UPDATE 2: This issue STILL hasn't been fixed over the course of several updates to Nvidia's drivers, and I have to keep rolling back to the one build that doesn't cause this issue. It's becoming a problem now because I now have to choose between downloading the new drivers to play certain games that …

UPDATE: Okay apparently it was a GPU driver issue, I switched to Nvidia's Studio Drivers instead and now the issue is gone. Thanks for the suggestions.

I've been noticing a trend lately where there's nasty flickering artifacts all over everything when using the Direct3D 12 output with the 3DFX Glide wrapper. Problem is, there are some games that have frequent lag and/or lockups on if I use anything OTHER than Direct3D 12 output. This happens in …

There is absolutely no reason to play the original release that's like "there's absolutely no reason to watch the original b&w films when there's colorized versions" When it comes to context with wrappers/emulators, brushing away issues because there's some new port or whatever out there doesn't …

What happend on Win7 was, the game would lock up during the intro part. The .sdb file that I provided brought it back (EmulateDirectDrawSync tweak) along with another DxWnd tweak (Supress FOURCC blit capability in DirectX(2) tab, enable Expert mode from the Options menu in Menu bar). skip_intro …

I use DxWnd + dgVoodoo2 now. Although I used TFix once upon a time, the videos stopped working once (which was again a Windows update), I reverted to DxWnd and dgVoodoo2, and never came back. The 1024x768 resolution and the legacu GPU features along with video support kept me there (and same for …

That was one of the reasons why I decided to build a retro PC. I dislike game mods (in general, not just for Thief) because they usually don't separate critical bug fixes (i.e. stuff needed to make the game run on modern systems) from unnecessary gameplay alterations. P.S. Nothing against people …

The problem with trying to run the original unmodified game on modern Windows is you really can't (well you can but there will be issues). There is a reason TFIX was made and also a reason that Newdark was created. With that said NewDark isn't necessary but TFIX is unless you want to jump through …

So I've been wanting to revisit Thief Gold recently, but I want to have the original gameplay experience, so I installed the original version instead of NewDark . So far the game itself runs fine, but the cutscene videos won't play! Everywhere else I've looked it's been pretty much just suggesting …

So from what I've read, Interstate '76 loves to have a fit with dgVoodoo's directdraw wrapper. Whenever I launch the game and get past the opening cutscenes, the cursor is completely frozen on the main menu. I've tried a whole bunch of different settings and nothing seems to budge. I have noticed …

TBH, I don't know. I just gave Turok 1-2 a quick go with the latest dgv version and they worked fine. Must be something on your side. Maybe some third party GPU/overlay stuff installed that's affecting D3D1x? Or a very old GPU? I have a RTX 2060, I don't think it's a hardware issue. Not using any …
