your encrypted data you are wrong, they wrote the encryption and can reverse it (unless you pre-encrypt it with third party tools but even then...no guarentee) Got any proof of that ?
