Oh, so it's an engine optimization problem then? Probably might be.

That's ok, at least it's something, thanks for the help 😁, I'm sure Dege will shed more light on this matter.

I unfortunately don't have any 32-bit OS installed in any computer, and can't dual boot it either. But I'm sure this problem happens in any version of Windows above 7, regardless if it's 32-bit or 64-bit, if you can test Aliens versus Predator 2 as well with dgVoodoo on your 32bit OS (but can't be …

So this issue is caused mainly in the LithTech 2.0, 2.2 and Talon versions of the engine, maybe even earlier versions, but haven't tested such games. NOLF 1, Sanity: Aiken's Artifact, Die Hard: Nakatomi Plaza, Legends of Might and Magic, Aliens versus Predator 2 all suffer from this problem, and …

So this game only runs in GPUs with up to 128 MB of VRAM, I set that in dgVoodoo, the game starts normally, but then becomes stuck in this Graphics Hardware Test and doesn't go through it. Can anyone help me on this? I already chose every GPU on the DirectX list (game uses DX8), but nothing worked, …

bandicam is inferior software, use obs. I've been recording games for 10 years now, and always use either Bandicam or Action with the hardware-accelerated NVENC H.264 encoder, since my GPU doesn't support the HEVC one. And I get no lag at all in almost all games that I play. With OBS, it's a …

Actually this only happens with the D3D8/DDraw/DDImm files. Using the Glide and D3D9 (either x64 or x86) files in games that use those APIs, it runs just fine without any crashes, even with the latest version of dgVoodoo. I don't know why that happens specifically with those.

So, whenever I open Bandicam and go to any game to record with the recent versions of dgVoodoo, the games just crash right after it hooks (I suppose?). But this doesn't happen with previous versions, like 2.75.1, Bandicam hooks into the dgVoodoo's DLLs just fine. But I don't wanna use older versions …

Yeah, that worked. It runs fine with whatever other virtual card there is. Thanks a lot man!

So, when I boot the game with dgVoodoo 2.79.2 (latest version), this shows up: https://i.imgur.com/ZdvFaxj.png These are my dgVoodoo settings: https://i.imgur.com/mZM5yOw.png https://i.imgur.com/fPhGt95.png Looks like the game can't detect dgVoodoo as a supported renderer. Is there a file somewhere …

Yeah I agree, the game's framerate just isn't natural at all, I remember the PS2 and Xbox versions running better than this PC version. Also seems like a lazy PC port, with very low res textures and simple shading, even for 2002 standards. I was trying to find out the specific hex address in the EXE …

Update: Now suddenly works again. Thanks anyway.

Yes, I deleted all dgVoodoo files, and put D3D9.dll, dgVoodoo.cpl and a new dgVoodoo.conf as well, it still doesn't work. I tried all possible configs in DirectX tab in the dgVoodoo control panel, and nothing works. Check it out: https://i.imgur.com/vtlIgB6.png https://i.imgur.com/8l4mW0n.png …

Yeah my bad, it uses DirectX 9. I tried with D3D9.dll instead with dgVoodoo, and the same thing happens. It won't work anyway, thanks for the answer.

So when I start the game with dgVoodoo, a splash screen shows up at a low resolution (bypassing dgVoodoo for some reason) and then the game just closes. Natively with DX8, works just fine without any crashes, albeit at a very low framerate during gameplay on Windows 10 (sometimes even below 10 fps). …
