Anyone had this problem before?
Atm i'm playing Eye of the beholder II and i prefer to move around using my 7,8,9 on the numeric keyboard for easier search and movement ingame.
The problem is that when i move to fast around with 9 (turn right) then it stops reacting and only works once in a while.
I can turn around all i like with the 7 (turn left) and just as fast as i like it,but turn right with 9 seems to causde some problems.

I tried to remap the 7,8,9 to my arrowkeys but that does not seem to help,and it's not because the 9 key is broken or anything.
My CPU use is constantly running at 7-8% so i don't suspect it has something to do with that.

Anyone had this problem before and know what to do?
Thanks.

Virt.

Same here. Seems to be a bug in Eye of the beholder II.
Eye of the beholder 1 works fine, though.

Does it happen on a real DOS machine?

I tried running eob II directly from win 2000 and i get the same problem so it seems like it's a bug in eob II like another mentioned and not something in Dosbox.
Never thought about running it in normal dosmode just to check.
Thanks for the help though 😀

Well Windows 2000 uses the same NTVDM type of thing as WinXP (and NTVDM is Microsoft's DOS emulator for NT). It would be best if someone could confirm on a real DOS machine.

I remember to have played it without problems under real MS-DOS but I am not really sure anymore. It was A LONG TIME AGO.

UPDATE:

TESTED AND CONFIRMED under MS-DOS 6.22 - It is behaving exactly the same. So, it's not a DOSBox bug. Must be a bug in the way EOB2 handles the keyboard.
