Hey there.

The game crashes with a segmentation-fault while loading the first level, terminal message reads as follows:

"
./dosbox/dosbox: line 14: 28996 Segmentation fault (core dumped) "${CURRENT_DIR}/dosbox_x86_64" "$@"
Done.
"

The funny part about this is that the demo from Abandonia hasn't got that problem.
I also tried running it with my local dosbox version (which confirmedly works with the demo), producing the same result.

Further… the game seems ok overall; I have not noticed any wrong colors or missing sound.

I've tried changing the output as well as the render modes to no avail.

I run an up-to-date Arch Linux on an Intel machine with a NVIDIA graphics card, which shouldn't really be relevant.

Hi Markus_Glanzer,

Have you tried running the game windowed? You can do so by modifying dosbox_DF.conf file and changing the following line:

fullscreen=true

to

fullscreen=false

If that won't do, please contact our support at https://support.gog.com and attach your detailed system report to the message (it can be generated using a script that you will find in the game installation folder).

I would try the following:

* Set xms, ems and umb to false in your dosbox .conf file. If that doesn't help, set them back to true.

* Replace dosbox.exe with an SVN version. I prefer DOSBox SVN Daum. It has a Linux version.

* If an SVN version doesn't solve it, try an older official DOSBox, like v0.72 or even a v.0.6x.

Pardon me for necroposting but i had a very similar problem. So please allow me to post again my solution:

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.
