dgVoodoo not working

[Mechwarrior]

Been trying to get the game to work with multiplayer. Gameranger doesn't accept launch options so I can't use that. I have all the required files in the install folder and have DS2VideoConfig set to run with dgvoodoo but when I start the game there's no watermark so the wrapper isn't being used.

You can put your launch options in the config file, they'll work just the same: https://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Dungeon_Siege_II#Configuration_file.28s.29_location

May I ask why do you need dgVoodoo2?

[Mechwarrior]

Configuration file doesn't work. The game removes anything I added there, and if I set it to read only it just ignores anything in it. I need dgvoodoo because the game just instantly crashes as soon as it tries to load into the game. I can mess around in the menus fine but not in game. Setting it to windowed mode fixes this but I can't use windowed mode with gameranger.

I believe the problem lies elsewhere, what adapters do you see in DS2VideoConfig and what's the content of your config file? If you have BW installed, which config file did you modify?

[Mechwarrior]

Video config shows two dgVoodoo Directx Wrapper - Hardware TnL and 4 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 - Hardware TnL. There are no non-tnl options there. I modified both config files and neither work.

Did you install Killah's fix or are you using retail BW? When I modify my BW config file, the changes are visible in the game, there's no reason why it shouldn't work for you. Check the link I posted above.

I'm using Killah's fix from this guide https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1165078098

I've also tried this one without success https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=780053070

And yes I've tried modifying the config files. It uses the broken worlds config file since anything that I add to it gets removed. If I change the video adapter with ds2videoconfig it only changes the base game's config file, which doesn't seem to get used at all. Changing "driver_description = NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 - Primary" to "driver_description = dgVoodoo DirectX Wrapper - Hardware TnL" doesn't work and it just gets changed back to the nvndia driver.

I've got exacly the same behavior here and dgVoodoo doesn't kick in at it gets replaced in the config file too.

So you said if you put for instance "fullscreen = false" in the config file it doesn't make the game windowed?

Here's my config file:

driver_description = NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 - Primary
cpu_warning = false
attempts = 51
regrequest_sp = true
sp_last_saved_party = test
width = 1920
height = 1080
bpp = 32
dialog_speed = 60
nointro = true
maxfps = 62
fullscreen = true
sp_active_party = test
x = 0
y = 31
mp_active_party = test

Yes I've tried putting fullscreen = false into the config files. Anything I add to the broken worlds config file gets removed and anything in the base game's config file gets ignored.
