The game runs...well, ok...but one thing is bugging me; it'll only allow me three reloads then DosBox crashes back to desktop.

For example, I start the game and die. So I load game X. Ok, I play some more, die again, then load game X again (or game Y, doesn't matter)

But the 3rd time I load a game, blooey!..back to desktop.

Anyone know if there's a config setting that controls this?

Thanks 😀

yes, it's a secret setting in the sdl section of the config.

default is 3 and you needto set it higher. Don't set it to 0 or Tomb Raider crashes on starting up.

Seriously try the actual latest version of Dosbox.

Try ykhwong's build http://ykhwong.x-y.net/). It might solve your problem, and it supports the 3Dfx version of Tomb Raider 😀
