DM2 - issue with mouse clicking

[Time4Tea]

Hi, first post on this forum!

I am trying to play Dungeon Master 2 in dosbox on Linux. It seems to boot up fine, sound seems to work fine; however, when it gets to the main menu, the mouse cursor is working, but nothing responds to mouse clicks, so I am not able to start a new game. I have been using dosbox for years and haven't had a similar issue with any other games. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing it?

Thanks in advance!

DM2 runs fine for me in dosbox on Windows, so this must be a Linux specific issue.

@ChristopheF Thanks for your comment, although I tried running it in dosbox on a Mac and had the exact same issue with it not responding to mouse clicks. Perhaps one of the game files is corrupted?

I have no idea... You may try https://dosbox-x.com/ instead of dosbox to see if it makes any difference.

It doesnt matter, whether your using a mac or linux system while using DOSBOX.
What EXAT game files are you using?
Back in the day there was bad warez/crack which did exactly this.
Download and try each and every version you may find to suit your needs...

(Wish I had THAT option, back in the pre-internet days...)
