Hi I've noticed with a few games (one being Hexen) when displayed fullscreen, the game slows down alot, and audio skips or doesn't play at all.. When played in windowed mode this doesn't happen though.. What do I need to do to get it to run the same in fullscreen as it does in windowed? I've set the cycles to max, which usually fixes any slowing, but it doens't in this case. Thank you

posting your DOSBox config file and machine specs would help.

I'd first try to pick a different "output=" value (surface, overlay, opengl, openglnb, openglhq, ddraw, direct3d).

Also updating graphics card drivers helps too.

@Vile, you keep on recommending direct3d, that's only an option with Special Dosbox builds, not with lock stock Dosbox

True - I have multiple dosbox.conf files open in my text editor, must have pasted the "possible values" from the wrong one 😁

I've noticed fulldouble=true causes stuttering on some graphics cards. Try setting it to false.
