Thanks for the info, Toni.

Hopefully these issues can be fixed for "V1.9"!

That's why we use ModePro

Can i ask if you can fix it Tony? (This game seems really really good, reminds me of lands of lore)

Can you give me some advice on how to configure it properly for e.g. Evil´s Doom, please?

I installed ModePro and played around with some options but it doesn´t seem to have any effect...

Thanks in advance.

Fixing interlace issue should be easy but I am not sure if I am interested enough..

I don't think it works, game uses custom (non-system) copperlist.

It's really a great game, maybe the greatest AGA game (music is great, graphics are great, and dungeon animation is also great)
If you don't do it, i doubt anyone can.

So, here i ask you:
Please, please fix this issue

Come on people and let us ask Tony to fix this game.

So anyone loving the Amiga, and RPG's ask our one and only Tony for a patch.

it seems that game works WITHOUT gfx glitches if you run it on Kickstart 3.0 (v 39.106 A1200). It works for me very nice even if I softkick from 3.1 to 3.0!

The static section don't suffer much.
Did you get to the first dungeon? because the glitches are much more noticable there, making it unplayable.

amigoun · 29 May 2010, 21:05

What glitches do you exactly mean? I am talking of the interlace artifacts whitch cause somewhat distorted screen, forcing you to press a key (eg. spacebar) to get it ok. This kind of problem dissapears if I use KS3.0.
I have not tested any hard, but loaded some saves of course even in dungeons parts and seems to be ok for me.

amigoun · 29 May 2010, 21:17

Another solution is to use ModePro Commodity to promote game screen to specific resolution, in this case PAL Hires Laced 640x512px. This was mentioned by Wolfus earlier in this thread.
This fixes the problem even on KS3.1. But you must know how to configure ModePro.

If someone's interested here are the instructions for the version 1.8 of the game:
1. Install ModePro and restart amiga
2. Press lamiga+p to show the interface screen of ModePro utility
3. Under the Screen Names press Add and enter the name of the screen which is: Evil's Doom V1.8
4. Switch Promotion to Screenmode and Select Screen Mode to PAL:High Res Laced.
5. Enter right values for Width: 640 and Height: 512
6. You are done, click Save and you can play the game without the interlace bug problem

( If you use the other game variant provided here by Meynaf, the screen name is: Evil's Doom v1.0 ) The game does'nt multitask so the screen mode name must be entered correctly for the game to run fine.

As for me I test it with Indivision AGA scandoubler/flickerfixer so I have perfect stable screen..

Much thanks for the info.

It worked a treat for me using KS 3.0
Got rid of the interlace artifacts as well as the sound corruption I had on the first screen as soon as the game loaded.

Well, it works...almost.

ModePro patches the Evil´s Doom screens mostly correct.
From time to time the gfx glitches reappear, though.

This might be an OS 3.9 issue...

You are faster than me

Of course you have to adjust screen name according to version you use. And there are no problems under WB3.1.

Yep, it´s still there.

Intro doesn't flicker much on a CBM monitor. Perhaps this is just bad coding practice

This sometimes happens on real A1200 too.

Thorham · 31 May 2010, 11:27

Tried the game, and it doesn't work with SerMouse

Guess it's time to fix the A1200 mobo issue (mobo is different from my old mobo). Not hard to do, but I'll have to take my miggy apart again

Wish I had noticed this before closing everything up

Hi Zandig
So there is no interlace artifacts at all now (including inside the dungeon)?
