I don't know much about this game, but if user settings are stored in registry then you should run game as administrator, because since probably Windows Vista, Microsoft came up with the UAC, where you can't save changes in specific folders, nor registry without providing administrator rights.

Nice necro. According to pc gaming wiki and to this thread game initially is Direct3D 5 then dgvoodoo2 makes it as Direct3D11-12. PC gaming wiki doesn't say a single word about opengl. And dgvoodoo doesn't work for opengl at all.

Dgvoodoo can cap FPS to certain value and that's it. If there is really such mechanism then maybe it can be reverse engineered and make CPU detection part think it's always the CPU with less than 1GHz and not let it try run the other case.

The other option is to force DirectX\Resolution directly to your expected resolution (3840x2160 in your case) instead of some dynamic resolution (max, ...). It's what I did. It felt like it totally ignored that. Game does have a config application where you can change resolution. Then there is …

Well, I think it's the very same case. It does ignore dgvoodoo's scalling. Maybe Dege has idea how to force it. You need to wait for him.

I downloaded metin2. used config.exe and changed resolution to 1280x720. I dropped 4 .dll files from MS/x86 folder from dgvoodoo .zip file into the folder with that config.exe then I configured it to use D3D12 and FHD(because that's my max resolution). dgvoodoo works, but it does not stretch the …

What's exactly the issue? Sacrifice has similar problem with UI scalling. The higher set in-game resolution the smaller UI becomes, but if you set up low resolution within the game, and high resolution within dgvoodoo then it doesn't look bad and has big UI(although there is difference in field of …

apparently it helps you 144 Hz screen. It also depends on the person personal ability to notice this. You can take photos with your phone while moving the camera, like I did, to see how this effect strong on you monitor. Yeah, it's what I assumed you did when taking those pictures. Rapid sharp …

Are you talking about DLSS 3.5 frame generation? If so even that doesn't work for games that are locked to 30FPS. It needs a baseline of 50-60fps and the AI generated frames make it feel like 120FPS+. Yeah, I didn't want to elaborate on it, but... frame generation is quite a new feature that came …

Fake frames? What's that? If game generates 30 images a second, what would be other 30? Battle for middle earth also has game mechanics bound to FPS more FPS results in everything on the screen happening faster.

There was a bug in dgvoodoo's d3d11 with AMD cards ever since 2.55. Dege found what was causing it, but he needs more data to fix it for all the GPUs affected by it. Versions 2.81.1 and 2.82.2 got first GPUs fixed, but there can be more GPUs affected and it needs more data from users. Are you using …

Yes, fast memory access helps a bit, I think about 30% increase in that spot in dx12, but resolution helps a lot(I used FHD since I thought it's not demanding game, 6 cars and something sometimes happening on the screen that I can max out settings and that's it). So it's nowhere close to that case …

I tried it, it's not really different for Toon Car(drops to 45 FPS around that place while using DX12). For Sacrifice it went down from 30 to 28 FPS.
