Re: MechWarrior 2 3Dfx Edition doesn't load HUD in mission as well as pause menu

Is there a playable demo of the 3Dfx version, or maybe the game itself is abandonware? Where can I download the needed stuff?

DNF corrupted polygons: the game feeds D3D8 with transformed vertices where some of them have negative homogenous w coordinates. Other wrappers probably just throw them to the hw for rasterization in clipping space (no other choice through a modern API) which causes them to get clipped out in the …

I implemented the flip-discard swap effects for D3D11. You can test it with WIP86.1: Re: dgVodooo 2.7.x and related WIP versions (2)

Flip model is required for Auto HDR to engage, and is actually one of the reasons specified by Microsoft why they're working on their new optimizations for windowed games which automatically tries to convert legacy BitBlt model presentation to modern flip model. This is consistent with this: Note …

You could try to restart your computer to zero the OS uptime and see if anything changes. For example, Extreme G-2 is a game where the actual FPS depends on the uptime because of the inaccurate (float precision instead of double) internal timing calculations: the higher uptime, the lower FPS...

I guess it's a "factory" limit for the game engine. I don't know if it can be removed, or if already there is a patch for that.

You mean discard (DXGI_SWAP_EFFECT_DISCARD) and flip-discard (DXGI_SWAP_EFFECT_FLIP_DISCARD) effects? Sequential modes only provide swapchain buffers content to be kept but dgVoodoo does not need that feature, it'd only lower the presentation performance. Anyway, I didn't care about the swap effect …

LOL! Thanks! How can this even be? The cause of the crash is "out of memory". When memory allocation (address space allocation) exceeds 2GB then further allocations fail and the game eventually crashes. (In dgVoodoo I even make the process crash on purpose in critical core parts on failed …

Any chance you have MSI afterburner running in the background when trying the game through DX12?

Just copy the D3D9.DLL from the x86 or x64 folder (depending on the game 'bitness') into the folder where the executable is, and that should be enough.

Re: Issues with Intel HD 3000 (Gen6) and Intel HD 4000 (Gen7) iGPUs and dgVoodoo

New drivers don't even support the requested minimum of feature level 10.0 (like structured buffers) while old ones do. In fact, Intel seems to have converted HD3000 into a DX9-level GPU by the new drivers. While this is weird, this is the solution.

That wasn't free to download, so I didn't check it out. Or, I might misunderstood it all.
