Issues fixed
Low FPS on modern versions of Windows
- DirectDraw emulation is broken in Windows 8 and later
Use a DirectDraw wrapper[1]
|
- Download the DirectDrawCompat wrapper
- Extract the contents from the
.zip file into the game's installation folder <path-to-game>
Notes
- Alternatively, a normal DirectX wrapper can be used for the same effect.
|
3D Acceleration not supported error on modern versions of Windows
- Fixes 3D acceleration and improves performance.
- Bejeweled 2 Deluxe is required.
Install the Bejeweled 2 Deluxe patch[2]
|
- Download the Bejeweled 2 Deluxe patch here
- Open the
.zip file and open the bejeweled-2-deluxe folder.
- Extract the relevant folder of the edition (Steam, PopCap) of the game to <path-to-game>.
- Copy the
Bejeweled2-nosig+vmem+vcard.exe and compat.cfg to <path-to-game>.
- Rename the
.exe file to Bejeweled2.exe .
- Run the game and enable 3D acceleration. Change the resolution as desired.
Notes
- If 3D acceleration still refuses to be enabled, run the included
Test3D-clean.reg file.
- The original .exe for Bejeweled 2 Deluxe is included as a backup if something breaks.

Alternative workaround for low FPS
There are three ways of fixing the problem:
- Use the DirectDraw/DirectX wrapper method mentioned above previously.
- Disable hardware acceleration if fullscreen is on.
- Play the game in a window. Hardware acceleration works fine while the game is windowed.
