I'm trying to run the original retail Medieval: Total War, however it crashes after the intro video. Patch 1.1 is applied.

Compatibility modes and dgvoodoo2 didn't help either. I tried a ddraw.dll from PCgamingwiki, made for this game, but no change.

Anyone managed to make it work on modern windows?

EDIT:

It does launch with DXWnd, however I need to use dgvoodoo for API tracing; don't know how to combine them. Putting dgvoodoo's files in the game directory causes DXWnd to fail with a Direct3D error message.

Well you can use DxWnd for API tracing too (what are you doing anyways?) Otherwise you may need to contact both devs simultaneously for a fix.

In some cases, using DxWnd Renderer - None and putting dgVoodoo2 should fix the problem but it seems unlikely here

Setting DxWnd's renderer to none made it work with dgvoodoo, but then the same crash-after-intro happens.
