I used to be able to play Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 without any issues in Win 11 using dgVoodoo, recently I decided to fire it up again after a reasonable break (a few years). What I am finding is that when I get to the courses screen it is blank, no courses are showing (I have attached a screenshot).

I am using dgVoodoo v2.86.1 with the x86 MS dll files with Win 11 24H2. Any ideas?

Hm... If you can provide me a copy of this game or game RIP in private somehow then I could look into it, otherwise unfortunately not.

Probably a regression bug in dgVoodoo (if the courses screen is fine natively).

Thanks again for the help!

So, I checked it out (dgVoodoo 2.86.1) but that screen is not empty for me. I've just quickly created a new golfer and went thorugh "Game Modes" -> "Custom Game" -> Next -> Next to get to the courses screen:

Tiger-Woods-PGA-TOUR-R-08-2025-05-09-22-29-16.png

Maybe it's not a rendering error but the list is just simply empty for some reason (having to do sg with the golfer character or sg like that)?

Thanks for checking it out Dege, very odd. Must be something on my PC that is blocking something, really strange.

Just a small update:

So it turns out it was my PC that was the issue not dgVoodoo, appologies for blaming it! I use an answer file when installing Windows 11 and I think some of the options I had set was inferfering with something, not sure what exactly but I reinstalled Windows without using the answer file and now all is well with the world again. I can play TW08 just fine.

I am using it with dgVoodoo and DXWnd, love DXWnd. So much better playing in a window, makes games look better not being streatched to a 4K res.
