are you using ykwongs build or the aep-emulation build ?

Hi,

sorry that I've forgotten to mention this. I am using the aep-build. But I've just tried the ykwongs build and got the same problem.

So, maybe it's a DOS32A-problem?

umm...windows...since you've mentioned shift key, does that sticky keys dialog pop up by any chance?

Hi,

I already have deactivated that "sticky keys feature" of Windoze.

BTW: I've got "dynamic core" activated in DOSBOX. If I use "full core", the problem still exists. So it _must_ be an issue with DOS32A...

Greets,

Addition:

the same thing happens under DOSBox for FreeBSD...

Strange...

You say it must be DOS32A but does that mean you tried the game with DOS4GW ?

Hi,

yes, I tried it with DOS4GW. But with it, my CPU usage goes up to 100% and more...

WBR,
Uri

Greetings,

I'm successfully using X-COM with latest DOSBOX CVS-build and the DOS32A-extender. Using 30000 CPU-Cycles, X-COM Apocalypse runs very smooth. And thanks to DOS32A my CPU-usage in Windoze is just 65%. Happy
(Against 100% and more using DOS4GW)

So far, so good.

But I've got a big problem. Everytime, during the game (regardless if it's the city view, tactical view or save game menu), I press a key on my keyboard once or several times (f.e. SHIFT-key) instantly my mouse/keyboard gets deactivated. That means the game itself continues running but I neither can move the mouse pointer nor use the keyboard further on. That's annoying as I can't enter a savegame or base name.

Strange problem...

Has anyone got this, too? And probably a solution for me?

Thanks and regrads,
Uri

Other people do seem to have it working, with dos32a

post 74 0n the thread, direct linking to it seems not to work, for me atleast.

mortenmarc, this topic is a year old though - it probably was still under 0.63 which gave problems for Apocalypse. I should probably try this game too - under 0.65 it was still a tad unstable and weird.
