Just like Dark Forces which uses a similar engine, the frame-rate causes motion-sickness. Also, this is another extremely annoying thing with Outlaws AND Dark Forces is that when it goes full-screen it changes the desktop window sizes of all opened windows and moves desktop icons about... and these changes are SAVED! So every time you open Explorer or other window Application you have to manually re-adjust the size. The game looked alright so I decided to give it a go. It's peculiar aiming; even though the gun is aiming straight and there's iron-sights, the crosshair doesn't align with ironsights. Pity. It's very easy to die so saving often is a good idea. Typical 'find the key/switch' maps which get excruciatingly tedious at times. For a 90s shooter it's not too bad --- IF it didn't make me feel like vomiting after playing it for more than 15 mins. Can't recommend it as it currently is. 1/5
There's a couple of issues with the game version set-up as of May, 2018. First there doesn't seem to be a link to access settings for custom key-binding after install. Some forums online even direct people to use a Hex Editor to modify the setting file which is ridiculous. Just copy the Dark Forces desktop link and right-click & goto [Properties] and in the section where it says [-conf "..dosbox_DF_single.conf"] change that to [-conf "..dosbox_DF_settings.conf"] and click [OK] Now when you open that link it will open the DOS Settings and you can modify some of the keys & mouse buttons. Second: The default framerate is so low that playing the game can cause a type of motion sickness. There's not really much of a workaround to this but I found.. If you navigate to the game install directory and open [dosbox_DF.conf] with Notepad or a text-editor, then scroll down to [Render] and change as follows: frameskip=2 aspect=true scaler=hq3x This [scaler] will blend pixels to make them look smoother and the [frameskip] seems to help a small bit by making the rendered game jump less. I've noticed an improvement anyway. I also recommend changing [fullscreen=false] under [sdl] .. you can always toggle between full-screen and windowed using [Alt + Return]. Lastly is fixing mouse look and mouse buttons (default game settings have limited options) I recommend checking out: https://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Star_Wars:_Dark_Forces#Modern_control_scheme_.2B_v-look_for_mouse_.28DOSBox.29 and https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=286364447
