Re: What it is like playing Half Life 2 at 16K (16 4k monitors)
Posted on 2017-10-05, 09:38
Pretty much showcases how important UI scaling is. We will have 16K monitors one day, but Half-Life 2 will look sort of bad since it needs to run at most at 1920x1080 to get a reasonable UI size. Lots of games being released today are terrible at 4K because they don't do proper UI scaling. I have to …

If you have a DX11 GPU: Use dgVoodoo2? That would at the very least eliminate some variables here.

Have you tried killing all background processes that do not belong to Windows? Can you make a list of all the background processes running on your computer so we can verify? Edit: A quick examination of your post history reveals you have a Sound Blaster, so my main suspect would be one of the …

Works perfectly here. Remember dgVoodoo2 has different ScalingMode settings, default/centered/stretched all leave the scaling to your GPU and/or monitor. It could be that your GPU and/or monitor scales 1440x960 badly. ImageScaleFactor at either 0 (max available on display) or at 2 with …

Hi, I can't download v.2.54 from the website. Browsers tell me the file is "dangerous" :dead: Seems a false positive to me. Should I deactivate my firewall? BTW, this thing is great, I'm managing to play Donald Duck Goin' Quackers vith v. 2.53 almost without issues (except for fmvs, which don't run …

@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 …

What use cases do you have that requires mixing using the GUI and editing the text file? There shouldn't need to be specific use cases that "require" mixing the GUI and manual editing for it to be a desirable feature. It's just a nice feature and users have come to expect that, if a program uses a …

It's in binary though D: why does the CPL program write it in binary? What is wrong with human readable language like English!? I know it can read plain text and binary config files, why does it write binary files in the first place though!? Unless you're a crazy Japanese developer (Japanese devs …

If Dxwnd was the solution the community needs, I wouldn't be here. Don't mention it again please Why not work on implementing a fix that works now (DxWnd) now and eventually move on to dgVoodoo2 whenever it does get support? Doesn't not having a solution in the meantime hurt the player base? Even …

Learning to read complex wordy documentation is a pretty essential life skill. Telling people to practice it on something that's not harmful to screw up is actually a good idea. If you're ever tasked with writing the documentation for a company product and your employer tells you that it's too …

Dege: have you considered making adding a profile in dgVoodooCpl.exe automatically copy over relevant DLLs? That's an elitist attitude. There's no reason why someone who has never used a wrapper before couldn't learn. When you're new to something, complex, wordy instructions can be overwhelming. …

Tried C&C95 again. It still has performance issues with menus and scrolling some directions ingame. Works perfectly with cnc-ddraw, maybe it needs some hacks you don't want to implement, but could you take a look? Anyway, it's a 640x400 game with a 4:3 aspect ratio so I set ScalingMode=Stretched_4_3 …

The GOG version works for me. No problem with alt-tab, no need to replace any files. There's some special features in modded versions of the game the base game does not have that's incompatible with dgVoodoo2. So between all these different files, it seems a full fix is possible. A full fix is …

I edited my previous post to better explain the issues. If you don't care about Firestorm than you can use the "ie ddrawfix" wrapper and enjoy the base game content. You should try ts_ddraw if you haven't. I didn't notice any issues with it and it was noticeably better than using ie_ddrawfix/ …

Tiberian sun worked for me on an earlier version (haven't tried the latest) though I would rather play it with ts_ddraw because I got some performance issues with dgVoodoo2. What graphical oddities are you talking about with existing wrappers? I found the last time I played Tiberian Sun to be a …

Populous D3D render is very prone to crashing at startup in newest WIP, works fine in 2.54. For whatever reason the WIP works with Win95 compatibility mode, but 2.54 doesn't need it. And yes I double checked that all tests were run with stock dgVoodoo2 configuration.
