Choosername: Feel free to lift this one to a game specific thread instead.

My problem is: The game doesn't work. I try to start it and i get the "Christmas has been detected. Activate Christmas? (Y/N)". No matter what i choose, the game crashes after that. Sometimes i get to see a first screen (with the XSIV Games logo), sometimes the 2nd (never get a chance to see what it is), but i never get into the game. Anyone else having this problem?

PS I did one last try (like the 20th or so) and managed to enter the menus. Tried checking the instructions but the pages had a life of their own and switched without me doing anything. Didn't have any time to read. And then - it crashed. I know, it's free so don't complain, but it was also a gift.

SupahGamuh: I too have a bit of a problem with Tyrian 2000.

The game runs pretty good and I actually like the soundtrack, especially in FM mode, it reminds me a lot of the good days of the 16 bit consoles. BUT...

When I try to actually play the game, the ship always goes to the right of the screen and I'm always struggling to get it to the left side, even when I navigate through the options like, say, the music, the bar will always go up as if I pressed right.

I'm completely inexperienced on DOS-Box as many old games I like already have a decent source port that works right away, so, if it's any configuration for DOS-Box, I don't even know where to begin with.

It does look like it's something about my mouse or my keyboard, I can't really tell.

EDIT: Fogot to mention, I use WinXP.

EDITEDIT: My bad, I already found what the problem is. I had my Xbox 360 USB controller attached to the PC, when I unplugged it, the problem was instantly gone. Feel free to delete or move this post. Thanks anyways =)

Mentalepsy: Try using the 'Graphic Mode Setup' in the GOG shortcut folder from which you launched the game. Change the graphics mode to something else. I had to change mine to Surface to get the game to work (a different mode may work for you).

Choosername: However, i have another problem as i mentioned above. Whenever i try to enter the 'Instructions' page and read them, the page i select stays up about ½ a second and then it just flips through all pages there are and exits to the page where i selected 'Instructions'. Irritating... but perhaps this question should be lifted to a new topic? Feel free to do so

predcon: Leave it up. Others will want to know the answer to the problem if they have it. I also had that problem, and the solution was also to unplug my XUSB controller.
