Duke3D won't start under XP
Posted: Sun Feb 14, 2010 3:11 pm
I am trying to run Duke3D on a Win XP machine. Having carefully followed the instructions here:
http://buildxp.deathmask.net/
I have found that it will not start, no matter what I try. My machine is an HP Omibook 6000 laptop (PIII-700, 512MB) running WinXP SP3.
When clicking the Duke3D pre-configured VDMSound shortcut, the script runs NOLFB as expected and starts Duke3D, however the game fails at the end of initialisation with a "divide overflow" and the command prompt closes.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks
