Hello!
I have some problem with old Game "Swing"
When i trying to start it from Dos Box, receive message "Error initializing 15 and 16 bit mode." What i do wrong?
Sorry for my english.

That's because official DOSBox doesn't support video modes with a colour depth higher than 8 bit. Look in the DEVELOPMENT section of the forum for the location where you can download some CVS version (some CVS releases support up to 32bpp video modes).

[Moving to DOSBox Games/Apps by the way...]

The latest CVS with Direct3D support runs Swing perfectly.

Thank you very much, the game started.
But now when i trying to begin New Game, write fault: "You can't start a game. You started the game as network client." All options OK. Please, Help.

Suffering from the same problem as lada1984.
Tested on v.0.70 and v.0.72.

I don't believe nobody wants to play this exciting game. People, help to solve the issue! Please.
