That is certainly not any kind of typical error.

To rule out the obvious: are you installing this game from original media? And have you been able to run other things on this 486?

Gods is that kind of game that just runs on everything, well with verry fast machines you just disable cache. 486 class machines totally do not need that.

What are your config.sys and autoexec.bat configuration and what dos version do you use?

I am aroused about any X86 motherboard that has full functional ISA slot. I think i have problem. Not really into that original (Turbo) XT,286,386 and CGA/EGA stuff. So just a DOS nut.
PS. If I upload RAR, it is a 16-bit DOS RAR Version 2.50.

The issue seemed to resolve itself when I found a iso of the game online, not the warez version I got from somwhere. I want to say that the warez version I had worked fine on all the other computers i tried it on.

It should be very easy to spot which version you have:

  1. 4868 jan 7 1992 GODS.EXE without copy protection
  2. 4948 jan 7 1992 GODS.EXE with copy protection
  3. 4900 feb 19 1992 GODS.EXE with copy protection (v1.01)

And the biggest mystery, why did they release a version without copy protection ?
