Can you please develop a fix for Shadow Warrior the same way as for Blood.

The game is uses BUILD Engine same as Blood , two games on same build engine.

They seems uses same 3dfx buggy aperience, Shadow Warrior tries to draw vertical strip lines same way as Blood.

I guess it will be not hard, since its already implemented for Blood and its just need to be adopted for Shadow Warrior.

You should be able to try that out yourself. All the tricks specific to certain games are configurable. Just create a new configuration and set the options the same as for Blood. Blood uses two of the features under the heading of "Fiddles", one being "Blood fix" and the other "Texture cache for palette tricks"

I've had a go at getting it to work, but no luck. With the steam version, the directory layout is very strange: there is no DOS4GW exe at the top level and then there's about ten subdirectories each with its own exe. I tried running each one through Glidos, and some started under DOSBox, but didn't commuicate with Glidos: not surprising really with no 3DFX patch. I would try using the patch, but I'm not sure how. The GoG version is worse: no DOS4GW exes at all.

I also found an old instalation of SW on my computer. That was patched for 3DFX. It looks like I've tried to get it working long ago with no success.

Nope. The version from the archive I was passed at least initialises Glide and opens a window, but then there's nothing. I was hoping that the log from the Glidos start up window would show something odd, but no.
