Can you just paste that area of your config? I'm not completely
fluent in this stuff.. should I use 0.74 for this test or 3630?
I just want to make sure I'm doing exactly what your doing.

cycles=50000
works in every dosbox
Using 0.74 I tried
core= auto
cycles= 60000
cputype= auto
Still crashed
also tried
core= normal
cycles= 60000
cputype= auto
Still crashes
Does core or cpu matter for this?
Oh you wrote 50,000 my bad.. I read it as 60000
let me try that
Does it have to be typed like this
cycles= fixed 50000
or like this
cycles= 50000
I just tried on 50000, the crash still occurs
we must be doing something differently
do you see cycles in the title bar?
do you try it in the tutorial?
try with the svn you have
and try lower cycles and in low res
hey yeah.. it did fix the tutorial and buildings..
but not indoor trucks/trailer things you must enter.
in the first stage you encounter these pretty quick.
If you do your tests on the first stage. I'm sure you'll
get the same results.. re-enter the same one more
than once..
SO WE'RE MAKING PROGRESS. 🤣
thanks for all the help.
the entrance of these indoor trucks is even more important
to progression in the game. So I wonder how that would be fixed
YESS!!!!! FINALLY!!
in the info doc that comes with the game..
It recommends 25000 cycles..
By putting it to fixed 25000 cycles
It eliminates all crashes regardless of what you
are re-entering
On my pc it still runs at a great speed!!
Thanks a lot for walking me through this..
Its only been 3 months trying to figure this out!!
25000 cycles is not enough for hi res mode, but you can slow it down only for the moment of loading.
How would you go about doing that? I'm in hi-res mode.
It's a very regular speed. very very playable.
But I would like to know how you keep at 50,000 and than
drop it down to 25,000 when reentering a building
could you teach me?
you really saved my life on this whole thing.
I thought I'd never play through this gem again! 😀
read dosbox's manual about all that stuff
are you sure you are in hi res mode? this game somehow doesn't want to remember the mode and i have to turn it on every time.
Game has the same problem on reentering trucks on PIII 450.(run from win98 as it doesn't want to run in dos)
Game works fine on P166MMX (in dos).
