Using my original CDs iso-ised to play on my netbook.

Using 'ddraw' display mode and 'sbpro2' audio as this seems to give best performance in both games. Oddly, No Regret seems to have a slightly higher framerate and less input lag. Not a big issue, since it's No Regret that I never finished and thus want to play...

... trouble is, the video cutscenes on No Regret stutter like hell and are unwatchable... tried using Big/Small Video options and 8Bit/16Bit Video options, nothing helps... and yet the fullscreen video on No Remorse was perfect.

Any ideas guys? I know the story isn't amazing in the sequel, but being able to watch the mission briefings at least would help!

Sithicus: Same problem here
I think they changed the video codecs (or whatever the dos equivalent was) for the sequel.

For what it's worth, I got the videos to work using a much higher cycle setting, but this renders the actual game unplayable. I guess the only hope is for improved auto-cycles in future dosbox versions.

Playing on my desktop is fine, BTW. Decent processor speed fixes everything (except Daggerfall) lol.

rjspring: Buy the GOG version.
I highly doubt that will solve anything. It's just the same thing running in a pre-configured dosbox, and most the GOG titles I've bought have needed tinkering with to work anyway.

I have the GOG version, in which I have the same problem. (I think it's dosbox related, my original Regret didn't use to to this - but that was way back when)

Try this DOSBox settings.

[sdl]
fullscreen=true
fulldouble=true
output=ddraw
mapperfile=mapper.txt

[render]
scaler=none

[cpu]
cycles=max
cycleup=1000
cycledown=1000

[mixer]
prebuffer=240

[midi]
device=default
config=

[sblaster]
irq=5

Thanks for that, I did finally give it a try but no real change in performance. I think Regret must use a more intensive video format which my netbook simply can't handle. I'll just have to get over it!

I have tried this settings and it works.
Basically I just copy what works in the Remorse and use it in the Regret.

Edit the dosboxREGRET.conf file and change the following:

output=overlay
memsize=32

I don't understand why but that works

Hey im planning on buying both games but i dont know if i should wait for a sale or just get em outright im new to GOG but i heard that when they do sales they usualy discount titles by the same dev/publisher so i just wanted to know what the chances are on origin or just the crusader games getting put on sale.

shit wrong topic

For anyone reading this thread, change the "output=ddraw" line in dosboxREGRET.conf to "output=opengl".
Nothing else is needed.

It worked for me. Thank you.

Setting output to overlay makes videos really small.
What worked for me was:
fullresolution=original

If you keep fullresolution to desktop it tries to scale the video to fullhd or 4k, whatever your desktop resolution is. If you set it to original it will use the old default (640x480 was it?).

setting output=opengl fixed it for me, thanks Matthew94
