Also tested the vsync and fps limit, the fps limit needed to be higher than the refresh frequency for me, so that the mouse would not skip too much. Game works great even in fullscreen with the old drivers, no freezing or anything anymore. dxwnd is still a great help though, since I can run the game at 1.5 or 2 - it's a lot better to play with.

Oh thanks a lot, didn't know about the expert mode. It was actually the GPU drivers - I checked and I had lag spikes on a lot of old games(kohan 2, aim). In case anybody has the same issue - it seems windows 10 does install driver updates without asking, they can be disabled from the policies menu, the drivers can be cleaned wtih ddu, and older drivers usually do wonders - for me 15.12 works fine (I am using a r9 290) - no more lag spikes on older games.

It's a french cd version of the game. But I tried other versions too and the problem persists. In the end I tested some other old games and for some reason they lag too (newer games do not), I can only assume it has something to do with the GPU drivers update windows 10 did, since they didn't use to lag before. I am not sure whether you'll be able to replicate the issue since on my other pc the game works just fine (and it's the same version and the same windows too). I can't make fake-fullscreen...

Hi! I recently tried running Magic & Mayhem again, and noticed it had periodic freezes, this didn't happen before so I am not sure whether it's from a windows 10 update or something else. So I decided to try and run it with dxwnd. The good thing is that it works just fine in windowed mode - no freezes (though I need to use hybrid mode since for some reason I ocasionally get surface was not locked when using primary surface). The freezes still persist in fullscreen mode. I am not sure what the reason...
