Re: RRT3 1.05, 106, and Windows Vista... a Fix

I see D3DCompiler_47.dll in Windows\System32. So what do you suggest to do? Leave it alone? Or replace it with the downloaded compiler?

Re: RRT3 1.05, 106, and Windows Vista... a Fix

Okay, for clarification: I actually meant it's possible to start the game windowed AND minimized. Opening the screen does crash the game. I have meanwhile checked registry for the DLLs mentioned, but to my disappointment there war neither of them to delete. I will try the other suggested steps short...

Re: RRT3 1.05, 106, and Windows Vista... a Fix

You see, I placed all the dgVoodoo wrapper files directly in the folder containing RT3 executable in all three instances. But no matter which card do I choose to emulate, it still crashes with absolutely the same error. So something present in Windows 8.1 is either no longer there or is destroyed. I...

Re: RRT3 1.05, 106, and Windows Vista... a Fix

During my investigation I also found that integrated graphics is disabled, so I have just downloaded a corresponding driver and now it shows up as display adapter in settings. But I do not see how it could improve my chances. PS: I also moved the install out of Program Files to another folder. Zero ...

Re: RRT3 1.05, 106, and Windows Vista... a Fix

I am afraid that my efforts to start this game came at nothing. Already sick of seeing "No hardware accelerated DirectX 8.1 devices/drivers were found". I did a fresh install out of original discs on my old machine (as it has CD/DVD drive), patched it to 1.05 and applied no-cd. Started fir...

Re: RRT3 1.05, 106, and Windows Vista... a Fix

I have also tried to do this: run this game on Steam on Windows 8 on my old machine where it works, disable T&L, and copy the settings on my new machine. But neither Steam nor GOG will start even with this modified config, and I did so on fresh install in both cases. So much for my hopes...

Re: RRT3 1.05, 106, and Windows Vista... a Fix

And I tried to run using Compatibility mode with Windows 8, Vista and XP, but that failed also.

Re: RRT3 1.05, 106, and Windows Vista... a Fix

Hi, I have tried the suggested steps with the GoG version, but even after I replaced the default configs and the d8tx.dll file and also increased dgVoodoo VRAM to 1024 MB, and copied all MS files from dgVoodoo just in case, startup still fails with the same error. So I must have some sort of extreme...

Re: RRT3 1.05, 106, and Windows Vista... a Fix

Hi folks, after many years, I decided to try running RRT3 again. I already know the background of this issue (hardware T&L), but no matter what I tried, the game still won't start correctly. I tried the Vista patch by modifying the configuration, downloaded Voodoo wrapper and placed it in RT3 fo...
