Fairly stock Mtm2 at 640 x 480 mode, set to direct3d. With dgvoodoo 2.54 set to upscale to 1080 for direct3d. I never did get 3dfx version to work or the community patch version.

Other than my mouse showing up. That's minor. It's working great now.

Looks so good in HD

Ok Got it.

First, had to dump community patch
Then, had to use dgvoodoo 254, the directX one. The 3dfx didn't work.
With that combo and no compatibility set, it started working, full screen, with no flickering menu.
Finally!

Yeah I still get message saying unable to switch to full screen mode. Using 1024 x 768 3dfx with latest dgvoodoo and the 2.54 version. Neither worked

Did you try running in compatibility mode for Windows XP Service Pack 2? That usually fixes full screen errors for me. Then I can go back to turning compatibility off again once full screen works once.

I keep my game on an external drive and every time I use a different PC I have to go through ...

Is there a trick to getting it to launch?

I just get this error

The procedure entry point CreateDXGIFactory2 could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\d3d11.dll

NVM got it, just needed freshened up version of dgvoodoo. Seems impossible to get full ...

I have both but can't part with them. MTM1 was my first PC game ever. I even printed out the truck spec sheets from the help files and stapled them to my wall.

Did deadly tide ever actually release? I remember the demo video on the windows 95 CD but never actually found the game.

Never seen this thread before.

First, PlayStation controllers use directinput so they'll just work. Don't use the x360 wrapper.
X360 controllers should just work, no need for wrappers.
If your controller is really weird, add mtm2 as a non steam game and use steam to manage it instead.

It would be a complete engine re-write to convert to dx11. Everything would have to be started from scratch. It's not really possible.
I can't even find it, but it would be fun to change the gravity constant in the game.

I thought the game needed 8bit mono wave files?

Yes that is the reason. The game engine does not work well with 256x256 files. It's a limitation of the graphics engine from that time and there is simply no way around it. The only way to fix this is by upgrading the game to use DirectX9/OpenGL (at a minimum) on it's own (not through a wrapper ...

Dug out the Windows 95 CD. Played some Hover, and remembered all the videos on the disc including this

I remember seeing this the first time as a 10 year old. Youtube actually makes the video blurrier than the original

It's been a really really long time, but I do miss rumbling. And a bit of racing. If you guys remember Electric Bug. He fixed up my old controller I used to use all those years ago. I've taken it for the odd spin in MTM2 but haven't had anyone to play with.

I have them all carefully packed up in the basement of my condo.

Not much luck. Had to install 2017 build tools, which community allows you do add old build tools. But can't build. Need to fiddle more to actually have something to ask for help with

Considering how bad the code is... not great :D

Also I had no idea what I was doing when I started this either so the changes I made are very noob like. lol

What email are you using? I have it uploaded on gitlab.
My gitlab profile is https://gitlab.com/trevord2 if that helps.

Finally added you ...

Mtm1 Arizona track has some crushable cars

Not sure, when I tried it on 7 it worked, after a lot of fiddling.
I think you need dgvoodoo, or run in software mode.
Both MTM1 and MTM2 have issues above 30fps.

I remember years ago you described how AI truck behavior wasnt properly designed for powerful CPUs. the faster the computer/gpu, the ...
