Try increasing your cpu cycles, in the meantime i'll post back results getting the cd and downloadable versions running although speed will most likely be an issue.

Yep getting the same video pauses as yourself, if you turn off all features and sound these are reduced. The main reason tho is blood requires at least pentium 75. Dosbox can reach approx 486DX 100 currently, give this one some time.

I thought Blood worked in every single last version of Windows so far? Doesn`t it work in XP? I`m a win98 personally so I`ve never tested it in XP.

Dear dear, icemann, how long have you been a member here, and you still don't know about the problems with BUILD games (Duke3D, Blood, Shadow Warriors, etc)

Yep, did that when I tried to run it with WinXP/VDMsound. It works but it's laggy (strangely enough, it actually runs better). Thought I'd try it in Doxbox to see if it ran any better. If I turn up the CPU cycles enough, It'd probably run atleast as well as it does in XP (who knows what that kind of stress does to your CPU though). Heh, in a couple of years when I get my 5GHz processor, I'll come back and play Blood. 😁

Yes BUILD games have their problems but...

Using the latest CVS build i've had excellent time playing Duke3d.
I haven't tried Blood yet.
And i did play a little bit of Shadow Warrior.
It's a little jerky still but it works quite well.

Strangely enough, Duke Nukem 3d worked just fine with plain old VDMsound and WinXP. They probably made a few additions to Build when they released Blood. I'm sure the Build games will start to run better and better as tweaks and enchantments are made to dosbox's protected mode implementation.

Blood has a rather significant portion of code additional to the base BUILD engine.
