Hi,

I was eager to try out Test Drive 5 on Windows 10 by using nGlide and/or dgVoodoo 2 as Direct3D/Glide wrappers. Unfortunately, when a race is loading, it just crashes the game and sends me straight back to my desktop without any error messages appearing. Any ideas?

Also, when I use dgVoodoo 2 on Test Drive 5, the intro sequence and menu animations will experience some slowdowns.

Thanks!

Regards,
Katie Cadet

What happens if you run it in direct 3d without any wrapper's
other people have it running

Hi,

I tested with both Direct3D and Glide (Voodoo2) versions of Test Drive 5, and I also tried dgVoodoo's "Disable and pass through to real DirectX", then in the game, I started a race, same result. Also tried removing the dgVoodoo 2 wrapper out of the Test Drive 5 game directory (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Accolade\Test Drive 5), and again, same result.

Also tried fiddling around with the compatibility mode settings by setting the TD5_D3D.EXE and VOODOO2.EXE files to Windows 95, and that didn't help either, so I disabled compatibility mode and started the game in Direct3D Mode, and when I checked the graphics settings for the screen resolution, the game actually freezes for about a few seconds and then crashes to the desktop. I'm using an AMD Radeon RX 570 with an AMD Ryzen 5 processor on my Windows 10 setup.

I managed to get Test Drive 5 working on Windows 10 relatively easily.
What I had to do was apply the TestDrive 5 1.1 patch in Windows 95 compatibility mode. Then use dgVoodoo2 for the game on Windows 10.
Works flawlessly (so far). I have only tested that getting into a race works, not much more than that.
