Hi!

I'm not really sure when this happened but suddenly anything that used DosBox won't run. I see the whole DosBox logo, the screen goes black, then this error pops up.

I only realized this because I purchased games today from the summer sale and many will not play.

Effected games are:

Blood: one unit whole blood
Gabriel Knight
Hexen: beyond....
Hexen: shadow of....
Hexen: II
Heretic
Wolfenstein
Wolfe stein 3D
Wolfenstein Spear of destiny
Arx Fatalis

Also: Lucas arts games that used to work fine are now playing audio but no picture. The screen remains black.

Games include:
Loom
The dig
Indy and fate of atlantas
Indy and last crusade
Etc.

Using a laptop, i7, 8gb ram, integrated Intel graphics card, running Windows 10.

Please help! I'm very bad with Computers and am at a loss for what to do!

I don't think The Dig uses DosBox on Steam....

Anyway as far as The Dig goes (and PROBABLY Loom, and Indy games as well) you can try using the ScummVM engine. Just tested it a minute ago and works fine with this version of The Dig.

ScummVM is free, just google it.

Once you install it click "add game" find The Dig's main folder and confirm the selection (you don't have to choose the exe file, just navigate to the main folder where it is located). The game should show up on the list. Choose the game and click start.

As far as DosBOX goes I think you might have more luck describing your problem on their forums.

SO this problem kinda bloomed into more crazyness. I posted the same thing elsewhere and this is where we are now: https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/1/2592234299531796223/

So i figured out that the lucas arts games work, but only in windowed mode. When i hit alt+enter for fill screen i still hear music but everything is black.

I do have scumm that I use for my GOG version of Kings Quest VI(?).

Scumm VM will NOT play the Steam versions of the games. It shows the exe for the game but its greyed out

I take that back! I had to click "show hidden files" and it pops right up.

Just tried indy and the dig. Both go fullscreen. I feel it looks bad though, maybe its in my head but yeah, seems fuzzy

It looks bad because it dosnt want to let me play in 4:3, it streaches to 16:9

Treid changin options in scumm interface, no dice,

Hello. It simple to work through steam in 16:9 or 4:3 and smooth or not.
You need change Windows Registry. Type in console regedit and find "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\LucasArts\\The Dig".
Fixaspctratio change 16:9 or 4:3 (0 or 1) and smoothgraphics change smooth filter (0 or 1).
Sorry for me English.
