I'm trying to run this game and it just crashes with the latest version of dgVoodoo2 with default settings.

That's a custom DDraw wrapper, I've tried it already, it doesn't bring any of the improvements from dgVoodoo2, and I want those to improve the game's experience greatly.

The game makes an invalid call into DDraw (creating a 0x0 texture) and dgvoodoo cannot help with that.
That patch seems to patch that call(s) implemented in ddra2.dll, so you can still copy dgvoodoo files to the game. It worked for me.
