Hi,


I was playing Warlords-2, but after first turn it actually occurred to me that I am only trying to play it, while it is impossible. To my great disappointment.


Problem is that tapping with stylus on the screen sends click events in a totally different place of the screen. This is probably a dosbox issue.


1. can you reproduce it?


2. do we need to patch dosbox code, or it can be fixed with some option in config file?


thanks
 
Clicks in a different place may be related to the known issue when using "invisible" (typically custom) cursors. I think it was fixed in a recent version of DosBox? Or was it just fixed in ScummVM?


Someone else know what I'm talking about? I can't find any info on whether DOSBox was updated with the fix or not.
 
Dosbox was updated with the fix. Make sure you have the latest version from the archive. I was playing Dungeon Hack and was having the same issue, updated DosBox and it went away. I don't think you can use the nubs and the stylus in the same session or it can go wonky, though.
