Hello,
I love Stronghold. The HD version of it is a quick cashgrab with a patch to "support" widescreen resolutions, but the UI doesn't scale at all, so you end up looking at the tiny interface which I hate so much.
I'd love to use dgVoodoo with Stronghold to be able to stretch, say, 800x600 to my desktop resolution to avoid changing the resolution on my desktop and messing up my windows and icons. The vast, vast majority of old games have no problems with dgVoodoo at all and I can use the scaling mode "Stretched, 4:3 aspect ratio" to get bigger UI.
However, when I try to use dgvoodoo v2.79.3 with Stronghold, all I get is the loading bar, and then a completely black screen with the game working behind it. Could someone help out? Maybe there's a solution I'm missing - I looked everywhere and tried lots of dgVoodoo options, and none of them solve this problem.
Running:
RTX 3080 Ti, driver 527.37
Windows 10 Pro 21H2
I tried various compatibility settings on the .exe and tried flipping lots of checkboxes in dgVoodoo's control panel, but nothing helped.
I also tried dgVoodoo v2.54 and the same behavior can be observed.
Regards,
NT
