Hmm, I'm getting serious hard lockups whilst playing this game. They are random though, the first time I could only play for a few minutes, the third attempt I got some way through the second mission (~10 mins according to the clock on screen at speed 7). Next time I load it up I'll get some serial debug going and hopefully will be able to obtain a crashlog. (actually I'll try removing Sam440EP_Setup just in case it is being caused by that)
I don't think qualifier keys are being checked, as I can't shift-click on units to multi-select them.
I'm also getting the ========= problem when saving, even though I have the updated version of the patch.

I have had a few lockup playing as well and have aleady removed the sam440ep_setup util to see if that would help fix my usb drop out issues so I dont think that is the reason for my lockups.
Maybe finding and fixing the DSI error I get on some attempts to lunch the game will fix the lockup issue as well.

I'd forgotten how hard this game was. Good work!
Selecting and grouping units works fine here by dragging the selection box round a group of unit with the left mouse button then pressing a number key to create a group "1" for then using the matching function key "F1" to select the created group.
Its pressing alt to make units fire I am not sure about but having not played the game much on my A1200 setup I cant tell if keys presses are being lost of it its normal for the games AI to ignore some of my attempts to fire on selected enemy units.

Thanks for doing this. I bought this game way back when in anticipation of my shiney new boXer. We all know that never materialized. I was never able to get it to run on my 4000 so it has gathered dust for years, until now.

In response to the people, who are experiencing lockups: I noticed this, and I can only say, that it didn't happen until recently. I think there are two possibilities: Either it is something with update 3 or it has something to do with me updating the sound driver. I will try and disable sound and see if that solves the problem.
Thanks for the crash log. I have managed to track down the point in the code that has to do with the crash, but it is very mysterious. As far as I can see from the log, the crash happens right at the "RTS" instruction. This makes no sense, because if the problem is a stack issue, then it would not be possible to continue the execution.
@alfkil For me DSI happens using the cdplayer.library (I dont always get the DSI with the version released since that) with the patch if I run DOPUS4 and extract the napalm patch to the ram disk.
But in general using other applications first and copying files to the ram disk tests to result in the error even if I delete the files from the ram disk and quit the applications before running napalm.

For me there is no way to play it on my radeon.. it always open in PAL screen mode.. I checked SYS:DEVS/Monitors and there is no PAL driver but it still works.. any workaround?
The napalm setup utility doesn't start and in the prefs i see that on the screenmode there is the option "ASK" so, i guess, it should ask for the screen mode but nothing..

Have you tried modepro http://aminet.net/package/util/cdity/ModePro I used to use it a lot with my BVisionPPC card to get OS legal software to open on my Graphics card rather than an AGA screen mode?
I don't know how well it work on OS4 but its probably worth a go.

Tryed the version without sound and it shines in the moment that it runs without locks (i have a little trouble to stay alive in level 2 ,so the playtime is not so long).
