Problem with settlers 1

Problem with settlers 1

[Benjamin Schieder]

Hello again.

I'm trying to play settlers 1 using dosemu. It works just fine on my desktop
machine, I can save the game just fine.

Now, if I play it on my laptop with the same dosemu version (1.2.2) and the very
same .dosemu directory and .dosemurc file (copied it over using tar cf and tar
xf) settlers 1 complains that it can't save. The game (not dosemu) gives the
error filesystem full or write-protected. It creates a savefile though, but when
I try to load it, dosemu crashes.


Any ideas?


Thanks in advance,
	Benjamin

This was fixed in 1.3.2 by
someone's request on BTS:

Wasn't this your own request by
any chance? If not - just upgrade
your dosemu and enjoy.

HOORAY! \o/
I just updated and it works fine.
Just another question: why did this work on the other machine (P4, 1GB Ram,
kernel 2.6.11.8) but not on the laptop (P-Mobile, 512 MB Ram, kernel 2.6.10).

No, it wasn't me. I'd have probably remembered... at least I hope so.


Thank you,

Maybe you have the
/proc/sys/vm/legacy_va_layout
enabled on the machine where it
works? I can't think of any other
reasons. It shouldn't work with
the flexmmap layout, so the
legacy layout might have been
enabled on that machine.

a cat on that file gives '0' on both machines.
Well, nevermind, it works and I'm happy :)
