Re: DOSBox 0.74 CPU Benchmark

I ran this on my i9-9900KS @ 5.2 GHz and the framerate is actually LOWER (about 74 FPS) than my i7-7700K 5 GHz runs. Weird. I got 83 FPS in 800x600 in timedemo 1 in fullscreen mode, though.

Regarding Steam version issues - is there a way to delete saved game from GUI? Also 3D sound support is missing. It can be added back with MetaHook plugin MetaAudio , which shouldn't be used online because MetaHook is a gateway to modify engine operation at runtime, which again, is against rules. …

Say goodbye to A3D and go DSOAL ;) Binaries: http://vaporeon.io/hosted/dsoal-builds/ I love DSOAL, but those builds are almost a year out of date. They're perfectly working. And you can always rename the new OpenAL Soft 1.20.1 32 bit DLL to "dsoal-aldrv.dll" You can even try other OpenAL …

xash3d's that illegal source port that unfortunately gets smartypantsed around as blind 'this update fixes hl' advice... How is it illegal? Is the source code stolen from Valve or something? It is disappointing if it is illegal, as I imagined it might lead to source ports for various non-PC …

Valve never fixed unstable physics, did they? Surprisingly, they supposedly fixed the NPC turn rate bug 2 decades after original release. The thing when scientists just explode in the elevator in Blue-Shift is still hilarious. Illegal engine fixes that AFAIK, but I wonder if the bad Russians fixed …

Loading wheel/cursor shows up in Outlaws
Posted on 2020-02-14, 20:41
When I use dgVoodoo 2 with Outlaws, sometimes the loading wheel/cursor from Windows shows up in the middle of the screen during gameplay. Any help? Forcing V-Sync doesn't seem to help.

Last time I tried Xash3D it had an annoying audio stutter in loading screens and UI elements were flickering (I think it's because of a Nvidia bug that also seems to affect Cave Story+). It has had plenty of updates since then, but I think it was like half a year ago and left the impression that …

Heh, GOG version (vanilla without any additional patch) doesn't work for me either. I experience the same as you. Even if I launch it in windowed mode, I cannot switch to fullscreen manually. I suspect some window type flags were added in this version that aren't compatible with DXGI, or sg like …

It probably can't be fixed without modifying the code dealing with menus and transitions between game and menu windows. The menus are contained in separate GDI rendered windows (each submenu actually shows new window above the previous one) with some DirectDraw bits slapped in between. Well, damn …

For what it's worth, Half-Life's menu being busted is normal behavior even on Win9x machines with proper era-appropriate hardware. Valve couldn't code a stable frontend for a long time. It'd corrupt itself a lot trying to maintain a buffer for 640x480x16. There's registry keys about the menu in \ …

I see. I can't think of anything to fix it, sorry, but does it do it in all the renderers in the options screen, including software? If not, then that might be a clue towards the cause. First of all, though, you might want to try the Windows Engine port, Xash3D , https://github.com/FWGS/xash3d-fwgs …

What do you mean by 'pause' the game? I know HL has a pause button (at least I seem to recall that it does), but whenever I play HL, it's two expansions, or any of the mods, I pause the game by just pressing 'ESC' to go to the main menu, I never use the pause key. Have you tried pausing the game …

Here's a method I used when I refurbished Radeon HD4870X2 in 2014: First, I lit a candle and dropped a drop of hot paraffin on the cooler in places where it contacts the cooled chips. Then I assembled the card back to its previous shape with paraffin still hot. I disassembled it again after a few …
