Hi everyone, I'm trying to make this game work in directdraw mode, when I start the game and move the mouse a few centimeters the game dies, I tried with all the existing wrappers but to no avail, any help?

MY SYSTEM: Windows 10 Pro

P.s: changing dgvoodoo's api rendering output to the newer one seems to give more tolerance to the mouse, but it happens again.

Works fine here. Have you patched the game to the latest version? The retail build is unstable.

There are only two versions: Retail and one patch. I'm running the patched version.

Abandonware is not supported here.

thank you for your help, I was able to download the patch on the net and apply it to the game, now the directdraw version works without problems!

Despite actually speedrunning this game myself, I didn't realize there was a patch out there. Can't find any update notes on what it fixed though. I've always had mild mouse issues with this game, but the only crashes I consistently experience is a random crash on the final level depending on which weapon I use.
