Set Output API to Direct3D 12 or use dgVoodoo 2.54 or previous. It's a driver issue with AMD cards.

I've tried both suggestions but no luck still sadly. The graphics card on this computer isn't AMD btw (it's Nvidia Geforce RTX 3080)

I have a 3090, and it works fine here so it's likely not a driver bug.

Those settings are wrong... you need to select your card, not All of them; and you need to select Full screen output; also try Direct 3d 11

Does your CPU have an integrated GPU?

When I go to adapters, it has two listed: AMD Radeon graphics, and Nvidia Geforce 3080. It is a laptop so I guess the AMD Radeon is the integrated GPU.

I have tried selecting Nvidia Geforce 3080 instead of "all" adapters but still no luck, and have tried all the different Direct 3D 11 options.

Also, when I launch the game, I have to choose between these 3 options:

Both of the dgvoodoo options are the same (I don't know why there are two though). If I choose software rasterization, the ingame menu is a static white (no graphics show up on moving cursor) and if I enter a race there are textures. With the dgVoodoo DirectX Wrapper there are no textures at all on any in-game objects when trying to play a race.

Have you turn on some option in nvidia control panel ?

So, have you tried output API 'Direct3D11 MS WARP'?
That one should work, altough very slowly, because it's a software renderer, independent on your hw.

No matter what you're changing, you always get the same - are you sure you're editing the same config file that the game reads?

This was it! Thank you! The game was forced to run on the integrated AMD card regardless of what I set it to in dgvoodoo settings. When I switched it to the geforce 3080 in the nvidia control panel it works perfectly!

And this can happen with all games

Hi there, I'd tried a number of times to solve this with little success, with a few forums saying it wasn't possible to solve, which was frustrating to say the least! I loved this game when I was a kid, and was really keen to play it again.

I'm running the game on Windows 10, on an integrated AMD graphics chip on a Ryzen 5 4000 series CPU, if you're interested

On more recent versions of DGvoodoo (2.77 and above), after the usual installation process (deposit the entire zip file into the game directory and run DGVoodoocpl) I have found if you simply tick 'Fast video memory access' on the Direct X tab, the game seems to run perfectly. This option also seems to work for a number of other games with similar issues. Posting here as I'd struggled to find a solution previously, and hoping other frustrated users may also find it works.
