Windows 8/10 runs many game in fake fullscreen, the easiest workaround is DDrawCompat: https://github.com/narzoul/DDrawCompat/releases Not saying it shouldn't be fixed in dgVoodoo2, just informing you of another tool you might want to try for situations like these.

First guess is that it's one of those installers that need to get a signal from every window before proceeding. Usually they'll do nothing if a background process is misbehaving. So open task manager and kill all background processes that don't belong to Windows itself. I'm not sure it's one of …

Have you tried turning it off and on again? That's actually not a joke. It sounds like a timing issue (it it's EXACTLY 5 FPS all the time) and reboots help with some of those.

dgVoodoo2 has some minor rendering problems with Lands of Lore II unfortunately. You can also play it with DXGL, but that has different rendering problems and DXGL doesn't allow forcing rendering resolution yet. What are the minor rendering problems? http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=34931 …

Been in the Insider's beta thing for Win10x64 since 10/2015--little over two years now. (Man, does time fly!) Anyway, got a multi TB game library of > 350+ games installed, from 30 years old to releases in the last couple of months--aside from DG Voodoo2 & Nglide 1.05, oddly enough, I have zero …

I probably can't help you, but anyone who could would need a lot more information on what sort of errors you're getting and the environment you're trying to run in (both guest and host computer).

The worst thing about this happening to you, is that now you'll get into continual arguments about the reliability of flash memory. Fanboi be like: "Flash rules all, empires will rise and fall, eons pass and you'll still have your data, not like magnetic media that randomly explodes every 2 months …

So the Fall Creator's update thing... Does running games with issues in windowed mode work? How many games are affected? Do you have any ideas what to do about it if Microsoft doesn't patch it?

Enemy Zero: Works in DDraw mode, D3D mode is selectable (although it's listed as D3D secondary rather than primary) but doesn't seem to work and reverts to DDraw. That problem was still in …

the SDL port of "opentyrian" does not work smooth on my P4-2,26 Ghz. The sound stutters sometimes and the video is not smooth, there are visable lines on the top of the display, no smooth framerate over the entire display. Is my machine to slow for it? Isn't this of topic? Because I don't think …

I'm amazed that you managed to figure out how to modify OpenTyrian's source code and build it, but can't figure out how to set environment variables. The simplest way to set a temporary environment variable is just to type it into a command prompt before running the game from the same command prompt …

Using DxWnd's exception handler (and disabling it's DirectX hooking) gets me farther: ARTHKNIA 2017-10-19 22-38-29-88.jpg Not that it gets me that far, but it reveals that the game has some rendering errors that Dege might want to look at? It also still crashes randomly. Why can't you get some more …

@Dege I see you added 'ExtraEnumeratedResolutions' which is great but can you add something like 'DisableDefaultResolutions' to disable all default system modes so game will only see custom list of resolutions ? Yes, but why would the be useful? :) I can't think of any at the moment, but games that …

RTSS works fine as a framelimiter with dgVoodoo2 for me, so that's what I would recommend. LithTech games also have a framelimiter you can set in the autoexec file (just google Shogo framerate limit...).

Dgvoodoo2 + RockmanX leads to weird behavior, it seems to not care at all about cpl settings and it keeps running at blurred ultralow resolution and even disabling the watermark does nothing, it stays active. Make sure you don't have different compatibility modes set on the game and dgvdooocpl. …
