I have a small issue with DosBox games in Windows 10 and I'd like some help please.
Whenever I start the game it shows a black screen interrupted by part of the window behind.
Whenever there is a transition between gameplay and a cutscene it shows either a cursor divided in two parts, or the last played scene before cutscene (like the screen is split into two and the colors are inverted).
Plus when I choose to exit the game, there is a screen before it returns back to the desktop.
Please note that it takes about 2-4 seconds to make the transitions between cutscenes and gameplay and to get me out of DosBox.
None of these affect the overall gameplay, but I'd like to get rid of them anyway.
When I had Windows Vista none of that ever happened. Just a black screen between start, transitions and exit screens and that's all.
Furthermore , in Vista there was an option "disable Visual themes", or "disable Desktop composition" which helped for situations like this. There is no such option in Windows 10.
Is there a way to fix that?
I already tried changing scaler, output and other settings in dosbox.conf. Nothing changed!
When I switch the game to window mode the transitions are faster, but the screens remain the same.
