{{ii}} A free demo version is available from [https://archive.org/details/Screamer_1020 Archive.org].

 +
==Essential improvements==
 +
===VGA vs SVGA===
 +
The game can be run in either VGA 320x200 256 color mode or in SuperVGA (SVGA) 640x480 256 color mode. While SVGA looks better, there are known issues with the game crashing or hanging in this mode. In particular the crashes happen in SVGA mode when letting the game's attract mode run. Or during game play on the 5th track (harbour track) of the championship.
 +
 
 +
This is a game bug for which no true fix is available, but there are ways to minimise the likelihood of a crash.
 +
 
 +
{{Fixbox|description=Method 1: Careful manoeuvring||fix=
 +
The crashes during the 5th track in SVGA mode can be avoided by careful manoeuvring. The downside of this is, that it requires a good knowledge of the track layout and checkpoint locations.
 +
 
 +
During the first checkpoint at the containers, always take the right lane.
 +
 
 +
During the second checkpoint at the plane, always take the right lane.
 +
 
 +
At the last skyscraper on the left, just before the turn to the straight of the finish line, keep on the left.
 +

</gallery>
 +
}}
 +
 
 +
{{Fixbox|description=Method 2: Switching view||fix=
 +
It seems this error is far less likely to occur when using a different view during the 5th track. In particular, the view available by pressing {{key|F1}} or {{key|F2}} ({{key|F3}} is default).
 +
}}
 +
 
 +
{{Fixbox|description=Method 3: Use the VGA map file||fix=
 +
As the crash does not happen with the VGA version:
 +
 
 +
# Go to {{folder|{{p|game}}\GFX}} (retail version) or {{folder|{{p|game}}\SCREAMER\GFX}} (digital versions).
 +
# Back up the game's SVGA map resource file for the 5th lap, {{file|MAP5H.DAT}}, then delete it.
 +
# Copy the VGA map resource file {{file|MAP5L.DAT}} and rename it to {{file|MAP5H.DAT}}.
 +
 
 +
The downside of this approach is that some scenery will disappear, such as buildings and trees, despite those same elements existing when playing the game in VGA mode.

Screamer is a singleplayer and multiplayer first-person and third-person racing game in the Screamer series.

All versions of the game suffer from hard crashes in SVGA mode regardless of platform. There is no known fix.

Essential improvements

VGA vs SVGA

The game can be run in either VGA 320x200 256 color mode or in SuperVGA (SVGA) 640x480 256 color mode. While SVGA looks better, there are known issues with the game crashing or hanging in this mode. In particular the crashes happen in SVGA mode when letting the game's attract mode run. Or during game play on the 5th track (harbour track) of the championship.

This is a game bug for which no true fix is available, but there are ways to minimise the likelihood of a crash.

Method 1: Careful manoeuvring

The crashes during the 5th track in SVGA mode can be avoided by careful manoeuvring. The downside of this is, that it requires a good knowledge of the track layout and checkpoint locations.

During the first checkpoint at the containers, always take the right lane.

During the second checkpoint at the plane, always take the right lane.

At the last skyscraper on the left, just before the turn to the straight of the finish line, keep on the left.

  • 1st checkpoint - keep right

  • 2nd checkpoint - keep right

  • last skyscraper - keep left

Method 2: Switching view

It seems this error is far less likely to occur when using a different view during the 5th track. In particular, the view available by pressing F1 or F2 (F3 is default).

Method 3: Use the VGA map file

As the crash does not happen with the VGA version:

  1. Go to <path-to-game>\GFX (retail version) or <path-to-game>\SCREAMER\GFX (digital versions).
  2. Back up the game's SVGA map resource file for the 5th lap, MAP5H.DAT, then delete it.
  3. Copy the VGA map resource file MAP5L.DAT and rename it to MAP5H.DAT.

The downside of this approach is that some scenery will disappear, such as buildings and trees, despite those same elements existing when playing the game in VGA mode.

Notes

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 File/folder structure within the installation folder reflects the path(s) listed for DOS game data. For the GOG.com release, file changes in DOSBox are redirected to <path-to-game>/cloud_saves/ even if GOG Galaxy is not used (this folder contains all redirected files, so some files in the cloud_saves folder might be temporary files or other files that do not contain saves or settings).
