It's good to hear that my fix for LB2 was successful for you, Lager!
Hi Flyboy,
I also need to thank you for your work on LB2. I was able to play it again, but unfortunately on Windows 10 I constantly get crashes which make the game barely playable.
Tested on:
- Desktop PC, i7 8700K 32 GB RAM, RTX 2070 super, Windows 10 build 1909
- Surface Book 2, i7 8650U,16 GB RAM, GTX 1060, Windows 10 build 1909
- Surface 3, Intel Atom Z8700, 2 GB RAM, Intel HD Graphics, Windows 10 build 1809
- Using DgVoodoo 1.5 and 1.52 beta
- Tryed also nGlide, much smoother even in full HD or more, but game is way less stable
On the first two machines the game is barely playable due to the super slow control response that makes the helicopter turning extremely slow. Controls response is probably based on CPU speed/clycles, so the faster the CPU the slower response is.
For this reason on the Surface 3, which is probably even slower than a Pentium 3, game works well, but I always experience crashes (sounds often freezes and goes in loop) after 10-15 minutes. I noticed that it's more stable setting a lower resolution and running it with compatibility set to Win98, but in this case it sometimes crashes when mission is over. Setting compatibility to XP i never got crashes on mission exit, but it freezes very often while playing.
I am not able to use your SDB fix on none of my computers, it's probably fine on Vista/Win7, but it does not work at all on Windows 10, especially on latest builds.
Thanks in advance if you have some other tips, I am quite sure these are nowadays common issues to anyone running the game on Windows 10. Unfortunately i cannot revert or dual boot windows XP or 7 at the moment.
