Re: Far Cry (2004): Foggy level

Posted on 2024-01-13, 17:53

in Windows
Sorry, I overlooked that. I only played the 64 bit version with the Enhancement pack so far, which doesn't have those issues (although those patch should only be installed on an unpatched retail copy, the GoG copy of the game will exhibit glitches like missing textures if you install over it, since …

Probably because patch 1.4 breaks the enemy AI, allowing them to see through certain models like tents. I'm curious though - what causes this fog issue? Never seen it before. The tent glitch can be fixed with a patch though. https://www.moddb.com/mods/tent-ai-bug-fix That patch appears to only fix …

Are there ways to fix the foggy level using a hex editor instead of patching to 1.4? Why do you want to fix the problem yourself with a hex editor when there is already a patch available that fixes the problem? Sounds a bit counter intuitive. Probably because patch 1.4 breaks the enemy AI, allowing …

Soldier of Fortune II (GoG): glitched music with EAX enabled

Posted on 2024-01-04, 17:27

in Windows
I've recently installed the GoG release of Soldier of Fortune II Gold (which should be the same as the retail version patched up to 1.03) on a laptop running Windows 11 and I've ran into a bizarre bug. If I use DSOAL with the game and enable EAX in the game's audio settings, music in the game will …

The "put DVD in drive" error is probably not related to the Physx files, and is most likely cause by the game's TAGES copy protection not working properly on windows 10. Try using this updater: http://www.tagesprotection.com/main.htm?page=5.5.htm Alternatively, you could try searching for a no cd …

So can someone please check this: - Does EMBM only work on the original Matrox G400 and not on G450/G550 ? - Does EMBM on G450/G550 work with the non-matrox-card patch ? I just bought the GOG Version and I am only getting 1-2fps, unplayable, with or without an EMBM patch. Thx! IDK about the real …

Hey guys, in the 4th mission Pier there is an area in the woods (see the picture) which is foggy a bit. I always remembered this fog when I used to play Far Cry on Windows XP. Now Im playing on Win10, CD’s version, patch 1.32 + AMD64 bit upgrade + silent patch but there is no fog in the woods at …

Try using Dgvoodoo 2. Set a lower resolution ingame and then set the one you want to use in the dgvoodoo 2 control panel. https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/DgVoodoo_2# … igh_resolutions

Re: Age of Wonders crashes in fullscreen

Posted on 2023-07-31, 15:28

Well I finally got the game to work with the wrapper, but there is a caveat. The game works if the Fast Video Memory Access option is unchecked in wrapper settings and if the skip intro option is checked in the game's launcher (GDI hooking doesn't help with the intro), but then it will run slow like …

Thanks! I tried the GOG version of this game (1.36) but TBH I could not even start it, it just got stuck into a waiting state, no matter if dgVoodoo was present or not. The non-GOG version that I tried last time, worked in full screen too. Based on the log, I suppose that the last DX-call is a …

I gave it a quick go but it worked for me in fullscreen. I had an occassional crash when entering a game scene but that came from a game dll. Did you try the _dbg version of dgVoodoo to see if there is any error dumped? Here's the debug output. EDIT: I noticed that there is a "$ …

You could try borderless fullscreen instead. GeneralExt settings: Windowed mode attributes -> Borderless, Fullscreen size Fullscreen mode attributes -> Fake Presentation model -> Flip discard (Windows 10+ only) Borderless fullscreen + flip discard performs as good or better than fullscreen …

Age of Wonders crashes in fullscreen

Posted on 2023-07-23, 20:09

So I managed to set up Age of Wonders to work with dgvoodoo2 by doing the CLSID edit for ddraw.dll so it loads the wrapper and not the system dll. However, the game only works in windowed mode: if I try to run it in fulscreen it crashes, regardless of setting the resolution with the launcher or …

What type is your laptop? What GPU does it have? It could be because your desktop has a proper Nvidia or AMD one, while most laptops use the GPU integrated in the CPU by default, which tend to be less compatible with old games.

"Korea: Forgotten Conflict "maybe? It's a Commandos clone (not a very good one), and it also had a sapper character with a minesweeper, other parts of the description seems to fit too.

Edit: Finally fixed it. Turns out this game doesn't like LAV Filters as a codec, as it would crash at the intro FMV if it was set as the preferred codec. With Codec Tweak Tool I was able to set the preferred codec for .mpg videos to the one built into Windows instead of the LAV Filters one, and it …
