Ultimate Fix Blood 2

[Pro cnr]

I finally get the game working well I tried on different specs and it worked every times (W7 W8.1 and W10 Tested)
I tried the "How to run Blood 2 on modern PCs" Guide but didn't work or very bad (Low FPS/random crash)

1 - Completely Remove and Redownload the game (you can keep your Custom folder il you have the Widescreen Fix)

2 - Download the Patched Client to allow high res (more than 1000 lines)
http://dege.fw.hu/temp/Blood2ResPatch.zip

3 - Tweek (or create) autoexec.cfg and add :
"screenwidth" "1920" //change to your resolution
"screenheight" "1080" //change to your resolution

4 - Create a new text file and rename it .bat and inside put this :
@echo off
cd "location to blood 2"
(if you use another drive for steam like me add your drive here)
start /affinity 1 client.exe -rez BLOOD2.REZ -rez SOUND.REZ -rez Custom/WidescreenPatch.REZ exit

(Example for me)
@echo off
cd "D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Blood II\"
d:
start /affinity 1 client.exe -rez BLOOD2.REZ -rez SOUND.REZ -rez Custom/WidescreenPatch.REZ exit

(Instead of starting the launcher we start the client with the needed files, if you want to start the Nightmare expansion just replace BLOOD2.REZ by BLOOD2NM.REZ and Custom/WidescreenPatch.REZ by Custom/WidescreenPatchNM.REZ)

Now the game will start but in full screen and for me there's stutter in full screen, if you have no problem you can leave here.

5 - Download wndmode and extract it to the Blood 2 folder
https://bitbucket.org/veg/tinyddraw/downloads/wndmode.zip

6 - Change if you want to remove the border (and have Full screen Windowed) the last line in wndmode.ini
from Border=1 to Border=0

Now it's done, if someone want to make a guide go ahead

I just did this and it worked on Win10. (copied from http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=42292)

"Now, after months of trying. I have gotten Blood 2 to run at a solid 60 FPS on Windows 8.1!
First, download the latest version of dgVoodoo 2. (http://dege.freeweb.hu) the latest version is currently dgVoodoo v2.41
Unzip the file to any location. Run dgVoodooSetup.exe
Go over to DirectX and turn off the watermark.
Click apply and click Ok to close the program.
Go to the dgVoodoo directory and go to the MS folder
Drag the D3DImm.dll and the DDraw.dll to your Blood 2 folder.
Launch Blood 2.
The game should run at the correct FPS now. Make sure to use no resolution with a height over 1000 pixels to avoid crashing! You can also force 8x MSAA if you wish.

UPDATE: Dege has released a patch to play the game at higher resolutions, check it out. http://dege.fw.hu/temp/Blood2ResPatch.zip"

Thanks Mr. White. I also tried the widescreen patch and everything works well together.

If this was Gog i presume the game would have been patched ready to run on modern systems.
Steam seem to like leaving it to the end user.

Nope. I bought the gog version of the game and had really terrible performance issues as well. Luckily the fix in the comments work for it!
