Why cryptic passage has lags and framerate drops? Blood runs excellent.... Is there a setting? (because cryptic.exe is a loader)
thank you

Probably due to changes in the code made for that expansion pack. Not much can be done about it.
perhaps u know more, but cryptic.exe is 11.4 kb.... I do not think the game has any change, it is just a loader saying the engine what maps and gfx to use... If I am correct, then this could be a VDMsound bug-like thingie...

While I can see why you wouldn't think it wasn't a code change (any changes would obviously small), but why would you point the finger at VDMSound? Do you have some kind of evidence?
Like, maybe, try running it WITHOUT VDMSound and see if it still is slow?
Yes, it’s my fault.
I feel stupid 🙄
cryptic.exe without vdms (and without sound) still has the above probs... I was remembering it running ok on my DOS maschine, Blood runs ok with vdms, so.... sorry for the useless thread

Win2000 has a "PopF" problem. Check the BUILD games entry (BLOOD is a BUILD game) at showthread.php?s=&postid=10183#post10183
Specifically, look under "Common Problem #2".
I Couldn't even get VDMS to load cryptic passage at all.
i get error 202 or something of that nature.
WAY TO RESURRECT A VERY OLD THREAD. YEAH!
I think Runtime Error 202 means "Stack overflow". How are you trying to run this game? Try setting a line containing STACKS=9,256 in the AUTOEXEC.BAT section for VDMSound.
