Ok, we are finally on good way, im in game. Thanks to Narzoul and his ability to analyze dump files.
When i deleted that:
C:\Windows\SysWoW64\a3dapi.dll .. im now i game. I dont really remember if graphics is looked as it should - Direct3D device is names Gog HW patch.. graphics not look too much nice, becaue of my memory im not sure if this how it supposed to look at the best.. or its some Gog pseudo SW rendering hack. BTW with dgVoodoo and others is possible to use higher res than 1024x768?, in registry is something about 1600x1200. Resolution settings is designer by some moror - i need right click for lower it and left for higher res..
No go version no giving me just some blinking and autoclose, no more black screen, so now it could be finally videocard related.. Gog has some Direct3D patch, retail has not, im still not 1.7.0 vanilla.
Otherwise i thing that delete some system *.dll file is not proper way how to fix? Does someone now if is files is part of Realtek drivers or from where it came from? Its possible to make some workaround for game to ignore this file is Windows system fodler?
Other strange thing is that minimally Gog version is probably ignoring that -nosound parameter, because sound is working.. at least somehow.. i heard some stuttering.
Im old goal oriented goatman, i care about facts and freedom, not about egos+prejudices. Hoarding=sickness. If you want respect, gain it by your behavior. I hate stupid SW limits, SW=virtual world, everything should be possible if you have enough raw HW.
