I didn't help (I changed to something called "EU - Moderators", even though I'm the computer's only user). I even tried redownloading the game and the effect was the same: invisible tilesets. Any other ideas? I don't want to be deprived of such a nice tileset as Fantasy!

But it doesn't look like this on my computer. There is no tab titled "owner" in the security settings. I use Windows 7, not Windows 10.

I would like to test these options. If it's the first option - how do I recognise no read permission and how do I change it?

I have had this problem for some time and nobody has been able (or willing) to help me. I have this game and greatly enjoy it, but I can't play two tilesets: Fantasy and Flag. They are just missing from the in-game tileset list. However... I have the files! Both fantasy.set and flag.set are in the …

A question about this game has appeared before, but I found it not very relevant because what I have is not a disk image. Just files. And by the way, I dislike developers who put multiple executable files in a single game, because how am I supposed to know which one should be used? Anyway, I was …

As in the title - I can't run any DOS game in D-Fend Reloaded. It just shuts. I don't remember where is the tick box for not closing DOSBox window if the game shuts, so I can't check the DOSBox message. Background: my apartment was undergoing renovation, so for the last two months I was living …

OK, so maybe another question. Running "Discworld" through DOSBox only seems less comfortable because of the game's installation process. I prefer to keep all games in one folder. Suppose I install the game; it seems to require a short path in line with DOS standards. Will it be installed to my real …
