Hello,

I have a very strange issue with Crusaders of Might and Magic. I use DGVoodoo a lot so I know how to launch a game with it, but this specific title is not working at all.

I copy all the needed files of DGVoodoo DirectX (.dll, .conf and the exe) in the directory where Crusaders.exe is located, set the DGVoodoo config and launch the game. The problem is that the game is completely ignoring DGVoodoo:
1)no watermark in the lower right (I use it to understand if DGVoodoo is active or not)
2)no resolution scaling
3)all graphic issues I have with native DirectX are still present

Do I have to place the files in another directory instead of the main one? Am I doing something wrong?

Many thanks for any kind suggestions.

Sorry for late feedback, my internet was out of order for some days.

To be honest I was hoping for a less... drastic solution than changing all ddraw references in the register. This is a little above my skills. I am sure this is safe but I do not know if I would be able to fix any error I could make.

I will try for alternative ideas, like virtual machines or other, to play this old game.

Thanks for kind help, I will let you know in case I discover something.
