Issues fixed
Crash at launch on Windows 10
Use DDrawCompat[4]
|
- Download DDrawCompat
- 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 DXGL[citation needed]
|
- Download and install DXGL.
- Add the game's executable to the application list.
- Make sure the "support all color depths" box is ticked in the DXGL Config program.
|
Use WineD3D[citation needed]
|
- Download WineD3D for Windows (works with both version 1.7.52 and 1.9.19).
- Extract
ddraw.dll , libwine.dll and wined3d.dll into <path-to-game> .
- Go to
<path-to-game> , and rename the ddraw.dll file to ddfuk.dll .
- Open
RogueSpear.exe with a hex editor such as HxD.
- Click on "Search > Replace" or press Ctrl+R
- Search for
ddraw.dll and replace with ddfuk.dll and click Replace All.
- 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]
|
- Rip the game CD-ROM's music to MP3 format and place it in a folder on the computer.
- Download patched _inmm.dll, and install it.
- Patch
RogueSpear.exe in <path-to-game> by dragging it onto _inmmconf.exe >
- Open
_inmmconf.exe and set DirectShow player for default file type in the method tab, as well as the MP3 type.
- 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]
|
- Run the Registry Editor.
- Navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Red Storm Entertainment\Rogue Spear .
- Change the value of
UseSoundDeviceGuid to FALSE .
- Run the game as administrator.
