rsitaly: Hello!

I have a normal modern system, with 4GB RAM and a GEFORCE GT240 video card with 1GB and I have the latest NVIDIA drivers of course.
My problem with the game is that the graphic is so bad that I found the game almost unplayable.
On the other hand, I have bought others old games here on GOG like the whole HOMM and AOW series and also the first editions look clear and sharp.
Another game, LORDS OF MAGIC, it is good to see and playable, but the screens are not so defined and clear like the ones here on GOG MOM page,

My question is:

Is there a way to improve the graohics quality of the old games?

Thanks in advance!

Nomad_Soul: One thing to try would be to use a scaler. Look for the dosbox configuration file for the game in your game directory (ends with .conf). It's called dosboxMOM.conf if memory serves. Make a backup copy of the file. Then open it with a text editor and look for the "scaler=" setting. Try setting it to scaler=hq3x for starters, save the file, and see how that works.

See the link below for more info:

rsitaly: I have tried but the result was the same ... scaler had the value nomal2x and I changed it in hd3x.
For me depends on the game itself ... the first HOMM1 was about the same period (2 years later) and the graphic is crytal clear.

Better graphics pretty much would require you to remake the graphics and graphics engine of the game. A filter can make graphics look better, but with MoM, great a game as it is, there really isn't much to work with for graphics.

PDF: I play it in a 1024*768 window with some scaler (don't remember which), it's playable...
