Windows 7 Ultimate, Daggerfall and Dosbox

Post » Sat Feb 19, 2011 8:15 am

I have Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and when I try and play Daggerfall in dosbox, the game will crash after a couple of minutes. Is dosbox not compatible with Windows 7?

Using Windows 7 Ultimate x64 RC Build 7100, and Daggerfall has always worked fine with Dosbox for me. The problem's with your PC, I think.

I used Win7 RC too and now I'm on Pro 64b or something... anyway, no problems here. Maybe your configuration is wrong. Did you get the latest version of Dosbox? It's 73 now I think.

Same with me (W7 x64 7100), and it works just fine. Do you have the most recent version of DOSbox?

Don't know much about that stuff but there is a line in Dosbox.conf, under [dosbox] memsize=xx. Is yours set to 64?

While I'm not sure what the problem is, I'm pretty sure that isn't it. I wonder if perhaps the game download is corrupted in some way. That was initially very common with downloads done from Bethesda's site because of all the traffic.
