Stuttering FMV in Tomb Raider

[andylatham82]

The FMV cutscenes in the original Tomb Raider stutter using Optionals, whereas they are fine with other builds of DOSBox. I have tried altering every option I can think to alter, but nothing makes a difference. The stuttering seems less towards the end of each cutscene.

Here's an example:

And this is the conf file I'm using: TombRaiderConfFile.txt

I had the same problem with "Goblins 3" and solved setting: "goldplay=true".

Thanks @postalesdeamor but sadly that hasn't fixed it for me.

Ok @andylatham82 just today I have installed "Blam! Machinehead" and had that same problem in the intro video. And this time I have found two possible solutions.

option A) setting: "DSP-DMA.Playback = false"

option B) select a Sound Blaster PRO as audio card instead a SB16.

Greetings.

Thanks for the ideas @postalesdeamor but unfortunately neither option fixed the stuttering :(

I have tested "Tomb Raider" with DOSBox Optionals, and intro video plays without stutter. Try another version/edition/ISO of this game.

Oh wow, that's surprising. I will try another version as soon as I can, thanks!
