First of all, thanks for dgVoodoo 2, as it is essentially the only way to run CryoGen games ('Odyssey', 'Time Machine', both 'Arthur's Knights' and 'Thorgal') on modern PCs! Those games do not run correctly on nVidia cards for maybe 15 years already, and on Radeon cards for about 5 years.

However, I still have some issues with 'Odyssey'. Namely, the background 'plates' for dialogue topics are not displayed with dgVoodoo. I think I have tried all the possible settings... Maybe someone could help please?

Here is how it should look like (the screenshot is taken with the game running on built-in Intel graphics):

And here is how it looks with DgVoodoo:

I was aware of this issue. This comes from the combination of a certain limitation of dgVoodoo and the bad api driving of the game.
Anyway, now I re-patched the executable (Odyssey) and uploaded to my site.
Plz re-download it from the Patches section.

Yes, I copied his work from the Russian version executables into the English ones.

See this thread: Arthur's Knights with dgvoodoo

I can't remember if Odyssey had a separate Russian version exe though. But the one I uploaded contains both patches.
