DGvoodoo2 works for Starfleet Command III from 2.7 until 2.73. Since 2.74 there will be some color weirdness on UI, planets and space background. But this is only observed with AMD radeon graphics.

Thank you for the information. Unfortunately I have personal reason to stay in Windows7 so no DirectX12. I will keep looking for other solution.

No. The AMD CPU is another problem. https://cookieplmonster.github.io/mods/mass-effect/ Besides, you don't need dgvoodoo2 to run Mass effect anyway.

Good news. The latest WIP73 fixed the notorious bug. dgVoodoo 2.7.x and related WIP versions I tested using Direct3D 11 (feature level 11.0) because my graphic card (AMD HD8250) is not DX12 capable, but please try if you have different result as this is still a WIP version.

Thank you! This version (WIP73) fixed the warping problem of Star Trek: Starfleet Command III! ps. tested using Direct3D 11 (feature level 11.0) on Windows 7 and 10. However, windows defender claims dgvoodooCpl.exe has "Win32/Wacapew.C!ml" threat. It's probably another false alert.

My first PC was bought in 1999. The spec I remembered: AMD K6-II 400mhz Motherboard with SIS530 chipset (forgot the brand) Memory 64MB HDD 10GB Windows 98 As SIS530 cannot play much games, I later bought a nVIDIA TNT2 M64 PCI, and another 64MB memory in 2000. (This board didn't have AGP.)

Are you not online when playing those games? If so, it's the game explorer. https://www.systemshock.org/index.php?topic=9585.0 I managed to delete gameux.dll myself, and the problem is gone forever.

You're right. I stand corrected, intel gpu is terrible for old games, if not the worst of the worst.
