Hi, well i am just testing this game and its a strange one - it has both 2d version exe and a 3d version. The 2D version plays like the old EA NHL dos games but in windows - this is all messed up natively, but if i run it in Dxwnd and include the DDrawcompat, then it looks nice and plays fine.
The 3D version however, it will run but then crash as soon as a game goes to start in Dxwnd. Outside of it, the graphics in the menus are all purple and blue and messed up, however it will go the 3d game, but the graphics there are messed up too.
its available on Myabandonware
Here is my Dxwnd log file - i would like to know what is causing the 3d to crash in Dxwnd all the time
interesting, i changed the settings in the Directx tab to be Direct X 11 and D3D9 and the 3d graphics now work great - albeit i can only make it work for full screen, for windowed mode it seems to insist that the window is not big enough and wont start
The game was published near 1998, so it ca't use neither DirectX9 or DirectX11. Your setting in practice excludes the ddraw and d3d hooking and the game runs in native mode as far as video is concerned. So, no wonder that DxWnd can't control the window size.
I'll try it ...
These are my working profiles. If you want to use them, if you mount the CD maybe you'll have to disable the virtual-CD features. Maybe same as for the CDA emulation.
