Most graphical settings, including AF and MSAA, do not work if Depth of Field and Back Buffer are enabled. However disabling back buffer does have side effect where main menu starts flickering, though is still usable.[3][4][5]

Increase Rendering Resolution

Wrap the game with dgVoodoo 2[6]
  1. Download the latest stable of dgVoodoo 2 from the official website or Github.
  2. Extract the contents of dgVoodoo2_*.zip to its own folder in a convenient location on your computer (e.g. Documents), then run dgVoodooCpl.exe.
  3. In the General tab, configure the following settings:
    • Adapter(s) to use/enable: <your video card>
    • Scaling mode: Stretched, keep Aspect Ratio
  4. Now go to the DirectX tab and configure the following settings:
    • Videocard: dgVoodoo 3D Accelerated Card
    • Filtering: Leave it at App driven
    • Resolution: Set to Max to play beyond 1080p depending on your setup
    • Behavior: Uncheck Disable Alt+Enter to toggle screen state
    • Antialiasing (MSAA): App driven if you wish to use the game's own anti-aliasing or Off
    • Miscellaneous: Uncheck dgVoodoo Watermark
  5. Click Apply dgVoodoo 2 should save the configuration file to where you have dgVoodoo 2 installed in that location, then copy the dgVoodoo.conf to <path-to-game>. Alternatively, click the Add button and point the program to where you have the game installed to save it there.
  6. Go into the MS/x86 folder from your dgVoodoo 2 installation folder, then copy the D3D9.dll file to <path-to-game>.
