hi guys!
just wanted to report how I fixed my own problem, hope it help somebody to enjoy this cool game.
Problem description:
only in Fullscreen mode: video had extreme artifacts and slowdown during transitions between different video files. (eg. at the Intro between the "Origin Logo" part and the "Wing Commander Logo" part, and also ingame.)
This problem occured about 3 out of 4 times when I start Dosbox and give it another go.
Solution
edit dosbox config:
[sdl]
fullscreen=true
fulldouble=true
fullresolution=original
windowresolution=original
output=opengl
autolock=true
sensitivity=100
waitonerror=true
priority=higher,normal
mapperfile=mapper.txt
usescancodes=true
# - I switched to Double Buffering and openGL, that seemed to fix it!
[cpu]
core=auto
cputype=auto
cycles=50000
# - runs smooth like a baby, maybe a few more cycles will do even better.
My PC is pretty fast, so this may only work if yours is about the same:
specs:
Core2Duo E8500 @3166MHz
4GB RAm
GeForce GTX 285 (1GB Ram)
Asus P5Q Pro Board
Windows XP PRo SP2
