Running Rogue on a P3 450 and Geforce3 Ti 200 Win98SE. The camera keeps getting left behind when accelerating and sometimes the game doesn't play smoothly/gets the jitters. I know hitting F1 can temporarily fix the camera but wonder if downgrading my hardware would help. Thinking about replacing the current setup with a P233 and a TNT2 Ultra, maybe it'll help. Any comments would be welcome!

See this thread : Rogue Squadron "far away camera" problem
and this one : Direct X problem w. Rogue squadron

Not sure their solutions will work for you, but might help anyway.

I was debugging this game for a while:
https://github.com/mudlord/rogue_fix

x64dbg databases of what I found so far are included.

I was mainly poking around internals in the Scoundrel Engine (RS's game engine). Factor 5 luckily left most of their debug strings, which is nice. In the future I want that DLL to encompass all known versions of the game engine so that someone can just copy relevant files from the game disc, and then the injected DLL works as a no-CD+game patcher to fix known bugs. At least, that was the idea.

For me, a funny camera fix was to purposely die asap. Then the variables for the camera for me are inited properly, 🤣, which meant the camera from there worked fine....Which leads me to think some variables are not zeroed properly or something. Or some race condition.

I played it recently on a 550 MHz K6-III+ and a V3. I didn't know about this glitch, and only played the first two levels, but it seemed fine. I can try some more soon. The game wasn't silky smooth, but playable like most of the games back in the day 😀

I finished it with the camera glitch without any problems.

GOG version has the no cd fixes and crashes after every mission patched, as well as the Naboo Starfighter.
Steam version has encryption of the game executable, funnily enough, which meant I had to crack it to debug it.....

I played the original version, before it was on GOG or Steam.

Ended up replacing the Geforce3 with a Hercules 3D Prophet II Ultra. Silky smooth now with no camera glitch. Thanks to all for the comments.
