I can't find a sticky or anything but I just installed Pagan Ultima VIII (and Dungeon Keeper) and they both have a big green overlay over a load of distortion. If I use Task Manager, it reduces to a tiny window and Pagan looks like I remember it, but the window is far too small to play.

Is there any advice on changing the DOSBox setup to get it to run properly? i have agreat build for Daggerfall that smoothes out the blockiness of the grapuics and text as well, but this auto-installed DOSBox from GOG seems to be very different.

My system is
Asus Maximus IV Extreme-Z
Intel i7 2600K 3.40 GHz overclocked @3.8 GHz
8GB Corsair Vengeance PC3 2133MHz DDR3 RAM
AMD Radeon HD 7970 3072MB
Catalyst 12.8
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Pro
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit



Many Thanks

I've replied twice but they won't go through! What is up?

Anyway, changed to "Surface" and fixed, but cant get it full screen more than 3x the original. Do you know the original reolution?

The original resolution was 320x200. I use overlay for the output method and then set my window resolution to 1280x1024 and just run the game in a window (otherwise it gets stretched all outta shape on my widescreen monitor.) The scaler I use is normal3x and I don't think there's a DOSBox scaler that goes higher than that.

Cheers,

I managed to get it properly full screen on my 1920x1200 monitor by using OpenGL with no scaler at all (1920x1200 is a multiple of 320x200, but you can probably do it with a 1920x1080 by keeping Aspect Ratio). The Radeon I can configure to run using full screen or centre timings with original aspect ratio, so maybe that is why.

These are the changes I made in dosboxULTIMA8UK.conf:

[sdl]
fullscreen=true
fulldouble=false
fullresolution=1920x1200
windowresolution=1920x1200
output=OpenGL

[render]
frameskip=0
aspect=true
scaler=


If I use hq3x or any other shader, it reduces to image size.

All I need now is to get a higher resolution as although I loved the game in 1994, with no world map accessible, I need a wider field of view these days!

Ooh, my age...


Many Thanks
