"Omg another issue about SW?"
YES!

The Issue
Okay sorry for making another post about syndicate wars...
but all i have is that when i finish the first mission, either as Church or EuroCorp, it crashes.
Closes game and sends me back to the Dos,
not able to do anything and computer is all frozen up,
and the cursor is gone...
and not a single action on the keyboard works... (even hitting it with a hammer works)
so the only thing i can do is to restart computer...

Hidden clown:
poke your nose 3 times and the clown will appear on the screen... it's true... it will happen!

I used the following:
Running Syndicate Wars with DosBox
DosBox v0.72 for Win
Win XP
~2.4 Gb Ram (my comp keeps changing this, but this is around the max)
AMD Athlon 64 4000+ (i think...)
ATI Radeon RX2600XT T2D256EZ (my gfx card, google for more info)
DXDIAG: none for dl yet 😖

Please can anyone help?

Once again sorry for asking,
but it seems like this is the only issue about mission crashing

Random signature goes here.

Heyas.

Found this thread (or forums rather) via google search, as I have the exact same problem...

I tried out a couple downloaded versions, they all exit after completion of first level,
as well as the installation from my original SWars CD, exits as well, therefore doubt it's a corrupted version.

I think rather it may be a dosbox 0.72 problem, as all posts I read with SWars functioning is with either
0.65 or 0.70.
Anyone know a link where I can find a version of those to download?

good
first few pages show 0.72
some pages look rather dodgy, showing older versions,
exactly the reason I asked here, thinking some of you might know a more
trustworthy site instead of lmgtgy rubbish

Maybe your Googgle-foo is different than mine, but the first hit I got from that LMGTFY is the official DOSBox download page. And on that page, I definitely see a link to "Old dosbox versions".
