Read my 60 Seconds Guide to DOSBox (and don't just read it - follow it too).

If that doesn't help, come back with details on how you mounted your C and D drives, how you did the install, how you configured sound, music etc.

Reading the aptly named README file will be a good idea too.

Reading alot more , still having some problems following your guide.

But also due to the known issues with this game and plus its not listed here.

I really wonder if it will work at all following these guides like a fruitless quest.
in some of the links ive shown above claim there is no soundblaster support for example spite the games requirements. this is a rare gem that never should of been.

can anyone claim this game works?

Don't even bother. It's designed for Pentiums minimum.

I didn't have trouble setting up sound in it, BTW. The whole 'no sound' thing you read about probably refers to trying to run it under NTVDM which is a bad idea anyway.

Just don't endure the horror of this game 😀

Indeed. This is a crappy game.

I have a CD of this crappy game and was able to install it in DOSBox using its install program.

There is an opening movie that refuses to play beyond a note and a frame. One can get past the loading screen to the main menu, but when I tried to start a new game, I get the error that appears in the screenshot and am booted back to DOS.

I have good news, I can confirm that Undermountain seems to work in DOSBox. I didn't try it for very long and performance was not great. Use default machine and cpu types to get it to work.

The opening movie, however, stutters all the time. Is there anything that can be done about that?

The movies in most Interplay games of that era tend to have stuttering issues in DOSBox, I notice, usually (partially) fixed by using a BIN/CUE image instead of the original disc...but your mileage may vary, I'd think.

I'm trying to get this game to run now as well.

After a bit of effort I have gotten it to install and allow me to create a character. I'm unable to get into any gameplay though. You can click around the static city map to visit shops and experience a couple dialogue sequences, but as soon as I try to enter the game itself it crashes to desktop.

I happen to like revisiting crappy games, so I'd love to hear any experiences from others.

Indeed, this game is utter crap.

you don't have to tell us that, it's already a synonym

I faced the same problem a few weeks ago when I did some clean-up and found a bunch of old games I hadn't finished...

I was able to run this game and finish it. First, you need to mount both the intrplay folder and the cdrom drive and make sure to disable the loadfix.
Hit 'esc' key to pass the buggy intro video. The game worked better with d-frend releaded front-end. Oh and make sure you patched the game before play(dtu1-3.exe).

This game itself is strange as it require a 'powerful for it's time computer' while still ruinng on a dos based engine and yet no 3df support. Interplay messed things real bad with this game

The problem seem that there are still not enough memory avaible with dosbox: with the maximum setting you are still on the verge of the game minimum requirement(200 MHz with 64mB) if you could just go to 300Mhz with 128mb(maybe future releases of dosbox will allow) that would probably be better. Also the memckeck show like 0 virtual memory all the time but I don't know what cause this.

Hope it helped. good luck on playing this game .
