Run in compat mode for Windows XP SP 2?


Yes.

Interestingly enough I've managed to make the game run smoother without glide. I can get a steady 60 fps using Direct 3D. Only downside is that it's extremely dark and I can't adjust the gamma/contract settings.

I wonder why it runs horribly on glide...

what do all you other active processes look like?
it seriously shouldnt be a problem but your cpu doesnt have dedicated memory for graphics, and while it still shouldnt be that big of an issue. maybe its lack of dm + lack of driver support and core utilization.
kind of like how it already runs like shit on win10 because of the new core types and the sophisticated shit, but add a cpu that doesnt like games anyways.

svens nglide like rikuo said.

i think theres another wrapper or some sort of program made by some1 called zues or something i forgot what it was exactly. but i used it awhile ago. it helped on top of nglide.



maybe try this:

sometimes the display is dimmed.
The wrapper had no chance to set the gamma-ramp.
solutions I have found so far:
- reset gamma or contrast in the game
- try to find out, if a background-application sometimes tries to access the display and disable it.
- reinstall the display drivers
- take a look, if the display drivers support some kind of brightness-control
- if supportet by the opengl-driver: activate shader-gamma in the front-end

Direct 3D is definitely going to be your best bet. As for your brightness, no idea. It's doing it to me as well. Only way to get it to go away for me is to lower the in game resolution. For some reason the 640 resolution displays correctly...justs looks not so great lol

Maybe this is a wake up call to stop playing a game from 2001 in 2017. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
