Can you disable the sound?
Also try a CVS build (see the development forum) if you
didn't already.

ive been messin with the sound in several different ways. nothing helps.
i hadnt seen those CVS builds yet...they were interesting. i tried 3 of them, but they all give me the same error. was worth a shot though.

Have you tried allocating less memory? Negative values often mean that you are making more RAM available than the game can count, so it's wrapping around to something weird and causing an error.

yep, tried that. great avatar btw

Some other things to try:
use the full or dynamic core (dosbox.conf),
use xms=false, ems=false with very high (64)
and very low (2?) values
try the debugger enabled version, maybe there's
some usefull info around the crash in the logs

Does the same thing happen if you just start the game and
play for a while (that is no saving etc.)? Also try to have
loadfix loaded when testing this last thing.

well i found out the problem...it was a botched installation. my installshield has been flaky, and i recently fixed it (it was an odd problem). now that ive reinstalled the game again, i get no more crashes! now i can KILL WHOEVER I WANT!! YAY! ahem...anyway, thanks for the help all the same everybody. i had fun learning about dosbox.

Thanks for posting the solution to your problem. I'll have to add that to my list of common problem causes, as it's come up a few times on the forum lately.

I am curious as to what was wrong with the "flaky" installer and how it was fixed. Are you referring to the installer that comes with the game Harverster or something else?

Hm two year old thread? Nice resurrection.

Stop repeating your posts or you'll see some nicely closed threads.

Well, I figured it out. I just needed to change the setting
fullscreen=true to
fullscreen=false in the dosbox.conf file and everything worked beautifully. Very groovy, baby! 😁

Hey I'm having the same problem here with Harvester. I encounter crashes when ever the same specific characters become hostile. I've downloaded every dosbox cvs build I can find and still nothin'. Is there anything else I could put into the config file that would fix whatever is going wrong?!?

Yeah, this isn't *fixed* in the slightest, not here. I have done all of this stuff all day, including installing from dosbox, & not using the install outside of the dos installer. I'm having the exact same issues & even used all the things from the other threads were also tried that many others never seemed to fix are having the exact same issue with no results. Gawd, I wish there was more information on this.

Please if anyone has any info out there, share it, every place I use to go for info on this game are long gone this seems to be all that's left... 🙁

My dosbox runs everything fine until I make a violent move on anyone or they change from a neutral to violent state against me & (like they react to my violence or change into violence during conversation), the moment they do, it gives that image, & no way to play this game. 😠

Yeah, ANYONE who has this problem the issue is not the installer itself, it's the code made with the installer, it's not the copy, it's where you install the game. The problem arises if you install it ANYWHERE BUT c:\ DO NOT INSTALL in the SUGGESTED c:\HARVEST with the installer. I just wasn't made clear enough by the vague discussion that THAT is what the problem really is, sheesh. 😳 😁

This works fine if you install the game correctly as suggested by the various guides on the forum.

No it does not, this topic is entirely misleading. So are ALL the others I went through where you arrogantly deleted my post as well. Great place for help when this is all that's left. I was bumping it to further explain the method he went through & how I missed it and others may have as well.

I finally figured it out & was trying to HELP others who may have this issue, as the answer to this issue is exactly what I said.

If you even read what I just wrote, which you obviously didn't. It purely has to do with removing the "\HARVEST" sub-folder DURING the install, nothing to do with anything else stated in these threads.

It's very simple & although I am glad for the install FAQ (Mine's installed in a completely unique place working flawlessly but, the DOSBOX virtual INSTALL MUST be C:\ & NOT C:\HARVEST)this NEEDED to be explained as to what was really the issue here & it was merely hinted at in the thread where my post was deleted.

where you arrogantly deleted my post as well.

I've arrogantly deleted a one-line posting where you arrogantly resurrected a 3 years old thread
posting arrogantly identical information as in this thread.

NEEDED to be explained as to what was really the issue here

Yeah and instead of posting confusing information put the information into a nice shape
stating how you mounted the cdrom, how you mounted the c-drive, what steps during
the installation you took to get a flawless installation. THEN people can use this when
they are trying to install the game, and everybody will like you for your explicit guide
to installing this game.
