Hey,
I searched the forum on this, but i didn't find anything:
When I run DOSBox Many colors are displayed as gray, that shouldn't be. While the colors fade in or out, they are often displayed correctly. Even black is displayed as gray. I attatched a screenshot of Civilization 1, which i try to play, but I don't think this is specific to the game, because as soon as I start DOSBox i have the same problem all through Vista.
This happened after doing a fresh install on Vista and selecting output=overlay, which is the only output setting that seems to work.
I think it might be Vista choosing the 256 colors for the palette not very smart. If that's the problem, using fullscreen should solve the problem, I think. But whenever I try to go to fullscreen mode (ALT+Enter or via dosbox.conf) DOSBox just completely crashes.
I've got up to date drivers for my Intel 945 Express graphics. I'll post a section of my dosbox.conf, too:
fullscreen=false
fulldouble=false
fullresolution=1280x1024
windowresolution=1280x1024
output=overlay
autolock=true
sensitivity=100
waitonerror=true
priority=higher,normal
mapperfile=mapper.txt
usescancodes=true
I hope you can help me out.
Thanks in advance
Cohar
