  • Barren Realms Elite Frustration

    From Dream Master@VERT/CIAD to All on Tue May 25 07:15:27 2021
    Good day! I've been running BRE v0.988 for some time and have noticed a slow down following the "Registration" but prior to the inquiry if you wish to display ANSI. The delay can be upwards of 5 minutes and remains inconsistent. My current dosemu.conf (/sbbs/ctrl/dosemu.conf) is pretty standard with a hogthreshold of 0. Modification of the threshold doesn't do anything prior to the actual gameplay. In the case of my system, this is occurring across four instances of BRE (different InterBBS games). OS Ubuntu Focal, Kernel 5.4.0-73, 4 cores, 8GB memory (yes, overkill, shhh).

    Any thoughts on these horrible delays would be appreciated. The other games (Falcon's Eye and The Arcadian Legends) do not experience this issue.

    Thank you!

    I remember that from years ago. I don't quite remember the solution but if you are currently reading dorinfo1.def try changing to door.sys or vice versa and see if that helps.

    Mine does not ask if I wish to display ANSI. I assume it is getting that
    info from the drop file I am passing it. Maybe you could try a different
    drop file format? I am passing my BRE games a DOOR.SYS file.
