Hello everyone,

As the title suggests, my Dark Forces returned to desktop a few seconds before the mission loading screen appears. I can create an agent, read the briefing and click on the button to begin the mission bu no much more.

I am on Linux but i am not sure it is OS specific.

I simply solved the issue by editing the dosbox_DF.conf file.

Find the line in the [cpu] block which says core=auto (or whatever). And just replace it by core=normal. Do not touch the rest.

It worked for me, i hope it helps.

Thank you very much for posting this, Daedalusgog! Your solution worked! I had the same problem. I am using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Linux.

Thank you, Daedalusgog. This also got me into the first mission!

Thank you so much! I really appreciate you posting this solution, I was so disappointed that DF kept crashing. Happy to report it is now working on Kubuntu 18.04! May the force be with you!
