Are you using the GoG release or the old (patched to D3D8) CD version?

Addendum (to clarify)

It happens only @ un-zooming.

Un-zooming with the sniper rifle mode of the blaster.

Unfortunately the issue is still present on my 290X.

Thanks!

About Republic Commando, bumpmapping is now in a good shape but some little artifacts remain:

Anyone can test with an old (2005) system and bumpmapping set to High?

About Pariah, here's a good point to see the strange white-saturation effect on weapon skin: "Generator Room" level, after che first combat on the ground floor!
In this point there's clearly a *FAKE* light source, but this light source affects Native MS D3D8 and dgVoodoo D3D8 cube(bump?)map implementation in really different way.

*Native MS

*dgVoodoo:

Not a big deal, but maybe it shows the implementation deviation.

"Green tint screen" in Splinter Cell (3) VERSUS (the multiplayer part of Chaos Theory), after exiting the heat vision (spy).
With Native MS D3D8 there's no such problem.

Thanks!! 😎
The good news is those bugs are fixed.
Both were related to shader constants, I found a bug in a basic function and a sort of lack of compliance to the DX8 shader reg interval specifications. This could explain other things like the weapon in Pariah but I didn't checked it yet. Could the game be saved in Pariah somehow? Or it offers only checkpoints through an autosave mechanism?
I also have problems with SP/SP2 savegames. I download one from the net and try to load that into the game with no effect. Nothing happens. 😕

Yes, testing it on a contemporary hardware would be cool, what I get natively on my rig look awful.

Then the only way to go is to get such a card and trace down what exactly its driver doesn't like.

Cause they are linked to a profiled user?

Up for this 😁 (So I can test, I have both versions)

Tested now AquaNox on Win7 64 (STEAM version 1.21). D3D8 engine.
Without any wrapper it crashes @start. With DXWnd it runs.

So maybe Dege can make some magic 😁

Hey now, it's not that bad... 😉

Tried to use this on Re-Volt so ReShade could work.
ReShade didn't work but i know it ran since d3d11 left a log, it gave some errors drawing the HUD (it used the loading screen textures instead of the HUD ones), but after running the game again it worked for some reason.

Also tried on StarWars Episode 1 Racer, it only worked if i ran with dxwnd, otherwise it still didn't work.

Does not Steam version of AquaNox work with dgVoodoo? GoG version works for me.

OK, I think I wanted to write "preventing from start". 😀

Last time I tried Episode 1 Racer it worked.

Maybe he's using the custom installer, in which case it uses WineD3D by default. He should remove the following:

d3d10.dll
d3d10core.dll
d3d11.dll
d3d9.dll
dxgi.dll

If any of them are present and run the unpatched exe (which is included).

No sir!

Steam version works for me, native and with dgVoodoo. I had to set Windows 98 compatibility mode though.

Not for me, Win7 64.
With DXWnd it runs well.
