Since I could play the game on my old ooold PC 15 years ago I expected it to work on my old 2006 PC also but it does not. Well, it works but its unplayble slow. The Origin logfo alone takes up to 40 min to load and the game usaly crashes before i can skip the intro that also is way to slow and sould take hours to play.

I have checked the rekomendations and it should work on my PC just barely but it does not. Is it because I have an intergrated graphic card? This is the only GoG game so far that I haven't been able to play.

Is there anything I can do? Why does it have so high system req?

have you tried pressing ctrl+F12 a few times ? This raises the dosbox emulation cyclecount (which will be needed in case of bad dosbox configuration in the installer ... if your processor can handle it)
I'm running it on an old Athlon XP @ 1.5GHz and its speed is fine.

Try changing the graphic output mode. There's a little program that GOG made to do this, look for it in your game's installation folder or on the start menu. The choices you should try are "surface", "direct3d" and "opengl".

I've been playing around with dosbox and my original Crusader CDs to try and get decent performance on my netbook (since both games only require keyboard, they're great on the go)

I found that setting dosbox output to 'ddraw' and soundcard to 'sbpro2' gave the best performance on my machine, which obviously has integratic graphics too. You need to set the soundcard settings in-game to match the dosbox settings by running the original installer/config exe via dosbox - I don't know if this is possible with the GOG version.

Two weird issues though - one, No Regret seems to run smoother than No Remorse. Not a biggie, just seems rather backwards lol.

My big problem is the video cutscenes. On No Remorse they work fine, even when video is set to 'large'. In No Regret, they stutter and are unwatchable regardless of Large/Small Video and 8bit/16bit Video options. No doubt I can still beat the game, but its a bit annoying since I never played through No Regret 'back in the day' and so the story would be appreciated.
