Well, I didn't run it from straight DOS, but from Windows 98. I don't really know what VDMsound is, but I know that i'm certainly not using DOSbox, and my sound card is Soundblaster.

I'm glad that I got it to work, but I have no idea why it crashed that first time. And I appreciate your concern.

Abuse is a primarily DOS-based game, so crashes may occur when trying to run it in Windows. However, as you have Win 98, you can reboot your computer into pure DOS mode and run the game from there.

These two topics should help a bit:
How to configure DOS for gaming
Win98 - Memory
Another option is to use Abandonia's bootdisk.

Thanks a bunch...i've always had trouble understanding DOS...stupid microsoft...

[size=2] :unsure: Hy guys!I just wanna' ask ya' how can i set the sound in Abuse, because my game seems to have no sound.Please help me!Thank you! :ok:

What OS do you have? Are you using VDMSound or DosBox?

Im using DosBox on XP, however the gameply is choppy. Which framerate should i use? Im having some trouble setting the right framerate on most games, i have to go by trial and error, any tips?

Rather try to adjust the cycles than the framerate. That should do it. :ok:

EDIT: That is done by Crtl+F12 (up) and Crtl+F11 (down)

just downloaded it
and its amazing!

probably the best action game ive ever played ;)

Wow, cant believe theres still ppl out there playing this ^_^! and some that have only recently discovered it :-o

I remember getting a demo of this game from a mag cd in the mid 90s and insanely enough it included the editor!!! I was hooked... man the amount of time I spent making lvls hehe...

Well a decade on and I just went about downloading it! Without any messing about the game just worked (frabs)! However, I am having a slight problem trying to adjust the res :s (320x200 or whatever the default is looks pretty freaking awful on a 30'' widescreen >< LOL) the commands for changing it dont seem to work (-size xxxx yyyy), nor can I get it to work in a window...

Dont think they envisioned such machines a decade ago ;-) Perhaps I should be using some mod to run it? Im currently running it direct from XP. Any thoughts or feedback would be appreicated xD

Try using DosBox or VDMSound to run the game. You can get them from our programs page.
