Do your LCD have an adjustment button?

I'm on a laptop... (no screen buttons at all)

run it with dosbox 0.65 and substitute dos4gw.exe with dos32a.exe.

where do I find dos32a.exe ? it's not in the Settlers directory...

ok sorry I found it, I tried tu use it externally and internally, but the problem stays the same... any idea ?
(thanks for your answers anyway)

backup dos4gw.exe (found in your settlers2 directory) and rename dos32a.exe to dos4gw.exe then place it in your settlers2 directory. (then run the game with dosbox 0.65)

Is it necessary to run it with dosbox ? I did it with the microsoft dos emulator (in windows xp), and it didn't work.
When I try to use dosbox on Linux (Debian), I get another problem, about image loading...

I'll may try with dosbox on windows...

yes... windows and dosbox.

ok it works !

thanks !

but it runs a bit slow... I tried to increase cycles up to 90% of my CPU and to set core+full in dosbox.conf, but it is still difficult to play 😒
Do you know if it's possible to make the game more playable ?

Try dynamic core, not full, if you are looking for speed.

Still not playable...

The smotthness of Settlers 2 depends strongly on map size and visible area. Very small maps run smoothly, but if you want to play FanPaign, you will have live with 0.5 fps.

well I gave up 😒
I play Widelands now, a free Settlers 2 clone. But I met a bug in the first campaign map... maybe I can play only in freemaps...
