(Added a note about non working state in Windows 10. I recently bought the first three and this is what my Win1064bit install gives me. Ref: http://www.tenforums.com/gaming/13138-harry-potter-sorcerers-stone-wont-lounch-windows-10-64-bit.html) |

| + | {{ii}} DgVoodoo2 requires a DX11 GPU | ||
| + | {{ii}} If you change resolution from the game settings, dgVoodoo2 switches to windowed mode, and you have to press ALT+Enter to get back to fullscreen. To avoid this, just force the resolution you want from dgVoodooSetup.exe. Keep in mind that the game does not like very high resolutions (>1080p) or widescreen. | ||
