OK, I spent some more time playing with FPS limiting and discovered I needed to limit it way more than I thought. I believe the correct timing, at minimum, is one that prevents a voice line from being audible when the next voice line starts. I recorded some footage using two setups: Win10 64-bit w/o FPS limiting: https://youtu.be/KwxTeP0SdJE Win98 SE in PCem: https://youtu.be/bCvL4enoUac When searching on youtube, I found a recent upload using what appears to be a VM. No idea if it's authoritative...

Hi gho! Popping in here to say thank you for this guide - I was able to get Deicide 3 up and running on 64-bit Win10. That said, the game is still running noticeably faster me - including the opening cinematic. I've spent some time playing with the FPS and System speed options under the Timing tab. Note the audio plays at the correct speed, but all the animations are sped up. I can record some video if that would be helpful. Thanks!

Glad to hear you're making progress. Guess I didn't understand that the attached dxw file was for experimental purposes. I had briefly experimented with the 3DFX version of the executable and nGlide when getting the game running initially (many youtube videos suggest this method to getting the game running). I forget why but this avenue was unsuccessful for me initially, but I should likely return to it and at least document the behavior if I am indeed having problems.

I tried using the attached dxw export file and the game was unplayable for me. The menu loaded up fine, but the camera was locked and I couldn't control it once I got into the game. When I was in the menu, a duplicate cursor (it was the in-game UI cursor and the windows cursor was the duplicate). I've continued playing more into the game with my config and it continues to play fine minus the alt-tab and that software mode is uglier. I'll update if I find that it crashes somewhere later in the ga...

The Software mode option was one that I picked when I was initially getting the game to run on Win10 period before even getting into the issue of using dxwnd. I'm not sure if other options are important, but I've run the game in both 640x480 and 1024x768 resolution, DirectSound checked, and FullHUD and CD Audio checked. I completely missed that there was a Recoil export in the exports directory and so I didn't use that. I've attached my dxw configuration file which used the Mechwarrior 3 (high res)...

Hi! I'm working on getting Recoil (1998) to work on Win10. I'm pretty close, as I can play the game in a window, the only problem being that I can't switch off that window to other tasks. My approach was to start from the Mechwarrior 3 (high res) export found with the current release of dxwnd and then I also set the Timing frame per second to a 40 ms delay. A delay of 30 or no delay would cause a noticeable chug as the game would keep briefly slowing down over and over. The normal behavior at that...
