Hi there.
The dxvk version is also applicable for Windows users so please note it.
Also attach dxvk logs and apitrace if able

Edit: according to PCGamingWiki this is using d3d8. Are you sure it is d3d9?

[Sagatt]

I've used dxvk 2.4, the last release, and sorry I'm not sure it's d3d9, I just figured.

Found it tested previously by @WinterSnowfall and it should be d3d8 so you have to use both the d3d8 and d3d9 dlls

They are files included in the 2.4 release I assume you downloaded from here

I'm talking about WinterSnowfalls thread of the game, I couldn't find it, hence why I created this one, once I get home iil try to boot up using d3d8

We had a d8vk bug open for the game some time ago: AlpyneDreams#149. We've since addressed the issue and the game is now known to work fine.

Does it also work fine for IGI 1?

IGI 1 seems to be DX7, so if you have some DDRAW wrapper that converts D3D7 to DXVK's D3D9 or D3D11 then it might.

I don't know any, unfortunately

Dis you get this working by using both the d3d8 and d3d9 dlls?

I couldn't test it yesterday sorry, I spent my day training. I will test in the next ten hours for sure.

Just tested it, it works.
