i remember that you needed to limit texture mem to 2mb

according to this site zackensacks works

Hmm, EAW doesn't even detect the presence of Zeckensack's glide wrapper on my machine - the "Glide" option is greyed out in the menu. (As far as I can tell, EAW seems to need glide2x.dll in the program folder for the Glide option to become available.)

The option is available when I use DgVoodoo, but I just get a black screen I start a mission. (I also tried limited tex mem to 2MB in the DgVoodoo setup)

give me your email addy and i'll send you a file that should let you play in d3d mode

edit:

ps: make sure you have the MicroProse v.1.2 patch
the the European Air War version 1.28 (unofficial) (with this you shouldnt need my file) but you will need to edit eaw.ini file, change the value for PlayIntro from 1 to 0

Thanks Dav, but I don't have any problems running the game in D3D mode.

My main incentive for using a glide wrapper is that I've been experiencing some performance issues with the game in D3D mode, and I was told running the game in glide mode with a wrapper can provide a substantial performance increase.

id still try the patch though

No need, I'm already running 1.28. 😉
