That's a really, really terrible trailer. I hope some intern put it together in 15 minutes.

Ok, thanks, I see the problem. The cause didn't come to my mind... dgVoodoo's scaling process isn't really designed for downscaling. The problem with it is the same as texture mipmapping were invented because of (sampling frequency <= 2x of the original (meaning image sizes are >= 2x of the …

Also more on scaling, but the other way. I thought downscaling worked properly in dgVoodoo, but I guess not? Unless I'm doing something wrong but I can't think of what that would be.Here's dgVoodoo scaling from 3840x2160 to 1920x1080: Is 3840x2160 a DSR? I tried it in the traditional way (forcing …

I tried the Complete Collection but it hangs on the loading screen before you get control of the neighborhood, just loops but thanks I requested it on GOG.com's wishlist That's odd; that's past the copy protection check. And I think also where it initializes rendering, so you might want to try a …

The Sims Complete Collection works on Windows 10, but as mentioned, you need a crack for the copy protection and we can't help you with that here. Someone recently made a GUI patcher for easily setting widescreen resolutions too: https://github.com/FaithBeam/Sims-1-Complete-Collection-Widescreen- …

Of course they will use it, it looks better. If it's exposed in the UI they'll click on it and like it. Why so sure about that? I've seen plenty of Youtube videos indicating that people in fact are not clicking the "make things look good" buttons. Some do, but the majority don't. I was writing on …

https://github.com/elishacloud/dxwrapper/releases Has had a ddraw to d3d9 wrapper since July apparently. Still has the "doesn't support 3D rendering" asterisk most ddraw wrappers have, but it's potentially useful if you want to use d3d9 tools on a ddraw title. I got it to play a title or two cnc- …

Thanks for the feedback! I had some little spare time and couldn't stand not to try out implementing some resampling filters (I should have worked on other things). I added bicubic, lanczos-2 and lanczos-3. That's great news, especially for non 1440p users (who don't have the luxury of integer …

That different language builds would have different window handling code seems much more unlikely to me than there just being differences between Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. Could be some other factor specific to your system too, but I can't think of what it could be.

Is there a wrapper for OpenGL games? So that you can bypass the graphics settings through the nvidia/amd panel. This is off-topic and you shouldn't have posted it here, but... Why do you want to bypass graphic settings set in the nvidia/amd control panel? That's an important ting to include in …

Hello, Peixoto! I have a weird problem and curious if you want to take a look at it. After installing the gog version of SW Republic Commando on Windows 10 I discovered that none of the video files plays in the game O_o. They ARE located in the game's folder where they should be and I can view them …

No compatibility settings (except disabling DPI scaling) or I would have told you about them. Resolution, I've tried both 1024x768 and 3840x2160. Details set to high.

I'm using the version you said you were using (2.62.3) with the stock configuration (I enabled AA and AF for the screenshot though).

Yes, that's what I posted a screenshot from earlier.

Try placing dgVoodoo.conf from the dgVoodoo download in the game's directory. That's the stock configuration file, something might be wrong with your configuration (you did check that window mode wasn't enabled right? could be some other setting too...). Maybe try setting Windows global DPI scaling …

I will try compatibility modes in a moment. Okay, I've already changed the resolution. I will let you know the results soon I forgot to mention. I have Windows 8.1 so all I have is "Disable display scalling on high DPI settings" option. Should I select it or not? Dgvoodoo is in full screen mode so …

Why haven't you tried the compatibility modes I mentioned, and if you have, why haven't you posted the result? And how to force the resolution to be changed in the config.pc file? I can't read it in the notepad, and in the hex editor I don't see any hex values that match the set resolution Do you …

Compatbility options for the game, set "Disable fullscreen optimizations" , make sure that under "Change high DPI settings" "Override High DPI Scaling behavior. Scaling performed by:" is set to "Application". Make sure dgVoodoo isn't set to windowed mode. It should work then, but the game seems to …
