So DXWnd didn't work, and overclocking had no noticeable effects, but I've found a partial solution. WineD3D for Windows caused the blackout issue, and I think it's because they weren't written for my version of Windows. I downloaded the regular WineD3D exe and extracted the "d3d9," "libwine" and " …

I tried dgvoodoo2 and it had no effect. I think because their wrappers only go up to DirectX 8, and this is a DX9 game. Interestingly, when I tried the "d3d8" and "d3d10" dlls from WineD3D, the game ran just as it would without any modifications on my Intel card: no graphical bugs but choppy. But …

Windows 10. Those .dlls came from "WineD3D for Windows" which uses the Wine DirectX wrappers. I had read it can help with performance of older games on Windows.

I have a "d3d9.dll" in the same folder as the game's executable, along with "libwine.dll" and "wined3d." With these present the darkness issue seen in the second picture occurs. As for dgVoodoo2, I'm getting virus warnings from Chrome trying to download from their site. I know that's usually a false …

1914: Shells of Fury uses DirectX 9, and I have been attempting to run it on my DirectX 12 PC. When at first trying to run it on my Intel HD integrated graphics card, the game looked fine but ran choppy. So I tried running it from my Nvidia card. The result of that was that the game ran smoothly but …

Here is a video of the problem in Mafia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3y8NyVUu5vI Notice how the shadow under the car and the section of the building I focus on both flicker. Later on, the blue sign on the gas station at the end of the road flickers as I approach it. I have an ATI Radeon 8700 …

So I tried another DirectX 8 game, F1 Challenge 99-02, and it also has the flickering problem (happens wherever two textures converge or overlap). ENB and Wine do not fix it either.

Ok so the enb convertor changed nothing. I removed them and put the WineD3D files into my Mafia folder. Now when I try to start the game, the white LS3D window pops up and it just stays there. The game doesn't start. I am using the Steam version. Would that have anything to do with it?

AMD Radeon HD 7800 with six-core processor

I am not getting any artifacts onscreen. The textures themselves are flickering. Multipass rendering actually makes more things flicker.

This has been a problem ever since I installed this game. Shadows under characters, shadows under cars, and textures (blood, signs, etc.) all flicker seemingly nonstop. There will be periods when none of this happens, but most of the time all these things flicker. It seems it only happens with …

Alright I ditched dgvoodoo and tried nglide. Now it works fine. Thanks!

So I got the Voodoo version to install, and tried to run it with the dgVoodoo glide files. Now I just get a black screen upon startup.

When I try to install the Voodoo version it says I don't have a 3Dfx card. How do I make the installer recognize dgvoodoo as a graphics driver?

I just got a copy on MGPRS2 (reeaally long title for a game) and tried to play it on regular windows 7 (with an ATI 7800 card in DirectX mode). The game ran fine, but some textures (mainly sky and buildings) were flickering horrendously, and the sun and smoke effects had black boxes around them. So …
