I get this soon as I start a ground mission. Any idea what causes this?

Also, I cant seem to enlarge the Dosbox window and when I go full screen, I get a black screen and DOSBox crashes...

you use core=dynamic. So you are on your own. Dont 't bother.

Stop using dynamic core. It's still very experimental. Use normal core for games/apps where you get the overrrun.

By the way, DOSBox is indeed a strole of genius and a Godsend. I got a *ton* of old DOS games that I couldn't run before DOSBox.

I had gone searching for a DOS emulator in the hopes of being able to play X-COM again and DOSBox was the first to pop up so I said, what the heck, give it a try.

The one game that I *knew* DOSBox wouldn't be able to run perfectly was Megatraveller2. I just *knew* I wouldn't get the sound or that piece of music that plays during the character generation process.

To my total surprise DOSBox set up and ran the game perfectly.

Mechwarrior 1 was another problem child that DOSBox ran perfectly.

I have no doubt it could run Privateer if the game would only recognize the CD drive 🙁

Awesome job DOSBox crew!
