HI rcblanke, I apologize if I rubbed you up the wrong way. I truly appreciate all the hard work you've put into DBGL, as it's definitely one of the best free frontends available for MS-DOS games. :) What is the tool you referred to for recreating the database? The only file I no longer have is the …

Hi Alexis, I like DBGL, but it could certainly do with more import/export options and also the option of backing up all the important database files or even just a reminder for people like me who don't know where all the info is stored. Unfortunately, it looks like I have no choice but to reinstall …

Hello, I recently upgraded to DBGL 0.98 final and now I've lost all of my games. I downloaded the latest zip file and extracted the update to my DBGL folder and started it up and now all I get is a blank database. I've done this before many times without any problems, so does anyone have any idea …

I used DgVoodoo 2 and selected the ATI graphics card and also used the D3DDrv.dll fix. I then turned Stencils on and T & L Hardware Lighting off in the default.ini file and the main characters shadows appeared all the time including some of the NPC characters. Unfortunately doing this disabled some …

I know this is an old thread, but here's how to get this game working on modern hardware. Download the ISO DVD from REMOVED which includes FS WWI Mod and also includes Fighter Squadron and an up-to-date version with patch 1.6.0.6. incorporated. Install into separate directories. For Fighter Squadron …

Hi, BEEN_Nath_58, I tried after uninstalling the Creative X-Fi drivers, but still not working properly with onboard Realtek Audio. The Titanium 3dfx Edition is working more or less perfectly with dgVoodoo 1, and I also tried the latest dgVoodoo 2 version 2.79 that is now showing the HUD, but it has …

Hi, BEEN_Nath_58, I switched to my onboard Realtek sound and it's the same result, still no speech during the game, but if I remove tweak: slowdown exceptions, the speech returns but the game runs too fast. Is there no other setting that slows the game down? If not I'll just have to keep …

Hi Been_Nath_58, I see the latest dgVoodoo 2 now works a lot better with the 3dfx versions of Mechwarrior 2, the HUD now displays, but there's still some weird flashing/shimmering effect on the HUD. I've tried different settings in both dgVoodoo and DXWind without success. Maybe you'll have better …

Hi, BEEN_Nath_58 , I'll continue to mess about with the expert settings and see if I can get it working properly. It's nearly there, just missing the in-game speech which seems to be caused by the tweak: slowdown exceptions. If I remove it the speech returns, but then the game is back to being too …
