You can use msconfig to launch Windows in diagnostic mode with only basic processes and services running. Good idea; I'll post on that later tonight. Edit: Wasn't feasible... game didn't load with out directsound initializing & wasn't worth going through the couple hundred drivers & services to …

Well a list of loaded DLLs is at https://pastebin.com/5Ni5RuSf If you feel like helping that'd be cool or you can close the topic since it's not dgvoodoo focused anymore. All the DLLs are signed except the ones in the Drakensang 2 directory... dll list is with out dgvoodoo loaded just to get a ' …

Thanks for trying to help however most of this is old notes already expressed on the Steam forums & not very helpful. The only thing mentioned that might have helped was WindowedAttributes = Borderless, FullscreenSize but alas it changed nothing. MS ACT is suggested by one person with the change of …
