Really? You feel IG2 is the same game but with 3d graphics? I liked IG2, but I loved IG1. The story was pretty good, and all the imperfections made it perfect. 3 flagships a fleet max I prefer to IG2 too. The list goes on and on. I cant actually point and say thats what made this game so special to …

Yeah I might, when I actually do get some free time. Bit hectic now. And yeah, after trying your settings in the official, I went straight away for one of the CVS builds and tried similar settings and played for about 10 minutes with them. Gets hard to remember which setting worked best after youve …

Well in short, that didnt work as well as you made it sound for me. Glad to hear it works for some though. It was faster than when I had tried before though, Ill give you that much. And Id say it crossed the unplayable threshold and is now somewhere in the you-can-play-this-if-youve-got-loads-of- …

I can get it to run using Dosbox too, and it is easy as you say. The original thread poster says that they ran the game without dosbox, only used it for install, thus my comment. As for you running the game smoothly, you must have some serious tolerance to lag or something strange is going on. Mine …

Just in case you are having problems and want to play this game, Id like to point out that I made the thread originally to try and work out the problems with VDMSound, rather than dosbox. Just in case you are wondering, I have no problem with getting the game to run using dosbox, but unfortunately …

Just wanted to say that Im surprised this works at all. It doesnt for me, I get the oh-too-familiar runtime error 216. This happens on any pentium 3 or above based computer, dont know about AMDs. BTW, the latest versions of Dosbox can run the game on all of my computers, but on all of them very …

Snover - "fully working"... :P If you read my posts, I did try it... NSG - When I said the native didnt work, I didnt mean flat out didnt work, I meant that it crashed its way into oblivion. As for the game and its unfinished state, it was as you later pointed out that they realised that it would be …

Hi again, yeah I did try native emulation, that didnt work... My laptop seems quite hopeless at playing IG, it might work with something like Virtual PC too, but it will be even slower which I dont think will be tolerable. And as for my soundcard, it seems to be EXACTLY the same as Rob's (if youre …

Well, that comment about dual-booting I agree with, I just never got around to installing an inferior OS to XP on my comp cause I never had a reason for it... Using Virtual PC, Ive installed Win98SE and can run the game on my big comp even though the sound crackles and pops, but it doesnt crash and …

I can post this on the W98 thread, but when I run the W9x version, I get the same DMA related error as someone else on the thread said... here's a shot:

So is the conclusion that theres nothing to be done? Are there any good DOS emulators, other than Dosbox, that you think I should try? I installed W98SE on Virtual PC as I mentioned to you, the sound cracks, and VDMSound for W98 doesnt work for some reason, but the game doesnt crash. So I guess at …

Yup I think we got that, thanks... Any ideas on whats causing it, and how to get it to not happen? And its strange that it crashes with either that error or the NTVDM error...

Using Virtual PC, Ive installed Win98SE, and ran the game. The sound detection and test worked, but the sound there and in-game was still crack-ly. This is already a major effort to get one game to work! (Why does it have to be so hard? sob) Dont know if this crackling will also lead to the same …

Hi, I registered too, Im the original poster. Now... I tried looking up error 216 as well, and a lot of the info is that it is a trojan, but if you look, the error is at specific and what seems to be constant addresses, whereas the addresses I get vary and do not match the trojan ones. I realised …
