Daggerfall setup problem

Post by vorob »

Hi, i'm using this wonderful thing Daggerfall_:_DaggerfallSetup_EN but i would like to report a problem regarding wrong cpu cycles setup in dosbox config.

Setting it to MAX value (like it is in this setup) brakes movement mechanics on modern fast cpu's. It should be around 50% or 50 000 cycles. It would be great to see this fix in next release.

P.s. original page sends us (to give feedback) to original French forum (forum .wiwiland .net/index.php?/forum/287-daggerfallsetup/) but its impossible to register since control question is in French and Google give a facepalm translation.

I've just sent Ancestral Ghost a PM about your report via the XL Engine Forums, hopefully he will take notice of it soon.

Cycles can be set in the DosBox config to 50000. That's 50,000 if you are like me with zeroes :). I had this same problem and googled my problem and found someone that mentioned this so I tried it. It worked perfectly. I could move in water.. Jumping worked and controls returned to normal. This number can be changed according to your system but this is a good number to start with.

I'm sorry, I was very busy and didn't check either this forum or the XL Engine Forums. AncestralGhost hasn't replied (yet).
