see i want my game to look like this http://youtu.be/_dxRMBi-usc

for some reason mine ends up looking Extreamly bad / pixalated and blocky what am i doing wrong? is cuz of dos box that makes it look bad i dunno....

Just checking, but are you sure you set the resolution and detail under options?

General Discussion is notionally reserved for religious rants, and uninformed hateful opinions (the two may or may not overlap).

You might find that the people in the Tex Murphy sub forum will be more able to help.

It can be found here: http://www.gog.com/en/forum/tex_murphy_series/ . It's a better place to post your question. Personally I can't help you, beyond that advice.

Whoa whoa whoa, I've seen some uninformed atheistic rants here before. Also, rants about cheese, Justin Long, and marsupials that jump.

I changed in the game itself which didnt do anything and im loking in dosbox options config file and it says origanal im not really familar with dosbox atm so im guessing i need to manually edit that?

I consider all of those Religions. Especially the cheese, and if you've got a problem with some unpasturised stilton, then there'll be a new rant coming!

Whoa whoa whoa, okay, fair enough. I'd just hate to see a double-standard forming here. Also, cheddar.

Dammit, you really know how to push those buttons don't you!

Pixelated is how the game is, I think to a certain extent the youtube video being of awful quality masks the fact that the game is relatively low resolution.

But the OP said they'd had better, perhaps just by nostalgia. Anyway, the OP has started a thread in the correct place, best to add updates there: http://www.gog.com/en/forum/tex_murphy_series/uakm_graphics

I put it down to monitor difference then. They almost certainly played it on a CRT, which on low resolution modes could lend a nice smoothing effect.

CRT TV pictures never look pixelated despite only being 576/480 lines.

GOG really needs to set up a generic help forum as people tend not to go into any of the game specific subfora unless they're looking for help. Which tends to lead to no or little help being in most of those subfora.

Also a lot of the solutions apply to multiple games,
Sort of, CRTs are able to display multiple resolutions, LCDs and similar can't. To get a 800x600 image on an LCD the videocard or monitor has to double the appropriate number of pixels to fit the screen, or go with 1:1 and display on a tiny portion of the screen.

CRTs have more latitude with that and can put the pixels mostly arbitrary as long as it's in multiples of the dot pitch.

Or something along those lines.

I think it's simply that it looked better back then. However we will see, follow the other thread if intested.

We doing this again? Post your best forum structure, the one forum to rule them all, with the one set of sub forums to rule all of them and of course the forums above them, and then the alternative forums to be separated from them all but not really. There is no answer.

I suspect by now there are books on forums structures. The one they have seems to work ok. I do believe that if someone has an answer, they are going to be in that forum rather than general disgust. I don't hold with the whole adbandonment thing, I think there are few users on General that are not also checking the boards of the games they bought. I know I do, and I see others do it too.
