The problem seems fixed for me with this profile? Great, I've only tested it briefly, but it really does look like it's fixed. Did you edit the profile somehow or just use one of the ones gothic posted for this game? ghotik' profile rarely works for me, or if it works, in a broken manner. So I end …

Was the blinking cursor a problem even? I think other RTS games had such an effect. I remember seeing some discussions about a similar problem in some other games, but I first encountered it with this point and click adventure. Of course there are worse technical issues, but that doesn't mean it …

By the way, even DxWnd allows to limit the CPU speed and it didn't help. And in PCem I get cursor flickering similar to when I run the game natively in Windows 10. Here is a video from PCem. https://www.mediafire.com/file/2lnvaq8arpe64b8/Fable_-_PCem_test.zip/file You still misunderstand the …

The blinking cursor seems to not be blinking all that much. It's quite distracting, especially when the arrow cursor switches to other indicators while playing and they all flicker. How does the version on REMOVED compare? It seems the same to me. The cursor is fine here too, but the audio is again …

No, it's definitely the processor clock speed. The difference between emulating a Pentium 75 and running natively is huge. There is almost no cursor flicker in PCem. I would be cautious about definitive conclusions in this case. If you read the discussion on the DxWnd site I linked to , the author …

Yes, I know how to use DOSBox, and I described a different problem than not being able to run the game. I've recorded two short videos for comparison - one is from the Windows version and the other from the DOS version in DOSBox. In the first one you can see the cursor flickering, but the sound is …

I've spent several hours testing Fable (a point and click 2D adventure game from 1996) on a modern computer and have run into problems that might interest some tech-savvy Vogons visitors. The game is not currently for sale on any digital platform, and has a CD version that allows both DOS and …

I've finally tried draft's tutorial and can confirm that it solves the problem I had with the sound, so thanks for the helpful info. It was one of the last old point and click adventure games on my list that didn't run properly on a modern computer. I agree with BEEN_Nath_58 that there will always …

Thanks, I tried it, but no change. I also tried to disable Win10 audio enhancements and made sure that I have the latest sound driver. I'm not sure if this issue is on my PC only (but I have no sound problem with other games) or if it's the game bug.

I try to play on Windows 10 point and click adventure Martin Mystère: Operation Dorian Gray from 2006 (known as "Crime Stories: From the Files of Martin Mystere" in North America). The game uses obsolete Direct3D Retained Mode and was always difficult to run on modern systems. I found this info how …
