Message: [QUOTE="The Real Thing, post: 416545, member: 3978"] Don't need to install DX8, just used DGVoodoo and can play at 1920x1080 no problems at all. It converts DX8 calls to more modern DX. Setting compatibility on exes and changing display settings also not necessary this way (at least here). Basically, install the game as outlined above, skip DX8 install, and [URL='https://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2/bin/dgVoodoo2_86_5.zip']download this instead[/URL]. In the zip, grab dgvoodoocpl.exe, the conf file, and throw those in this game's dir right next to the main exe. Then go into the zip's MS folder, x86, then grab all those dll files except for DX9 one, and place those next to the others in main game dir. Run the cpl file, and set how you like in the general and DirectX tabs. Can disable DGvoodoo watermark after confirming it all works. Apply settings, close it, and start Arcturus.exe and select the second option from top. DGVoodoo's virtual card should be selected by default, but do so if not.

So I'm wondering if the actual 3D assets also are not, but cba to confirm (but they look the same to me). As it stands, the game looks great either way, just pick the resolution you prefer. Lastly, thanks for the up. *nods* Proof of no DX8 install from dxdiag: [ATTACH type="full" alt="ScreenShot006.jpg"]148781[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
