Anybody remembers this fine RPG/dungeon crawler? Actually I have a bit of a problem with this one. Every time I exit the game, DOS4GW crashes witn error 0Dh, indicating a general protection fault, and freezes the PC (only the Reset button helps). I played the CD Rip version earlier on the DosBox, and the same problem occured. At first I thought it's a rip version/DB issue, but it also happens on an actual old PC with DOS, using the original game CD.
At first I tried to patch the game to 1.1 version, as the readme suggested, that the crashing issue should be fixed in 1.1, and if it doesn't help - turning off the sound in setup will. Well guess what, patching didn't help, the game still crashes, and it's not really that fancy to play without any music/sounds, eh?
Did a bit of research by myself, found out several other games also crashed in a similar way, all because of the PATH variable in autoexec. Suggestions told to change it to 250 characters or less. Welp, that didn't help either (actually I didn't have any PATH set in the autoexec to begin with, but that's another story)
So - anybody else stumbled upon this error? Any way to fix it? Playing without sound isn't that great, and that PC-freezing-and-resetting-every-time-I-finish-playing issue gets very tiring pretty quick.
