Hey all,

I'm not new to this series--played them when they were originally released as well as through dosbox very recently. I decided to buy the gog version today since they've added the 1994 collectors cd version but I'm having a bit of trouble with lag and slowdown. Never had this issue before, I have my cycles set to max and all dosbox settings are the default ones that come with the game. I'm not sure why it's doing this. I ran the setup and changed the music to general midi but I can't see why that would cause such slowdown.

Any suggestions would be wonderful!


EDIT: Changing output from surface to ddraw in the dosbox config seems to have fixed the issue.

I'll second this fix. I had the same issue until changing to ddraw.

THANKS, B1inky !!

Thanks for posting this.
This has made the game so much better (and easier) for me now.

ddraw adds some filtering which can blur the graphics.
Using openglnb will avoid this while still giving smooth gameplay.
