uhh is there a reason now all the game is now is a blackscreen when i try to play it?! menu works but gameplay screen is just black execpt for hud

Thanx,
I thought dosbox was just the command prompt...
Won't make that mistake again!

maybe its just my comp and its cursed windows XP but it seems to enjoy doing a sticky key on some controls. latest of thats when i was shooting a turret dead and dodging the lasers it spat. i couldnt get it under control and was forced to quit. and for some odd reason it wont let me save.......

Are you running the game in DOSbox? It will only run smoothly in that program. Remember you can get it from this site

Highly recommend D-Fend as a front-end for DOSBox.

(I posted this to the troubleshooting as well)

I'm running crusader: no remorse with DOSbox (of course...) and the D-Fend frontend. It runs fairly well, but won't let me use the save options (neither quicksave nor conventional save). When I try to save, it crashes to the "dos" screen with the following error message:

Halted file FILE/FILE.C line 61
Unable to create file. error #3

Does anyone know what's wrong?

BTW, crusader: no regret works better, lets me save - but won't play music! only sounds! I do prefer a music-less game to a save-less game, though

I'm not all that technical that I pretend to be, but could it be that the front end thingy somehow makes DOSbox incompatible to the game?

Crusader - No Remorse is one of those games, that walk the tight line between success and failure. If you change just a little thing with the game it will "self-destruct" and you have to start all over again. The saving option works for me with my DOSbox (I do not have that front end thing).

Another thing that you might like to hear is that (if rumours are true) DOSbox 0.62 will be released within a month.

The FILE/FILE.C error you're speaking of is due to there not being a SAVEGAME directory inside the Crusader folder. Create one and the game will run fine. I have just one question though: How in the $*)#@ can you get the movies to work? I set up a Win 95 box (yes, vintage) with DOS and it seems to hate me. Should I just go ahead and try to get Crusader to work on my XP computer via DOSBox or is there something I'm doing wrong?

Has anyone else had a problem with the keyboard locking up? I can be playing Crusader fine, then suddenly the character get stuck on whatever I am pressing, the keyboard stops working and the mouse is the only control that works. (The keyboard stops completely, can't even access menu. The only thing that works then is ctrl-alt-delete).
My computer is a very new one, and powerful, and I am running the game through dosbox. Game speed is fine, and i have sorted the no save problem, so now this! Any ideas, anybody?

that is a bug in dosbox.
I have a strong feeling that it will be fixed in the next dosbox version
