How do I disable the stuttering in the Commander Keen games? Specifically, episodes 4 (Goodbye Galaxy) and later.
I tried turning on the in game option to reduce stuttering. It didn't work.
I tried editing the dosboxKeen.conf file and set fulldouble=true (because the info in that file said it would reduce stuttering. It didn't work.
I changed the output=overlay to the other options (like ddraw), but it didn't remove the stuttering.
I tried downloading another dosboxKeen.conf file that someone else posted. He said it would reduce stuttering because he set the cycles to 10000. However, it didn't work. The conf file was completely empty.
So, reinstalled and manually changed the cycles in the conf file from auto to 10000. It didn't work.
It looks like stuttering might be due to screen tearing. Either the game isn't updating fast enough or it's updating too fast. I tried forcing dosbox to use Vsync in my Nvidia control panel, but it had no effect.
Has anyone gotten it to play smoothly?
