Fabio, did you ever have a list of supported games? Maybe if we published a list of what used to work then people might test some of them.
And it would be good to have a list of games that we can potentially support.

I have indeed planned for the oGLi (heh, say that out loud and it sounds like "ugly", but oh well, it looks cool and isn't conflicting with GLi or OGL. 😜) website to have a compatibility list on it. Here are some steps I'm thinking of as far as getting this compiled:
Hopefully my ideas are legible. 😜
(Sorry about the weird format of the third ordered list item, it's all vBulletin's fault. 😁)
Yes, it’s my fault.
hummm, great idea, I used to run Unreal Tournament (almost perfect), UltraHLE (almost perfet) and some others... dont remember... 😀
But the idea is good, we need to start it, I will see all glide games I have.
I've got Independence War 1 that I could probably try out, if I ever got around to it. And Ultima IX.
I have, uh, Red Baron 3D, and, uh, Carmageddon, and, err, GTA. Hm. There's gotta be a list somewhere I can go through.
Yes, it’s my fault.

You mean a list of Windows games that use Glide, correct?
And I have Wing Commander Prophecy, the original Unreal, MechWarrior 2: Mercenaries (which I believe did Glide after the final patch), and Jane's Longbow 2...
Well, if you can try these games and tell us... 😀
hey snoover, dont you think I could be a moderator on the OpenGLide forum? 😜
I should mention: I can't make Hind, Mechwarrior or SpecOps work. None of these are problems with graphical glitches. They just don't work at all. Hind seems to make all the right calls, but OpenGL keeps saying "Invalid operation". My suspicion is that the screen is being left in a full-screen DirectX mode, and this gets in the way of OpenGL operation; just a guess, but that happens in Glidos with full-screen DOS modes. Luckily with Glidos, I have a work around, but it is DOS specific.
Nicht (dude, WTH is your real name? heh): Yes, a list of Windows Glide games.
Fabio: Heheh, oops 😜 You'll be an admin as soon as I'm done writing this. 😀
Paul: Um, okay, that's confusing. Why would a DX window cause OGL to fail? Can't you force the DX window to close or something (at least as a temporary kluge)?
Yes, it’s my fault.

This is just a guess, but certainly full-screen DOS is a special case and stops other windows overlaying, so who knows what full-screen DX window does. I don't know - the problem could be anything.
You can close a DX window if you know its handle, but without the handle I'm not sure you can do much.

Ok, saw some DOS games in the discussion.

*gasp* *clutches head with hands* My name is WTH?!? Then... THEN... MY WHOLE LIFE IS A LIE!!!!!!!
Oh, come on. You were asking for that. What? Not a fan of German spelling rules?
As soon as I got some free time I will jump into fixing bugs and making other thigns work... 😀

Love to see Hind working. 😁 My messing with Hind wasn't just for testing; I want to play it 😀

What is your real name?
What do you call yourself?
¿Cómo te llamas?
Yes, it’s my fault.

Sure! I'll try to get around to it, but I can't guarantee expediency. I'm feeling kinda lazy right now. 😀

Put the lazyness alway and show us the results.... 😀

Might I suggest you use cookies instead of session IDs sent via GET requests? That should help fix the problem. I'm not sure why you people keep getting timeouts, heh
Yes, it’s my fault.
