Hey there,
had fun with the unpopular Descent to Undermountain! I completed the first quest, but when I try to go back through the portal to get to the dungeon hub, the game crashes and says:
Not enough memory to load DTU.EGG polygon
I then tried to start the game with entering "loadfix dtugame" with DOSBox (also with loadfix -32 or -1) but it always crashes with the same error when I try to enter the portal to the hub.
mem says I got:
568 kb free conventional memory
63 kb free upper memory in 1 blocks
14912 kb free extended and expanded memory
The game says when starting up:
Available memory
Conventional: 538 kb
Extended: 14,912 kb
Virtual: 0 kb
PCGamingWiki says this game needs 16MB System memory RAM (https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Descent_to_Undermountain)
Any ideas what I could try? Using DOSBox Staging on a Macbook which runs fine with other games. I know Descent to Undermountain is a complete broken mess, but I'd really like to get it running.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Sorry, forgot to mark this as a Question :(
EDIT2: Solved After a long search as a Mac noob for the DOS Box conf file on my M1 MacBook (tip: use spotlight and search for "~/Library/Preferences"), I edited the memsize from 16 to 16000. Now it works!
