joy2key doesn't give you analog controls does it? That seems like a bad idea for a racing game. A standard Xbox 36o controller works out of the box here.

Obviously, that's very hardware specific. Lower end users should use post-processing AA*, mid end users should use MSAA and high end users should use downsampling. * Which I really wish would be added to dgVoodoo soon. Driver options work, but that means dgVoodoo's scaling options can't be used.

Decided to do some testing since I wanted to know if there's any mouse agnostic ways of setting polling rate and I ran into this: https://github.com/LordOfMice/hidusbf It installs a driver/service with no clear uninstall instructions... So yeah, not recommended. But it did allow me to test a 31hz …

I tried running it a few minutes and couldn't get it to crash. Does Event Viewer show any events at the same time as the crash?

I noticed that too. I suspect it isn't coded to even handle 125hz mice, Windows 9x is apparently limited to 40hz. I don't know any software workaround for mouse polling rate issues.

Not any specific things, but some things to try: 1) Make sure you're using dgVoodoo (check if the watermark shows), I've seen native ddraw cause crashes in other games. 2) Run in compatibility mode for Windows 98 (or if you know how to use compatibility administrator, enable just the EmulateHeap fix …

I did download it and test it, and it definitely has the mouse polling issue I mentioned. I mean it is possible you have another unrelated issue with the exact same symptoms, but I sort of doubt it. Check that Logitech actually properly sets the mouse polling rate to 125hz (for example https:// …

I also didn't spot that you were on Windows 7. Direct3D 12 sometimes gives better performance, but it's not available on Windows 7.

It definitely should. Try another mouse.

Try setting dgVoodoo's output to D3D12, for the FPS problem.

Reduce your mouse polling rate. Most gaming mice should have applications that allow you to set application profiles. Personally I just leave it at 125hz all the time because I know way too many games with this problem (plus it saves a lot of battery).

Check under "%LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Take 2 Interactive\Frog City\Trade Empires" that you don't have a TradeEmpires.ini there with SoftwareDevice set to 1.

Not missing files then. So a few minutes of experimentation later reveals that SoftwareDevice=1 in TradeEmpires.ini makes the game look as your screenshot. It's not a default option, so I have no idea why you would have it set, but change it back to 0.

Trade Empires_2022_01_18_11_18_37_706.jpg Works fine here. Seems to be a "you" problem. If it has the same issue without dgVoodoo, I would assume a bad copy of the game.

I can get a perfect integer scale with the pixels showing as 2 x 2 or 4 x 4 for a single pixel. I think perfect integer scaling is overrated. It gives you an absurdly sharp, blocky image, something that CRT does not. I've said this to you before, but simulating a CRT is far from everyone's goal. I …

Works fine here. Since it sounds like a timing issue, check in task manager that your uptime is less than 1 day.
