Thanks! I could reproduce the issue. But there is something that I don't understand: my executable is 32 bit, not 64. Also, I don't have an UpdateSurface call with it, so the whole issue with it is irrelevant, the problem comes without it too. But why the different executables?

Thanks! Yep. In addition both textures are dynamic. Dynamic textures are not intended to be used this way. The question is, how does this work natively. I guess the game runs on some other code path. You can try if selecting another virtual card like the GF9800 help. I may be able to install this …

Thx. Other wrappers do not use DX11 so they are irrelevant in this regard. If I get it right there are no DX11 debug layer errors inside the virtual machine. If VMWare DX11 implementation improves, then dgVoodoo will work. Anyway, having dgVodooo working on VMware is out of scope, you can be fine …

Thanks! I created a new D3D9 build (64 bit spec-release), dumping a little more information in UpdateSurface: http://dege.fw.hu/temp/d3d9_updatesurface.zip Could you run the game with it again, plz? (tracing enabled)

Thanx. Yes, it's obvious that the black face is because of the failed texture data upload. But dgVoodoo frontend does some validation in UpdateSurface and if it fails, the call is not routed into the DX11/12 backend. And this is the case here. It's not failing in DX11 but dgVoodoo DX9 frontend code. …

Well, I'd like this to at least be seen as a curiosity test, but anyway — with the Shim EmulateHeap broken since Windows 11 22H2, and fearing that it might never be fixed (so far, it hasn't), I started looking for a more comprehensive alternative to run some games that depend on it. In search of …

I only tried the English version and it works for me. The game creates 2 windows, so enabling fake fullscreen in dgVoodoo is recommended, and you have to Alt-Tab to the real rendering window right after you launched the game.

I fixed it. The background picture of that scene differs from the English version because the name for Hotel Deep Six is modified to the Russian counterpart. The Russian background bitmap must have been saved with a different pixel format (that's why the glitch does not come with the English version …

Thanks for the log! Unfortunately I should have a look into it by debugging but I don't know how to run this game. If I get it right this is an online game which requires a server but there is none by today.

Thanks. However I cannot reproduce the glitch. I have a vanilla English installation (I don't know if the game language matters. Also, is there a widescreen patch for this game or the resolution is simply forced into 16:9 (because it's a 4:3 game by default)?

Yeah dunno what the deal is with the old gpu but the z-fighting significantly less than any of the modern implementations. The game has always had various issues with d3d9 implementations. I remember probably 10 years ago, glass reflections would flicker like crazy on AMD. My only guess is the …

Thanks! I cannot test the glass textures in the game because I don't have a vanilla installation at the moment, but I updated the .zip file so now the GF5700 should work.

Well, that's what I exactly thought of as well. On the one hand it's completely pointless and on the other hand dgVoodoo is not some inferior satellite project for dxvk, even if many people think it is. I don't care if dgVoodoo works with that or not, sorry.
