Hi, I've got few problems. I can run Blood, Carmageddon, Quake, Unreal etc. but Shadow Warrior still doesn't work. I can't get high resolutions and everything is in greyscale. Only sometimes the colors flash - when you start or exit from game or pick up something. It's really bad.

Also, don't ya know how to get Blood to run 16:9?

I'm using Win 7 + VDMSound + dgVoodoo 1.50b2
Don't mention DosBox - good for oldies, not for 3d.

Sure, but wonder what you'd do with those in the above sentences 😀

I don't know if there was any patch like for Blood. Send a link.

I don't use Glidos. I won't buy Glidos. Never figured out how to work with it.
dgVoodoo is good and one of only comprehendable and usable wrappers for me.

If Blood can run in hi-res then so can SW. You could try to copy the video section from blood.cfg into sw.cfg. That's a lazy way to do it.

I was attempting to find a problem in sw.cfg and tried all video modes and also changing resolutions. No change - lo-res and grayscale. Only color mode is RedBlue Stereo. However it's scrambled.

EDIT 20.6.: I dld some version of SW and SW3Dfx patch. It looks like it works, but doesn't show anything but a black screen, even in nonGlide mode.
