Hello,

I have the DOS version of the game. I didn't patch it to 1.02 because if doing so, for me it looked like it got laggier somehow so I left it in it's original state.

I get some stutter in SVGA mode (DosBox 7.02), is there a way I can get the game run smoother?

Thanks

I remember back when I went to school, we learned this thing call reading. I wonder why it went out of fashion?

Ctrl f-9 10 times and if that won't help just lower cycles.

Ctrl F9? Isn't that the "kill Dosbox" keystroke?
