Hi. Many thanks for DOSBox and for these forums, they're amazing!

Yesterday I dusted off my old "Empire: Wargame of the Century" by Interstil. Almost everything works perfectly, except one small issue.

F10 causes the game to crash. It seems to stop accepting inputs.

In Empire, F10 changes the map view to indicate what each city is producing. This same effect is also available via the menus, so one doesn't have to use F10, but it seems that in the course of each of several of these rather long games that I have played, somehow I do manage to accidentally hit that doggone F10 and sadly, it's game over.

I'm using DOSBox 074.3, initially at 12000 cycles, and now at 30000 cycles. I'm using windowresolution=1280x960 and output=opengl.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Try entering this command in DOSBox before running the game: LOADFIX -25

BTW, 1000-2000 cycles is more "period correct" for a 1988 game, so try less than what you're using if other problems appear.
