Not sure what version of dgVoodoo I used, but I've got a game called Driv3r which worked in Windows 10 using dgVoodoo as of 2023 . I was able to make the game display on the second monitor.

With Windows 11 whenever I try to use dgVoodoo, the game will try to start then close immediately after trying to open the game.

If I run it set to the main monitor it works just fine.

My video card is a GeForce GTX 4080.

Is there anything different in Windows 11 that would cause this problem?

When I get to that PC I'll see what version of dgVoodoo I have and compare it to the latest version.

Found a temporary fix.

I pulled up OBS, turned on the virtual camera and set an open preview projector for the middle monitor. No lag that I can notice.

Still want to figure out the issue though as I don't like taking up two monitors for one game.

Could you try the _dbg version to see the log?

I tried this game on Win11 with the latest dgv release and it works for me forced to the secondary monitor too. (D3D)

I'll download and try it.

Thank you.

The new version did it. Game now runs on my middle monitor.

Question.

Is there anything that works like dgVoodoo only it makes older games that cannot run on 64 bit OS capable of running on 64 bit OS?
