Game Specific Bugs
Problem - Game Crashes On Launch:
EarthSiege installs in DOSBox with no trouble, but crashes immediately when launched in DOSBox. During install,
the audio hardware detected by SOUNDSET.EXE is Gravis Ultra Sound.
Solution #1:
Apply this patch.
Solution #2:
If GUS is disabled in the dosbox.conf, SOUNDSET will detect SoundBlaster 16. The game will work with SoundBlaster
16.
Problem - Campaign 4 Mission 8 Lockup:
The game locksup during mission usually around Campaign 4 Mission 8 after the Expansion Pack is installed.
Solution:
Apply this patch.
Problem - Introduction Plays Too Fast:
The introduction races by at a fast rate.
Solution:
Check your soundcard settings in the dosbox.conf. The CD version of this game requires a sound card with digital
to analog conversion (DAC) to play the introduction properly. Without a sound card the introduction will race
by, and there may be a loud humming sound from the PC speaker. This will also occur with a sound card that
is incompatible, or improperly set up.
Problem - Intro Dosen't Play Right:
After loading the Expansion Pack, the introduction has changed to a series of still frames.
Solution:
Using the disk version of the Expansion Pack with the CD version of the game disables the introduction. This
is normal.
