I started playing a game that I last played over a year ago. Both times cycles was set to default, but now it's WAY slower, with much more lag with animation and sprites. I even compared video of it to confirm. I checked the task manager and it seems there's plenty of bandwidth. What could be going on?

If you're using the output=opengl setting then make sure that vsync is not enabled. Opengl+vsync is known to cause a slowdown/lag effect in DOSBox with some video drivers.

If that's not the cause of your issue, it is at least a good example of the kind of thing to look at, because video drivers are definitely something that could have changed between one year ago and now.

Another thing to know, what is your OS ?

Thanks for the responses. I'm on Windows 10 Pro. It says it installed last month - must have been an update.
