Then just edit the VRAM value of another card?

Yes, but think about people not wanting to "mess with options".
Or Dege could fix that: Codename Outbreak 2.1/2.2.

I think a GeForce 2 Ultra / Radeon 7500 preset could be a good thing.

That's who I was thinking of. Adding more graphic cards would be adding more options, and not very useful since the box isn't likely to list that graphic card (the box for Codename: Outbreak doesn't even list the GeForce2 Ultra).

Unless you want to add all of them which is even more options.

Codename Outbreak crashes @start with more than 128 MB of VRAM.

How can that be? I just checked it out and runs fine with 1024MB. Must be a different game version.

mine is 2.1/2.2

Any idea about STALKER and full dynamic lighting (way more important 😁 and it's the "son" of Codename Outbreak :p ) ?

A "well know" preset for DX7-era GPUs (VGAs?) doesn't seem excessive. Max is 2 (GeForce 2 Ultra / Radeon 7500), just like GeForce4 Ti 4800 / Radeon 8500.

Ok, I've patched it to 2.1 but it's still running.

Let's move this into a separate topic.

Strange, now I got that error only setting the VRAM to 4096!

Probably a corrupt configuration file / file from different version.

You probably know, but setting VRAM to 4096 will crash a ton of games.

I got that error yesterday for ALL presets too, not only for 4096 (otherwise I would not asked for a new preset with 128 MB of VRAM).
It seems erratic, maybe related to the GPU "real" driver.

Many game interprets available video memory as a signed number in which interpretation 4096MB is a negative value (32 bit).
