Carmageddon/Splat Pack buggies, for what they're worth :cool: 1. The windshield on Die Anna's car (Hawk) from Carmageddon 1 is no longer reflective but matted gray. Interesting enough, this doesn't happen in "Splat Pack", the official addon. 2. The bloody hand pointer turns into a glitchy square in …

Thanks everyone, but I'm already aware of the workarounds. As I said before, I just thought it would be convenient to have this option available for the official DosBox.

In case you haven't done this already, try disabling whatever graphics enhancement you may have turned on. Don't resample, rescale, resize or apply any sort of postprocessing, it must look like it would on a real DOS machine, then go fullscreen. Download the picture below, open it with you fave …

If you're experiencing problems during the installation of a specific game, you can always ask for help in the right section of the forum, no need to have people document the installation process for every game out there, it would take longer than we have years to live.

It's the alpha version of a data management application developed by a company I worked for back in early 90's. Not really useful for anybody except the people who bought it since it was entirely customized.

This is not my problem (thank god for that!), but still i wonder... Why are you mounting something in the first place, when your app is having problems with that mount? How is it possible that a DOS app has problems with floppy disks? I mean, FDD's were in _every_ DOS PC. Maybe Qbix has some kind …

What? What use would it be to unmount a drive while you're running a (presumably DOS) app? I could understand a question about how to swap the medium in an emulated drive, though. Besides, z:\ is the drive where DOSBox stores it's internal stuff, i don't think if it's even possible to unmount it. …

Say I must unmount all the floppy disk images but I can't access Z:\ because I'm still running the application; how would I go about doing this? Thanks in advance.

This one is old as sin and incomplete/inconsistent with what's being suggested in the ini file from the current Glidos installation. I'd be specially interested in the highest possible values for settings such as TextureMemorySize. Thanks.

Start the first level, enter the stadium and run over some peds. Now instead of bloody (red) tire tracks, you get black tire tracks. Can something be done about this?

Hello! So I bought this Carmageddon CD some time in last 5 years or so and only recently found out about Glidos... I can get it to run, but until now haven't figured out how is it with SplatPack. It's said SP is already included in this version of the CD, but I can't seem to find any of the tracks …

OpenGlide is indeed slower, but after playing around with the driver settings (Forceware + Geforce 6600), I discovered that I could drastically help my framerate by disabling Triple Buffering :) As for the other issues, I have experienced the transparent rectangle thing and the menu fuckup, which …

It seems to change from dark to bright depending on the camera angle and the maps look overally darker than they should. No idea what's going on. XP Pro SP2 + Gefore 6600 + Glidos 1.41 in OpenGlide mode. Can anybody confirm? 😐
