The game just hangs with no change in the video. This has been reproducable here in BOCA under OS/2 2.11 and OS/2 WARP 3.0. Enviroment: . OS/2 Warp 3.0 or OS/2 2.11 . Dos Full Screen Settings: . Audio Adapter Sharing: On DOS_HIGH: On DOS_UMB: On DPMI_MEMORY_LIMIT: 64 EMS_MEMORY_LIMIT: 4096 HW_TIMER: On Idle_seconds: 60 Idle_sens..: 100 Int_during_io: on Video XGA 8514 IO trap: OFF Video Retrace Emulation: OFF XMS MEMORY: 4096 . .

Reel Magic Mpeg card. Jovian Super VIA ( Video Capture card) . I don't think that it is sound card dependent. . However thee DEMO of the game will run under OS/2 2.11 and OS/2 WARP 3.0 with sound. The GA released will not run at all. LOCAL FIX: Workaround: Possible suggestion: Configure the game not to use any sound at all.
