I did a quick try with FIFA09 demo but everything worked as expected. Do I need the full version? Or some special in-game settings, or mod? That's weird, i tried the demo myself, but it has the same issue as with the full version. Here are my settings below and the bug itself (although the final …

Direct3D 12 will try to retain video contents in vram, and the reading from rtss is basically faulty data for vram allocations because it measures Committed Total of all processes, not process dedicated.

You can use CreateDXGIFactory1 and it will create the swapchain as necessary to the capabilities of the OS currently being used, pcsx2 recently force broke windows 7 support with the intention of only supporting 8.1 and 10 but just that one line change restored win7 support with the rest of their " …

hey Dege, do you do any DXT unpacking before uploading to the graphics card? It's come to my attention recently that nvidia has broken dithering in their DXT3/5 support but it only seems to affect dx9 (sims 3 in particular), trying to work out if recommending dgvoodoo to the affected users would be …

Examples would be any nvidia GPU with recent-ish drivers. I have personally tested a wide range of cards from the 6600GT to the GTX1080, and they all do not render the glass bumpmap. Neither do AMD cards for that matter. I suspect this is due to the games config.txt system that has a whole bunch of …

Or more probably a bug in dgVoodoo's shader code generator (although I never experienced a driver crash with wrong shader code, instead, the rasterization simply didn't run (nvidia driver)). Unfortunately I cannot get to the place in question ingame. I only managed to explore the tutorial levels. …

Well, not... I realized I'd need to login into the game in the same way as for FFXI. But, if it's a 8 bit paletted game, doesn't 'Reduced color mode' with 8 bit 256 color helps for that? I encountered 2 other games with the same problem. You don't need to login, here's a demo (and you want the demo …

2.52 broke menu's and textures in FF8, i can't seem to find a configuration that makes them work in this and builds after. Edit: paletted textures screwing up, 8500 swaps the weird colours/texture garbling for black boxes.

hey dege, is there any chance you can add the ability to force/change color depth in the dx wrapper. The reason i ask is that it appears currently it honors the applications requested screen mode, which poses a problem on Geforce 8 and higher nvidia architectures as they did away with dithering in …

it depends on the glide build you use. i find it easiest with yhkwongs 3dfx build, i can tell by the title bar if the cycles are rising properly as they should be over 100,000 by the time the protected mode message appears. i've found if it doesn't increase, then changing the core type to auto while …

Guys, just make sure your cycles are actually increasing. Dosbox has been iffy for awhile with the cycles not working as they should. on both trunk and the glide custom builds, sometimes starting it with auto has it stick at 3000 cycles http://image.svijethardvera.com/thumbs/dosboxauto.jpg , or with …
