Shadow of the Beast 3 - crash in intro

[hoborg]

Hello.
Just found something.
Shadow of the Beast 3 - in intro, game crash when lightning strikes airplane.
I am usin latest WinUAE + WHDload version (slave 1.30)





After that, game crash back to CLI:


I have no idea if this is WinUAE or WHDLoad problem.
Anybody can try it on real amiga?

Thanks
HOBORG

PS: Sorry for my english.

It would probably help if you tell us what config you're using

Just tried the Intro with my Gamebase Amiga setup. It doesn't crash, but the intro hooks like a scratchy CD, after the plane was hit by the lightning.

Yes. Keep it longer, and game crash.

When WHDLoad starts, there is writen "Intro sequence fixed"...

[Retro-Nerd]

Just tested my own install under OS 3.9, the intro works fine, no special settings, only a fast emulated amiga.

But i noticed that Gamebase Amiga uses a cycle exact setting for the A1200, this is not good.

[Hanzi]

Did you try changing theese settings :

cpu_cycle_exact=false
blitter_cycle_exact=false

Yes, nothing changes.

[Retro-Nerd]

Why do you use an adjustable CPU timing, it works with Fastest possible... ?

Becouse if "Fastest possible" is used, there are ingame graphics glitches.

[killergorilla]

I don't experience any graphical glitches with SOTB and I always have Fastest Possible ticked.

This is possible, but we are talking about the intro. Maybe you should use the CPU timing slider AFTER the intro.

Fastest Possible enabled: (need to visit place on screenshot)

As i write before, i tried many things (fastet possible included), but intro always crash :-/

[killergorilla]

Weird, I've never experienced that on my default whdload config

[Retro-Nerd]

I know this specific graphic glitch, but i never found more, later on. The intro works fine, at least for me.

That was part of my attempts to fix the intro problem, unfortunately it always errors as described, although if you press fire at that point it will load the game fine.

I've also had the ingame graphic glitches especially in the area in the above screenshot, which Cycle Exact seemed to help with although it's still not perfect.

Well, no efect for me

[Belgarath]

Makes no difference here either.

I notice it says the intro was fixed by Galahad.. So let's all blame him
