- After reading that note, I grabbed a copy of the Marathon demo myself, and
- I ran into a similar problem. The game menus worked, setup worked, and
- the main game screen drew everything but the actual game view in the
- center just fine -- however, the center of the screen (the important part,
- I suspect <grin>) would not refresh at all unless I waved my mouse across
- that portion of the screen. When I did that, the portions of the center
- that the mouse pointer actually passed over would be refreshed.
- Everything else remained black and unmoving.
-
- I'm using E/D v1.99o under PC-DOS 6.3 and Warp 3.0, Diamond SpeedStar 64
- using Cirrus 5434 chipset, 486DX4/100 with 20MB.
-
- I didn't spend a lot of time trying E/D switches -- there might be an
- obvious solution...?
