Hmm, tried lowering the CPU cycles?
Also perhaps try this:
Find in dosbox.conf a line that looks like this - "output=surface". Above you should see the available options.
"# output -- What to use for output: surface,overlay,opengl,openglnb,ddraw."
Try experimenting with them. If that doesn't help, well, :help:

Hi.

If anyone is intersted you can get NPC's to use as your characters. This works in Arkania I, I'm not sure about part II. Just use Dos-prompt to copy the files renamed as .chr instead of .npc - ie. in the directory with the character info "copy *.npc *.chr". If you want to transfer them to the next game in the series, you need to open a game add those new characters to your team and save it again, then transfer the save game file.

I don't know if you're still looking for a Blades of Destiny manual but you can find one on www.the-underdogs.org

Cool site you have here.

Forgot to add,

Is anyone going to upload Arkania III onto this site? I thought that it was protected by copyright law so I was surprised when I read that. If you do I'd be interested in knowing how you get on with the music aspect.

Thanks for your help, i'll give it a try!

Hi. I had a question about the game play itself. I played this game years ago and really liked it. My favorite part was character creation. I just downloaded the game and got it to run under XP (although with no sound and the mouse is funky) and went and created a couple of characters. But I never got past the first screen with the attributes to the skill selection screens. I thought I remembered being able to select skills at initial character creation, but does upgrading skills not come until you get a level up?

Thanks.

You have to run the game on advanced mode, not normal difficulty.

Oh yeah. I forgot all about that. Thanks very much!

Did the person who had the flashing combat screen fix it? How did you do it? I have this problem and changing the framerate in dosbox didn't work for me.

thanks if you can help.

Use the Fix program that was also included in the zip file.
