Hi, I've been using DOSBox 0.74 on Win Vista to play the Settlers II and everything was going smoothly until today. I was playing the first mission of the world campaign (Europe) and managed to reach what seems to be the British Isles. I built the first barracks there and the game crashed as soon as my soldier moved in and my territory expanded. The following error message appeared:

DOS/4GW error (2001): exception 00h (divide by zero) at 160:00000410
TSF32: prev_tsf32 52A0
SS 168 DS 168
... and so on, I attach the error screen and the status window.

I read somewhere that this can be a problem with memory, so I used the loadfix command, but it didn't help.

Does anyone know what to do? 😢

Thanks for the reply, but it didn't work. There's a new error.

BTW, I don't know if it's relevant at all, but if I don't move the camera to this problematic area, the game works just normal.

"C:\S2.EXE" ? You seem to be mounting your Settlers folder as drive C. This is generally not a good idea and may be the cause of your problems, as most programs do not expect to be run from C:\.

If your Settlers folder is C:\somewhere\S2, then you should use "mount c c:\somewhere" when you start DOSBox and not "mount c c:\somewhere\s2". See if that helps.
