VAMPIRE REDEMPTION
Hi there. I have two problems: the mouse cursor disappears and I can't zoom out the screen.
I've already tried the solution suggested online, but I can't resolve anything.
I've Windows 10.

What solution did you try? Sorry, but your post is a bit vague about what you actually tried to do to fix it. We can't offer any suggestions if you can't give us details to work with. That said... Are you using the widescreen-fix mod? Or dgVoodoo 2? Additionally, it would help to know what your resolution screen is because you might have to do some tweaking.

It's vague because I don't know. My screen is 1920x1080 and I don't know how to use mods.
I tried to modify the resolution on the file ".ini" but it didn't change anything.

ohh man been awhile but you go into nvidia control panel and change some settings. perhaps trying to force it full screen or somesuch. also download a program called voodoo look into it. its a program used for a few older games.
also try rightclicking the exe and properties then disable fullscreen optimization perhaps also. then if all else fails try running it as admin

Click on the Windows key on your keyboard to open up the Start menu, and scroll down until you locate the NVIDIA Control Panel. (Note: this only works if A) your graphics card (GPU) is a GeForce or other NVIDIA GPU,[www.nvidia.com] and/or B) have the NVIDIA Control Panel installed to keep your GPU drivers up to date.) If you don't know how find out what graphics card you have, refer to: https://www.pcmag.com/how-to/what-graphics-card-do-i-have to learn how.

You must understand that "Vampire the Masquerade - Redemption" is well over 20 years old. To be able to play very old games that use outdated versions of DirectX, DirectDraw and Glide, dgVoodoo and dgVoodoo2 are mods that allow modern versions of Windows and computer hardware to run them. It takes some work sometimes and there are guides all over the internet that show you step-by-step how to get them up and running.

Here are a few resources that might be able to help you get started:
* dgVoodoo2 on GitHub - https://github.com/dege-diosg/dgVoodoo2
* PC Gaming Wiki with links to available resources - https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Vampire:_The_Masquerade_-_Redemption
* An awesome video tutorial on YouTube that guides you to making VtMR look better on widescreen computer monitors and more... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTzMabNVjJY
* A Steam guide showing how to use dgVoodoo - https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1893575568

Please note that some of these links in the Steam guide and YouTube video may no longer work. Search through the Discussions in this game's Steam threads to locate backup links (such as the dgVoodoo2 link on GitHub).

It's all good. I already figured as much. That said, let us check your settings to make sure it was done correctly. Ok?

1. Right click on the game in your Steam Library, then go to Manage and select Browse local files.
See image if you're having trouble finding it quickly:

2. After Windows Explorer opens up the game's file location, look for a file called masquerade.ini.

3. Right click on the masquerade.ini file and select Edit

4. Scroll down until you find [render].

5. Keep scrolling in the [render] section and look for the following lines:
screenWidth=1920 screenHeight=1080
(It should not be too far above the [renderCustom] section.)

Please note that the numerical values may show something else. The above code is for the 1080p resolution for your monitor, so you will need to change the values to match. If you are missing the lines for screenWidth and screenHeight, copy and paste the code somewhere below the [render] and above the [renderCustom] sections.

6. Close and save the file.

7. Run the game.


Good luck and let me know how it goes!

So first off, I'm glad this still exists.
Second, the widescreen mod on nexus says it doesn't work all that well with the Neural Redemption up-resd texture mod because NR requires the game to run in 16bit color mode. Any fix or workaround for that?

Thanks for looking and any help.
