If you have problems running Blood Bath, it may be because your video
card isn't VESA complient.
There is a shareware SVGA utility that provides VESA compliance for SVGA
cards that normally are not VESA compliant. It is called SciTech Display
Doctor, and is available from http://www.scitechsoft.com/. If you use it,
you should pay the shareware fee as described in the documentation. If
you have a recent SVGA card you probably don't need SciTech Display
Doctor, although it may improve Blood Bath's performance.
If you have an S3 video card, there is another option. A variety of
S3 based video cards have problems when the VESA mode switch call is
made, *if* the mode switch also requests that the screen be cleared at
the time of the switch. Blood Bath does indeed make such a request.
One workaround is to move the s3vbe directory to your c: drive and
then add these two lines to your autoexec.bat file:
c:\s3vbe\s3vbe20/install
c:\s3vbe\s3vbe20 CLEAR-
the s3vbe20 program is *freeware* and it will give your S3 based video
card a linear frame buffer in addition to allowing you to use the
"CLEAR-" command to avoid the problem described above.
If there are still problems, running under DOS will almost always
clear them up.
