And I consistently got the black screen, then time after the scene with the stone (before you even see the moongate). I even used the settings provided by the bootdisk.
I can bypass the black screen problem by hitting Esc during the intro, and I get taken to the menu. But I wonder if other animations later will end up hanging the game.
hi! I got the very same bug. I run a Pentium 90 with MS-DOS 6.2. My config.sys settings include FILE=40 et BUFFER=40. I use Moslo with the french version of Ultima VII. I've chosen the Roland MT-32 soundtrack and the SoundBlaster Pro voicing. I've got the Roland module and a Soundblaster 16 (CT2230). I have to say there are a Roland SCC1 and a Gravis Ultrasound next to the SB.
Interestingly I can bypass the issue by hitting ESC. Then if I reload the intro, everything go smooth. 😵 😐 Smartdrive does not change anything in my case. If I disable the SoundBlaster Pro the bug disapears. I think this is a DMA or an adress conflict. Or maybe I missed a patch...
Thanks for your replies!
