+ | {{Introduction | ||
+ | |introduction = '''''Requiem: Avenging Angel''''' is a first-person shooter set in an alternate future where the player has to use a combination of guns and angelic powers to defeat the forces of hell. It was the first videogame to ever feature a ''bullet time'' mechanic which allows the use of slow-motion to dodge bullets and outplay enemies.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/first-video-game-to-feature-bullet-time|title=guinnessworldrecords.com|date=May 2023}}</ref> The majority of the game takes place in a futuristic version of earth covered by megacities, while locations also include the chaos realm (a version of purgatory) and spaceships. The game features both a singleplayer campaign and multiplayer. | ||
+ | |current state = The retail version requires exactly DirectX 6.1 to run and won't run on newer versions. Patch 1.3 removes this limitation and adds compatibility for up to DirectX 8, but the game still has issues with running on modern systems. The GOG.com and Steam versions have been modified to work on modern OSes.<br><br>Some players experience bugs when using Direct3D as rendering method as opposed to 3dfx, like certain doors not opening. | ||

+ | {{ii}} Occurs when running the game with [[Glossary:Windowed#D3DWindower|D3DWindower]]. No problem on GOG and Steam versions. | ||

D3DWindower will break immediately when mouse pointer is brought up by the game and the window will most likely lose the focus when a click is performed. This occurs when mouse pointer is positioned at the left part of the screen. This makes certain angelic powers unselectable through mouse pointer. | ||

Requiem: Avenging Angel is a first-person shooter set in an alternate future where the player has to use a combination of guns and angelic powers to defeat the forces of hell. It was the first videogame to ever feature a bullet time mechanic which allows the use of slow-motion to dodge bullets and outplay enemies.[4] The majority of the game takes place in a futuristic version of earth covered by megacities, while locations also include the chaos realm (a version of purgatory) and spaceships. The game features both a singleplayer campaign and multiplayer.
The retail version requires exactly DirectX 6.1 to run and won't run on newer versions. Patch 1.3 removes this limitation and adds compatibility for up to DirectX 8, but the game still has issues with running on modern systems. The GOG.com and Steam versions have been modified to work on modern OSes.
Some players experience bugs when using Direct3D as rendering method as opposed to 3dfx, like certain doors not opening.

Running the disc version on modern systems
- These steps are not necessary for the Steam and GOG versions, which already run out of the box.
Use dgVoodoo 2[11] |

|
Impossible to select leftmost angelic powers with the mouse pointer
- Occurs when running the game with D3DWindower. No problem on GOG and Steam versions.
- The game allows to bring up a menu where angelic powers can be selected with the mouse pointer. D3DWindower will break immediately when mouse pointer is brought up by the game and the window will most likely lose the focus when a click is performed. This occurs when mouse pointer is positioned at the left part of the screen. This makes certain angelic powers unselectable through mouse pointer.
Reduce Windows screen resolution to fit the resolution of D3DWindower box |
---|
Simply use in-game key bindings to scroll through powers instead (unfortunately this isn't as efficient as selecting them by mouse) |
---|
Mouse movement inconsistent
Use dinputto8[12] |
