This is kid of a weird one. My issue is this:

I'm running SQIV in OSX with DOSBox, and I've run into a very strange issue. When I open DOSBox and manually navigate to the game folder and run it from there, everything works perfectly. However, when I just right-click on the EXE directly from Finder and say "open with" DOSBox, the game still runs, but the voices are gone. This is the patched version of the game, and I've edited the resource.cfg file appropriately, otherwise I dont think it would even work manually, but it does.

The main thing is this, what is the difference between manually going to the folder in DOSBox and directly running it from Finder? I can't figure it out.

Anybody know?
