Hi all people.!

first of all.....sorry for my bad english.....i'm italian and a nostalgic gamer who sometimes remember some games played when i was child......i miss those times 😀

By the way.......i opened this topic because i've got a problem with DosBox that was not never appear before a month about...

Indeed, DosBox caused stuttering and video artifacts ONLY when i try to play in fullscreen mode.

Mainly.....two of the most my favorite games are MDK and Blood.

Blood.......cause stuttering and video artifacts about every time i grab an item ( ammo, life essence.....ecc ) 😳

MDK instead, such as Blood, start to have stuttering and video problems already in the main menù 😳

bah....i don't understand .....i don't remember fine when this started....about a month ago. Before this period i played perfect Blood on Fullscreen......and 1024x768 too. The problem must be software for SURE i think because my PC is powerful ( Q6600, 4gb Ram ecc.....)

Playing at 640x480 windowed mode is annoying

I'm using Vista x64 and all update driver

Thanks to those who will help me

Change output=xxxx to something else like ddraw.

Intel i7 5960X
Gigabye GA-X99-Gaming 5
8 GB DDR4 (2100)
8 GB GeForce GTX 1070 G1 Gaming (Gigabyte)

The problem has been resolved!

the flaw was really that of the output=surface.

Now have put him in "ddraw" as you have told me and works to the perfection!

thanks so many 🤣

Would you have fun doing some testing? Like trying older sdl.dlls and stuff?
