This game is mentioned in the supported section as fully playable. However, i always get an "pagefault no set" error and then DosBOX crashes. Anyone an idea, what could be the problem?

I finally got it working first with no sounds/no music selected. I then chose Soundblaster Pro for sound and music (even though they had the 'red' boxes) and it seems to work fine. I am using DOSBox 0.61 version. Also, use the DOS install (origin.bat on the CD). I believe I was getting that pagefault error when I tried starting the 'Windows install' version.

still the same problem:

i don't have a file called origin.bat on the whole cd.
the setup program itself recognizes all cards correctly (i also don't have a red box in front of Soundblaster Pro). If i choose no sound at all, the game crashes with exactly the same error - "pagefault couldn't correct table". (and of course, within DosBOX: the error appears in the DosBOX log window)

nothing you can do about it.

Sorry, I must have a different version. My disk has both a DOS and Windows install method. The game itself is still a DOS game, but the Windows installer just adds a shortcut, I guess. Anyway, when in DOSBox, do you go to the games' hard drive location and type 'dark'? I tried with the Windows installer and it works as well. Also, it does not work with previous versions of DOSBox...only 0.61, with the others the game crashes to the desktop. Maybe you could try cleaning the disk as well.

Yes, i only have a dos version on my CD. It's the German Version, Version 1.0 (1994).

I can install the game correctly under DosBOX and tested a lot of different configurations now with different types of memory, cycles and sound settings. However, i always get the same error: "Exit to error: pagefault didn't correct page" - the game works ok in pure DOS 5.0 btw.
