Major glitch bug in Chasm Game

Post by mpowell123 »

Hi, I have been trying to play the Chasm DOS game, but there appears to be a major glitch bug. I cannot control the view because it keeps shaking & looking up. It is hard to move around as a result because the view won't stand still, it keeps looking up, I tried looking ahead, but it keeps shaking & it keeps looking upwards without me pressing the arrow keys. Is there a way to fix it?

You're trying to play in browser on this page, right?

The game thinks that you have a joystick attached -- this is an idiosyncrasy of JS-DOS, the browser version of DOSBox -- and it receives "phantom commands" from that joystick.

Here's the solution: when the game starts, press Esc to get to the menu, and exit to DOS prompt, then type

Code: Select all

config -set joysticktype none
to disable the joystick. Then type CHASM to run the game again.
