Hi,

I have a big problem, the game works fine, no EMS problem or anything, but the game is completly black, you can only see the characters, enemies and your silencer. And when you or the enemies move, you draw every sprite on the screen.

My system:
AMD TB 1700+
Geforce3 TI 200
512MB RAM

Can anyone help?

thanks,
gokpog

Check your video driver is current, I had this problem with a specific version of the detonators which caused a bug in SDL.

I'm using the latest: v53.03

I'll upload the image I took so you can see the bug.

btw: Crusader No Regret runs without problems

Try setting:
CPU Cycles: 11500
Frame skip: 4

That's what I use to play Crusader and it runs good unless there are too may explosions.

thx for the advice, mate...

i honestly didn't think a high cycles would mean well

Take a look at this thread, it explains the CPU Core settings pretty well:
