in advanced VDMS properties in LauchPad:

Program:
(u may not do this, it doesn't matter for running the game)
Close Dos Window on exit

Compatability:
EMS: 4096
XMS: 4096
IMPORTANT!!! BECAUSE OF THIS THE GAME HADN'T STARTED TO ME!!
SHUT DOWN DOSX!!! (Enable DPMI support) TURN IT OFF!!

everything else is by default..
i haven't touched anything else.. and the game runs perfect..😀
the game is v1.02

Someone needs to wash your mouth with soap.

This useless post brought to you by a three-post wonder.

If you download this game from here: Underdogs
*link removed*

You can get this problem described in this thread!
"game doesn't run. hungs right after start. video mode seems to change, then nothing happens. when i press esc, cursor of random color appears in random place on the screen."

Solution:
Edit the drive.cfg!!!!!
There are only two C!
Change the C to the right installation directory:
Maybe c:\bkrondor\

Sorry Vlad,

Didn't know how to fix it with vdmsound and my expertise is with dosbox.

BAK worked fine for me with nothing done to it, standard VDM settings

I'm sure Vlad will agree with me when I say that DosBox is increasingly becoming the better solution in most cases. M$'s NTVDM is a sorry piece of programming compared to DosBox and sadly VDMSound has to lay atop it like a slim pretty young woman atop a fat slob. 😮 Hey, that's a pretty good analogy!

So long as it doesn't require protected mode, or a 486, or a Pentium, or SVGA.

Plus it's still limited to basic 8Bit SoundBlaster audio.

A disturbing one, at least...
