I release my latest fix as a little patch for testing purposes. Update the files of 2.63.1 from this zip: http://dege.fw.hu/temp/AnarchyOnline.zip

Play this game with any virtual videocard other than the default internal and it renders fine. The reason is that if all types of vertex elements are reported as supported (like with the internal card) then the game drives D3D9 improperly for some reason.

Heh, GOG version (vanilla without any additional patch) doesn't work for me either. I experience the same as you. Even if I launch it in windowed mode, I cannot switch to fullscreen manually. I suspect some window type flags were added in this version that aren't compatible with DXGI, or sg like …

So, it's not exactly the same issue I remembered of. I can't test the GOG version of Blood2 now, but I'll give it a go.

I changed the 2.63.1 packages in the recent days because of google 'safe browsing' so I think that's why MS detects it again as malware. Anyway, I submitted the current .zip files to MS and according to their feedback, they've just removed the detection. I think it should be OK now with the latest …

I remember having this problem on Win7 with the original game version. The game can't switch into fullscreen and you can only see a small window in the middle of the screen. I think something moves the focus off from the game window right when it launched. What if you Alt-Tab from/into the game?

Were you able to investigate the issue preventing anarchy online from working? Yes, I forgot about it. The problem were the palettes not the flag. The game creates some 1 (or 2) bit palettes but doesn't try to attach them to any other DDraw object. So, it's a perfectly valid DDraw driving pattern, …
Re: disable bilinear filtering in glide
Posted on 2020-02-09, 19:56
Ok, a quick debug reveals that mipmapping is disabled in this game by default. I mean that it's controlled by the game itself which mipmaplevel is used for a textured polygon. For example, that door is rendered at 8x8, 32x32 and 128x128 depending on the distance. So, dgVoodoo cannot do much here. :( …

The game reads back the backbuffer for rendering the sun. Fast vidmem access helps but doesn't completely solves the problem. Try a low resolution (like 640x480) and upscale it thorugh dgVoodoo. That way it runs for me at 60fps.

Probably yes. At least I can't remember if I got those black texture pixels. It should be checked through the WARP renderer.
Re: SFC3 invisible Warp Bug
Posted on 2020-02-09, 17:38
It's very accidental if warp is visible or not. This problem is not related to the gpu-driver but to dgVoodoo itself. Somehow in a subtle way. dgVoodoo gets invalid vertex coordinates from the game when it's not visible, but I failed to discover the reason and no progress since then. As far as I …

Can you give me a savegame for this location? That may work for me, as the game quits at the end of the first level for some reason.

The message may be misleading, but I think it means either the palette type is unsupported (non-8 bit palette like 1, 2 or 4 bit) or the game specified one of the flags mentioned which is compatible with MS DDraw but not with dgVoodoo DDraw. I guess the flag is the problem so it could be resolved. …

Re: Prevent dgVoodoo From Minimizing To Desktop
Posted on 2020-01-31, 16:32
The game always expects the mouse input in the top-left coordinate space because it doesn't know about the upscaled window. dgVoodoo has mouse emulation which means it draws its own mouse cursor to the upscaled position. But, it's true that this mouse emulation isn't present in windowed mode. I …

You can't obtain a pointer to the internal ID3D11Device. Why do you need that?
Re: Prevent dgVoodoo From Minimizing To Desktop
Posted on 2020-01-21, 21:36
Yes, there is. You have to run the game in fake fullscreen mode and disable the default lose-focus behavior (minimizing). So, for fake fullscreen, set: General\ScalingMod = 'Stretched, keep aspect ratio' General\FullScreenMode = false General\CenterAppWindow = true GeneralExt\WindowedAttributes = ' …
