lanux128 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 hi there, i was having graphics problem on WinXP SP3 with nVidia 8600GT. after some googling, i came across these tips here and here about disabling hardware acceleration. since they work quite well, i've wrote a small program (GrimDDFix) to do the DirectDraw toggling for me. i post this program here in case someone like me has a need for it. happy gaming... • Source: http://www.donationcoder.com/Forums/bb/index.php?topic=17831.new#new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CameronLeMans Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 So what exactly does it fix? I mainly have problems with CG effects and Cinemtaics displaying properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanux128 Posted August 30, 2009 Author Share Posted August 30, 2009 So what exactly does it fix? I mainly have problems with CG effects and Cinemtaics displaying properly. this is mainly for computers with nVidia 8xxx cards drivers where the anti-aliasing is broken and no fix is available from nVidia yet. it flips the 'hardware acceleration' to 'off' outside the game so that you can play the game in software mode without any graphics corruption. you can also check out the thread i mentioned in the source. the thread has some screenshots to show how the graphics looked on my PC, before and after using this fix.

ThunderPeel2001 Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Um. Can't you just set the game to Software Mode in the options anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longcat Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 well, yes, but with these particular gfx cards you get corrupted polygon models anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderPeel2001 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Are you sure? I use a 8800GTS and I'm pretty sure that when it's switched to software.... it uses software? :-/ Edit: Ah. The game crashes, it doesn't have corrupted polygons. But it works in software/windowed mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
