Hello,

When you start Recoil with the parameter /campaigns you will get an extra selection menu in the main window.
With dgvoodoo v2.55 the texts rendered properly for me as I mentioned here Recoil (1999) HUD text missing (DirectX)
v2.79.1 and v2.79 don't render the HUD texts, I did not test any other version.
You need to set memory fast access in the DirectX submenu with dgvoodoocpl, otherwise many textures will not load.

The patch only works with the US DirectX exe file.
Only 8 offsets need to be changed in the game exe, you can do it manually with the hex editor of your choice or use my crude patcher.

X:
0x7D4B
0x7D63
0x7D7B
0xA6E88

Y:
0x7D46
0x7D5E
0x7D76
0xA6EA6

If you want to use my patcher, do a backup of the original exe file, place my patcher in the same folder as Recoil.exe, start the patch and type in the desired resolution.

Change the resolution to 1024x768 in the starter-menu for your custom res to load.

The HUD background image does not get scaled and causes artifacts, just press F6 and F5 to adjust the layout, most people play it without it anyway.
