I was able to run Metal Gear Solid 2 (GOG version) with dgVoodoo2.

However, there is one issue as of now. After closing the game, the game's executable (mgs2_sse.exe) keeps running in the background. I have to go to Task Manager and manually close it every time, otherwise the game won't start if I try to run it again. This issue doesn't occur when using GOG's original d3d8.dll wrapper, but its implementation of MSAA is flawed and causes artifacts, so I need dgVoodoo2 to apply MSAA.

@Dege Could you please look into it at your earliest? I'm on Win10(x64) using dgVoodoo 2.8.2.

Thank you.

Hi,

It's a known problem, coming from the nature of DX10+. It can cause deadlocks in other games (in fact, this is the thing in this game as well) when switching between windowed/fullscreen modes and unfortunately I have no solution for that.
It's a situation where the game executable could be patched at most.
