![]() ![]() I've recently dug my copy of botf out after a nostalgia kick. ![]() If you change install path you must modify path used by DxWnd. Setting for fullscreen changed, now pre-loaded settings allow usage of start button to minimize game.Īll preloaded setting will read BOTF GUI so no need to edit resolution within Dxwnd.Įrror correction mod (Normal and large versions) I am just posting a pre loaded version with some of the more popular mod (dxw files already loaded). currently there is no fix for this problem.įor those interested in DxWnd a new version has been released. Note: DxWnd will not fix turn processing/combat processing time later in the game. Vanilla and mods must be installed to play If you want any others mods added to pre-installed list just ask. No Building Upgrade mod (Normal and large versions) Ultimate Dominion mod (Normal and large versions)īalance of Power (Normal and large versions) The trek.exe in install path (vanilla or mod) should not have any compatibility settings selected in propertiesĭo not combine other fixes such as wine files, dgvoodoo2 files or MPR++ when using DxWnd To start a game just double click version with green icon When DxWnd is added by Multi installer, the DxWnd folders/files will be placed in your BOTF folder.ĭxwnd.jpg (156.79 KiB) Viewed 29415 times With the release of new Multi Installer with DxWnd, I thought I would cover some basics of DxWnd. Or you can uninstall and reinstall and select different option. Note to use DxWnd GUI or to add MPR++, the proxy files should not be present in install path If you are wanting to switch between fullscreen and windowed modĪll 3 file need to be removed from install path Before adding other proxy files (files are in tools folder "dx proxy files" folder) ![]() Winmm.dll (this is the fullscreen proxy file, different file for windowed modes)ĭxwnd.dxw (configuration file with settings, different file settings for fullscreen and windowed modes)ĭdraw.dll (this is the windowed proxy file, different file for fullscreen modes) Unbefekkinglievable.The proxy use 3 files to allow proper running of gameĭxwnd.dll (main proxy file, same file for fullscreen and windowed modes)ĭxwnd.dxw (configuration file with settings, different file for fullscreen and windowed modes) It even dares to "autocorrect" my correctly spelled "programme" and instead gives me this imbecile illiterates-lingo from across the big pond. Steam in its infinite wisdom knows more than all my security systems and all DW-players know altogether. You're old enough, otherwise you weren't allowed to be here. (although you don't need Steam to run DW, just download it, go to the Steam Apps folder, copy the complete Dangerous Waters folder, move it to another directory of your choice, and uninstall DW on Steam, it's what you can do with many Steam games, btw, but that's another story).įor whatever reason that patronising cry-baby Steam might not want to open the link in your browser because it's "dangerous" (it's what I get when I click on it). W10 is NOT the problem with this wrapper. If not, you gotta find a respective hardware solution for your machine to run DW. It worked for me in 2019 with DXWnd, not anymore now though, but it works now even without DXWnd with the 2022-version of Jiri's d3d8-dll. This would work as well, otherwise setting the game's exe-file to 16-bit colour depth (or even 8-bit for that matter) doesn't do ANYTHING, if your graphics card adapter can't handle it.īut this latest wrapper should fix this, too. You could likewise set your adapter to 16-bit colour depth in W10, if you have even such an mode available (I don't). The problem can be your graphics accelerator/adapter setting, that can't handle 16-bit colour depth (like mine, but this wrapper is supposed to fix this), or your monitor or both. If you can't, the problem is on your end, because this d3d8.dll works. If I can run DW in windowed mode without any third party programme, then you can do too. W10 Wrapper d3d8.dll version 0.03 by Jiri Dvorak You can now just tick the usually greyed out "window" in the options, pick one of the 4 preset resolutions, done, as you also don't have to change the game's res in its ini-file, like you had to do with the initial version of Jiri's wrapper. So, no DXWnd needed to run DW in windowed mode. It fixes crashes when changing resolutions ingame and now supports windowed mode even on 32-bit desktops without compatibility mode in the Steam versions. W10 users use the latest version 0.03 of. ![]()
