Just writing to let you know this update continues to run very stable. Not had one random crash. I think the next GPU I get for my workstation will be a non Dual-GPU (currently have R9 295X2) and gives zero benefit as its treated as Crossfire; and that is not compatible with Windowed games anyway.

Can anyone tell me if there is a reason/benefit to using this with a desktop/PC? Or is this only useful for laptops that have issues with utilizing dedicated GPU because of NVIDIA Optimus and the way the game launches from a DLL? It's great for both. Laptops for decent graphics and frame rates …

OK, I fixed the issue. Tomorrow I'm going to release a new WIP just because of FFXI. Since I'm not sure why 2.53 crashes, and just to make sure the new version doesn't crash, I give this game high priority. It'd be nice to have any bug fixed before my free FFXI access expires. :D ps: I must admit, …

I have the same stability issues with 2.53. In attempt to alleviate it, I updated to 2.54. This resulted in the inability to render character models.

Is there a demo for this game, somewhere? Also, is it possible that FFXI uses the same engine as Phantasy Star Online (Blue Burst)? Because that game handles managed textures in a weird way that can really (but not necessary) result in crash. In 2.54 I made it all compatible with MS D3D8 but …

Not going to comment on how this game runs on dgVoodoo2, but have you considered that your problem with Optimus might be solved by others means like: WineD3D: https://fdossena.com/?p=wined3d/index.frag ENBSeries DX8 to DX9 convertor: http://enbdev.com/convertor_dx8_dx9_v0036.htm Just in case you …

I have a new laptop. A DELL XPS 15 9560 with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 with 4GB GDDR5 running Windows 10. The game in question is Final Fantasy XI (FFXI) which is an online game. The video card driver will not render the game on the dedicated NVIDIA GPU because its using DirectX 8. This is by …
