Screamer 2 hangs

by Ari Koskeli » Sat, 30 Nov 1996 04:00:00

I have a problem with Screamer 2. After winning League 1, there
should be an animation of the winner etc., but my screen goes
blank (CD keeps playing), nothing happens and I have to reset the
computer. I've been playing the game from DOS, because I have a Matrox
Millennium, which performs much better in DOS than in Winbugs 95. I tried
using UNIVBE (version 5.3), but it didn't help. I also tried to start the
computer with less TSRs, no help there either. Game works fine in my
friends computer, though.

My computer's setup:    Pentium 200 MHz
                        Advanced/ML motherboard (bios version 1.00.07DB0)
                        32 Mbytes EDORAM
                        Matrox Millennium 4Mb (bios version 2.0)
                        Quantum Fireball TM3200A
                        Toshiba XM-5602B CD-ROM drive
                        Sound Blaster AWE 32 PnP

This seems to be a general bug.
It=B4s exactly the same on my, and a friend=B4s computer.
I did not find 'milestone' in the net, so I sent a mail
to *** Interactive, but I did not get any response...

This apparently is a known problem, I found the patch on their UK BBS
(44) 171 468 2022
It may well be on their Web Site too
