On windows 7 you probably don't need the FPS fix. If you have already modified your game, it is advised to make a copy of your game directory - just in case something gets overwritten or removed. The Important note below was fixed in the version, you can now select the target directory yourself, no more installing it too deep, or not working if you had an alternative directory name, just select the folder you want it to go.
If you use the cd version the above goes too, but then the right directory usually is 'Program files x86 '. In any case take care you don't get that double ' Some pictures of the installer v1. All the options are for Usually it's best to first try everything with the default selection of fixes, this is the most common setting that works for most systems. In case it doesn't perform as expected, you can uninstall the fix and then reinstall it with a different selection of options.
To use this option you will need a dedicated GPU preferably with 2gb or more of graphics memory and a modified executable that will allow the game to use up to 4gb of system memory. Of Course these executables are included, you just have to select the proper one for the game you own.
Default is textures selected, steam executable selected, if you want the textures on the cd version of the game, be sure to select the right file for that. If you don't want the textures, just untick the box. Be aware the enhanced textures can lead to longer loading times. Don't be alarmed if you are met by a loading-screen taking longer than expected, just give it a minute and it will load. Option 2 will apply the startup fix, this fix is for fast machines, if the machine was much faster than expected in game release year it would sometimes not initialize right and not start at all.
Added bonus is that by using the fix it's also possible to use a directX wrapper, this will convert all aged directX 8 calls to a newer version and obey the windows vsync settings. Windows10 completely ignores vsync settings for directx8, this would result in the game running too fast and some of the game's events would trigger wrong or not at all. The wrappers will take care of that by limiting fps to whatever was set in your graphics card control panel, usually 60fps.
The dx8to11 wrapper can be useful in the scenario where you need to be able to select the graphicscard you want the game to use, or need other options. It comes with a control panel that can be found in your game directory, see the special chapter below.
Option 3 will let you pick 1 of the 2 possible soundfixes. The first and default selected one converts the game's sound calls while playing without modifying the actual sound files, the second one does modify the soundfiles before you play to a format that plays right without the need of a wrapper. My advice, try the 1st option, if that doesn't work for you maybe the second one will.
Some machines don't seem to like the 1st one, in that case just switch. Option 4, when the game was released screens were the normal screen used, nowadays everyone is using wider screens, this fix will allow the game to scale for that, without stretching max to a fat blob.
Option 5, in a small problem surfaced on AMD Ryzen3 cpu's the makers of the game could never have anticipated back in , a check for certain cpu capability returned a number that was too high and could not be interpreted as a valid result, some code failed and then followed a lot of errors ending in a crash. By circumventing this check the game now will work again on those new cpu's.
Older cpu's don't seem to mind this check is missing now, so it's selected by default. Maybe you need to deselect it if you're trying to run on hardware, but on anything less than 10 years old it should be fine. The following support files are included to prevent some errors that users experienced sometimes when running the game directx8 required error and msvcrt If already available it will be skipped automatically.
Added DirectX and VCredist support files. The installer will set the following settings to medium automatically, so don't be alarmed if you set them to high before. They should be at medium setting when using the Highres Textures, otherwise the game might run out of memory at some point. It was found that with a dedicated GPU and more than 2gb of graphics memory, you can usually set the sliders to maximum, but if you do run out of memory just remember to set them back to medium and try again.
You can use the "dgVoodooCpl. Sometimes it's needed to select the actual card there instead of the default option. Per page: 15 30 Date Posted: 16 Sep, am. Posts: 7. Discussions Rules and Guidelines.
