I have encountered some problems while using redneck rampage with dosbox

does not like the non-standalone version of the mission pack, "suckin grits on route 66" but works if i use the standalone version

will not quit to prompt unless i hit enter twice, this is in the original and standalone mission pack, but not the sequel "rides again"

autorun and mouse aiming does not stay on, and autoaim does not stay off no matter what. im not sure this is a dosbox issue, however its fine in blood. this happens in the the original and the mission pack

how am i supposed to prove this? other than being able to reproduce them everytime. i cant really take screenshots of them.

whether or not they are dosbox related, i would think someone would be willing to help people troubleshoot atleast.

isnt it the job of you guys after all to investigate these possible issues?

Actually I think most people here have other more important jobs, they only do this for fun.

Job? You want to pay somebody for looking into it? You should have mentioned that in the first place 😁

im just saying, dont you want dosbox to be problem free? assuming these are dosbox problems

i report these things because i want to help make dosbox better i find bugs and such. if you guys out right say that you dont wish to fix bugs and want doxbox to have problems. then why are you still developing it?

Dosbox will never be problem free.

and we can't investigate an issue with a game if we do not have the game.

I do have Blood w/Cryptic Passage and I haven't had the behavior that you describe but I haven't played it in awhile. If I'm bored this weekend (and if I don't get my G*DAMN CASE tommorow so I can build my computer I will be), then I'll take a look at it.

that is true, with any software there will always be problems

anyways, if you do have blood, you may need to play a little for it to appear
for example, if i was shooting or picking up ammo, the ammo counter cant decide between the amount of ammo i had before i picked that up, and after.
or simply wont update the counter at all for a little bit. this happens it seems with armor and health too

the status bar will sometimes flicker, i think this might happen when changing a level or loading a save. i experienced these problems all the way through playing all of blood and its mission packs, so it certainly doesnt happen in any one spot

i remember this happening alot more when i wasent using VESA, so you may wish to check it out without using that

i havent played redneck rampage since i posted this, but i think it might be dosbox having trouble reading its setup file. if anyone has redneck rampage could confirm as well. it will help this get fixed

i have just played 4 levels of blood, and didnt get the problem even without VESA on

earlier today i updated to the latest CVS build, so i wonder of it was fixed in that. i still have the redneck rampage issues though
