Hi all. I have downloaded and installed Dark Sun: Shattered Lands, and it runs perfectly smoothly at the speed the developers intended it run.

However, I would enjoy the game more if it ran at twice its regular speed.

Is there a way to do this?

Are you running this on DosBox or real hardware?

I vaguely recall this game being somewhat dependent on the processor speed. But its probably not all that much because I played through this game on a P2-400 over 10 years ago. In windows 98.

I dimly recall that there was a website which had obtained the legal rights to freely distribute the game, but my memories are fuzzy on the matter.

Dark Sun is NOT freeware. If it was all the abandonware sites would say so. Any download is warez. I suggest that the person who downloaded it go to thge site where he downloaded and ask them. This site DOES NOT support abandonware and illegal downloads.

Do you think it's easy to keep track of these things? Heck, a lot of those sites would be much more likely to say something is freeware when it isn't.

Any download is warez.

Many of them are. Not all of them.

Anyway, poking around a bit suggests I was probably thinking of materials for the pen-and-paper game, so never mind.

Yes, illegal downloads aren't allowed here...
