Hello,
I am trying to play Battlecruiser 3000AD 2.09. The game runs fine in DOSBox except for one problem - when moving through menus they can take minutes sometimes to load. This includes creating a new game and loading any of the ship menus. Normally in DOS this would take moments if not instant. I've ran it in dosbox-x with -debug, though the exact same results happens with a vanilla version of DosBox .74 (I've tried on Windows and Linux)
It doesn't seem to matter the output or the scaler I use, I've tried on a i5-4200U/Intel 4400 and a i5-4790k/GTX 970 and has the same results.
Here is a pastebin of dosbox-x output: http://pastebin.com/raw/wbcPG08q
Here is a video of how long it takes to load these menus: https://youtu.be/0xnBOO8Z1Eo
The game itself is freeware, you can grab a archive of it here https://www.dropbox.com/s/ncxckdnnkj341eg/BC3000AD.zip?dl=0 or the official freeware installer here https://gamefront.online/files/1188144/BC3K209FREE.EXE
Any help would be appreciated
