Issues fixed

Crash at launch on Windows 10

Use DDrawCompat[4]
  1. Download DDrawCompat
  2. Extract ddraw.dll into <path-to-game>.

Notes

May exhibit artifacting when pressing Alt+Tab ↹
Wrapper has no configuration options, but does not produce main-menu cursor trailing/flickering/ghosting as other fixes might
If used with a AMD 5700XT, CAS shader appears to work. Anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering can also be enabled via driver.
Use dgVoodoo 2[5]
Windows 10's built-in compatibility fixes prevent dgVoodoo from working properly with this game. Rename RogueSpear.exe to something else, e.g. RogueSpear-renamed.exe.
Use alternate Windows 10 Fix[citation needed]

Notes

This fix only allows the game to run at the resolution of 640x480
Use DXGL[citation needed]
  1. Download and install DXGL.
  2. Add the game's executable to the application list.
  3. Make sure the "support all color depths" box is ticked in the DXGL Config program.
Use WineD3D[citation needed]
  1. Download WineD3D for Windows (works with both version 1.7.52 and 1.9.19).
  2. Extract ddraw.dll, libwine.dll and wined3d.dll into <path-to-game>.
  3. Go to <path-to-game>, and rename the ddraw.dll file to ddfuk.dll.
  4. Open RogueSpear.exe with a hex editor such as HxD.
  5. Click on "Search > Replace" or press Ctrl+R
  6. Search for ddraw.dll and replace with ddfuk.dll and click Replace All.
  7. Save the changes by clicking "File > Save" or by pressing Ctrl+S

Notes

This fix allows the game to run in many screen resolutions, including 1920x1080.
Tested on RogueSpear Gaming Ladder custom installer. Only works if the hex editing step is done.
Tested with ATI Radeon 4350[citation needed] - no version of the Wine wrapper works with Black Ops regardless of font fix and edited executable. Worked on Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 Ti and Intel HD Graphics 620.
Use DxWnd[citation needed]

Notes

DxWnd is a full featured wrapper. Issue with cursor drawing trails in Black Ops menus, otherwise perfectly playable.
DxWnd did not require the ATI font fix during testing.

Music does not loop

Fix CD audio not looping on Windows Vista and newer operating systems[citation needed]
  1. Rip the game CD-ROM's music to MP3 format and place it in a folder on the computer.
  2. Download patched _inmm.dll, and install it.
  3. Patch RogueSpear.exe in <path-to-game> by dragging it onto _inmmconf.exe>
  4. Open _inmmconf.exe and set DirectShow player for default file type in the method tab, as well as the MP3 type.
  5. In the _inmm.ini tab, add the 14 audio files you have ripped. Make sure the order is correct, and then save it in <path-to-game>.

Can't create a DirectSound Device

Disable UseSoundDeviceGuid[citation needed]
  1. Run the Registry Editor.
  2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Red Storm Entertainment\Rogue Spear.
  3. Change the value of UseSoundDeviceGuid to FALSE.
  4. Run the game as administrator.

Crash on start up in windowed mode

Run the game in 16-bit color mode[citation needed]
