"Chaos Control" freezes #16

Open postalesdeamor opened 2 years ago

"Chaos Control" freezes some secons in this point (practically the beginning of the first phase): chaos_000

It could possibly happen at other points of the game.

Works well with DOSBox 0.74-3 standard.

Hello, I looked and i played for a hour, No Freeze. Show me your Config

Here you have it: Chaos Control.conf.txt

Thanks again for your support.

Hi Marty,

first of all, I have tested your config and the pause is drastically reduced, going from several seconds to maybe 500ms. But there is still a slight pause that does not happen in standard DosBox.

Second, comparing both config files and testing all the options one by one, I have found the determining factor:

core = full cycles = auto limit 30025

I had:

core = dynamic cycles = max

Once the problem has been determined, I have verified that the same effect is obtained keeping both options on "auto".

core = auto cycles = auto

But, as I mentioned at the beginning, a small pause of approximately 500ms continues to affect the game at that point using DosBox Optionals.

Greetings.
