I can't get this running in DOSBox for very long. I can start a new game, but before too long, it will hang and then crash with this error:
Exit to error: CPU:GRP5:Illegal Call 7

Is there any sure-fire solution for making this game work?

Running:
Windows 10
Core i5-6600
Geforce GTX 970
8GB RAM

I thought it would be assumed I'm using the latest stable version (0.73) if I didn't say otherwise.

Anyway, I found a fix. Type "loadfix" in DOSBox before running the game. I guess the game doesn't like it if you have more than 64k of RAM.

Windows 10
