Hello.

My Syndicate Wars came with dos4gw 1.97, and pressing a key in the intro doesn't crash anything.

Is this possible to get that Syndicate
somewhere?

Syndicate Wars under the latest CVS version is still too fast to be playable - no change from 1.2.1 nor 1.3.1

OK, then you can try the slowdown
patches from here:

I'm running a dual athlon mp 2400+

Wow, are you sure it works properly
(not too fast) under the pure DOS
without dosemu?

I got my copy off my swars cdrom. I can put a tarball up for grabs, but the thing is 100mb, bzipped. I could rip out the movies, but it's really the maps that are taking up the space. On that same note, is it possible to get your version of swars somewhere?

Thanks, will do, though these patches are from newyear's of 2004- will they apply? I guess I'll find out.

Don't know. Well, I'd try if I had a dos floppy. I guess you're right, I should make myself a bootable freedos floppy and try this out, to be sure it's not a game bug. I'll try this and get back to you.

Cheers,
Kacper
