PC freezes because some tool has extended the TDR timeout into infinity That'd be weird because TDR is kernel level, so disabling it would mean the (graphical) freeze of the entire operating system. AFAIK disabling TDR is only recommended for debugging the graphics driver, or running computations …

ok, so the emulated Geforce FX and 4, and Radeon 9800 should expose D3DPTEXTURECAPS_POW2 & D3DPTEXTURECAPS_NONPOW2CONDITIONAL to look like a device of the time, i'm sure theres going to be many other games that have this issue as the DX guides were hodge podge based on the old incomplete d3dprim …

DX8a SDK demos hang and crash even before dgVoodoo2 initialises. Even viewer mentions on nvwgf2um.dll. I had a few tests here: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=106547 dgVoodoo does not touch D3D8 so it must be some other error, probably at driver level. What about an earlier driver version? …

Hi Dege, I think I found a regression starting with 2.85 regarding Direct3D7 with the game Zanzarah where a IDirectDraw7::GetGDISurface call returns a null pointer causing a consistent crash on startup. I have tested with 2.84.1, 2.85 and 2.86.2 spec versions where only 2.84.1 works (also previous …

It needs non-pow2 textures for the bloom effect but misinterprets the D3D9 capability bits when checking out if they are supported. It isn't misinterpretation, cap lookup returns D3DPTEXTURECAPS_NONPOW2CONDITIONAL false on all D3D10 hardware, whether used on XP or Vista and onwards. This should be …

How many times have you tried to start the game by checking one state? I mean that such errors can be latent (floating) for example or 100 attempts to launch 8 can be successful. Which can lead to incorrect conclusions. You need to make at least 100 attempts in such tests. As I said, it either …

Thanks for video! I checked it out and I can even reproduce it with D3D11 and native D3D9, altough I get a crash instead of a freeze. Sometimes it requires a lot of enter/leave to the shop, other times it happens almost instantly. It seems to be a game side problem (memory corruption?) because …

You sir are a legend. I have been talking to C4RP about this and it has allowed me to use reshade with RTGI and REST both in swg. I am a very very happy person. Ideally it could work with 32-bit as well, as the 64-bit client has some issues, but this is truly legendary work you've done here. Thank …

Reading into the DDrawCompat discussion, it's the same problem as with RollerCoaster series. The game tries to use a bump map texture format as color format. I resolved this by patching the game executable a few years ago, because on one hand dgVoodoo does not have an old enough virtual video card …

Hm... If you can provide me a copy of this game or game RIP in private somehow then I could look into it, otherwise unfortunately not. Probably a regression bug in dgVoodoo (if the courses screen is fine natively).

You did it! Wow, I'm confused as to why that error only presents when black faces are loaded. I wonder if it's just faces in general? They generate face textures by drawing by the 3D hw into a rt texture, then read back the result and load it into a plain managed texture. I don't know why face …

I think I fixed it: http://dege.fw.hu/temp/d3d9_SWG_Restoration_fix_x64.zip The UpdateSurface error comes with the 64 bit version but not with the 32 bit one. It's irrelevant though, I found a bug in the code for reading back rendertarget data.
