And get yourself dosbox 0.72, better performance and compability.
It installs itself in an other folder and creates his own start menu items, will not interfere with older versions.
Do NOT copy/paste your old dosboxconfig but edit the 0.72 one manually if needed.
If that all doesn't help you have corrupted files, because No Remorse runs flawless in dosbox 0.72.

When downloading rips from the internet (even from different sources), great chances they are the same, as those sites copycat their contents the whole time, certainly if they are game rips, so they suffer all (or almost all) from the same flaws.

So: go on a hunt for a full ISO (is findable) or simply buy the game, and you will have a working game in dosbox 0.72.

BTW, those 'files' and 'buffers' are fully taken care of by dosbox, it was only needed in the ol'Dos times to edit config.sys. No need for added lines in dosboxconfig, totally needless.

You had your answers, nothing more we can do.

No idea, maybe, maybe not, the only known fact: you have a problem somewhere.
A simple warp to the next level will probably be the easiest way out of this.

I have looked into the problem a bit. Its actually a bug in the game. Level 3 has many different secrets that can be accessed, many of them cutting across huge parts of level 3. If you use one of those conveyor belts in a certain way, the game gets confused about the exact position of the crusader.

I investigated it a little bit, and you can tell that when you get to the end of the level the game has a problem centering the camera on the crusader. The key was noticing that when the crusader gets near the elevator pad, it moves before he actually gets on it. Whenever that happens, the game hangs at the end of level 3. I have not yet figured out which secret causes it.

The only way *around* it is to replay level 3 again and hope that when you get to the end of the level, you do not have a problem with the camera. If you do not cut across the level, you shouldn't have any problems.
