Earth 2150 (All Games) - HD, 60FPS, Interface and Reshade Patch (Updated 2024 April)

Getting tired of the slow and unresponsive interface? Tired of low quality visuals? Wanna see something different with Reshade?

Low and behold:

Dgvoodoo2 is used to add antialiasing without the need of tinkering with driver settings.
60FPS fixes add much better control and weather effects look MUCH nicer.
Reshade is used to add sharpening, color debanding and ambientlight with optional retro shaders.

NEW
-Fixed guide missing pictures
-Added some more tips and a new EarthExtensions for TMP and LS
-Updated dgvoodoo2
-Added Silent Strike campaign as a goodie

Added a new set of Interfaces with bugfixes thanks to Holybrake, these include:
- All the texts in the construction center are visible now when playing at a 16:10 resolution
- Fixed missing video subtitles for UCS solid interface
- And the corrected animation speeds

HOW TO INSTALL

1. Run "Setup.exe" in your main game folder.
(As a shortcut, right-click on game on Steam Library > Manage > Browse local files)

2. Select "display Direct3D HAL".

3. Choose 1920x1080x32. Disable "Play intro" if you want (causes crashes sometimes).

4. Download THIS[drive.google.com] Password: 1234

5. Extract all folders and files in the first link to your game installation folder. Use 7zip or WinRAR to open.

6. (TMP AND LS ONLY) DRAG or COPY "scripts" and "modules" folders inside "Mixsets and Earth Extensions (for The Moon Project and Lost Souls)" to main TMP/LS game folders. Delete your older EarthTMPExtension if you have one.

7. Make sure "dgVoodooCpl.exe" and "dsound.dll" don't get deleted or moved by your ANTIVIRUS or WINDOWS DEFENDER. Add exclusions manually, they're false positives and the patch NEEDS them to work properly.

8. If a smartscreen popup appears when executing the game, press "More information" and then execute anyways.

9. Once ingame, select any faction to play as, go to the options menu and select the new 16:10 interface with 60fps support. Remember to enable terrain shadows in video tab.

10. (In case framerate is still locked) While playing, press enter and type:

graphrate 60

11. Enjoy!

TROUBLESHOOTING

Always compare your game to the latest screenshots here so this works correctly.

If the DGVOODOO WATERMARK appears, you might have done something wrong. Recheck your ANTIVIRUS or WINDOWS DEFENDER and restore the affected dgvoodoocpl.exe files (absolutely necessary for the patch). If TMP still crashes, also add "dsound.dll" to exclusions.

If this still doesn't work for you, then run dgvoodoocpl.exe and leave the settings like this:


If the games crash at the start, look up how to enable Data Execution Prevention (DEP) on WINDOWS files and services only. The fastest way is "Windows key + Pause key" > Advanced system settings > Under "Performance" click settings > Data Execution Prevention tab > click "Turn on DEP for all Windows files and services only" > Restart.

If the game STILL crashes at start, run the executable in WinXP SP3 Compatibility Mode. (Right click on .exe > Properties > Compatibilty > Tick "Run this program in compability mode for:" and select Windows XP (Service Pack 3).

If the executable files don't open, end them in Task Manager and open them again.

If EftBP or LS don't launch, delete or remove "scripts" folder if it's present.

If you want to disable Reshade, delete or rename "dxgi.dll" or "opengl32.dll".

If the framerate's tanking, just open the dgvoodoo panel and lower the MSAA amount to 2x or None.

If the game is too fast, press the * key to reset default speed.

If Lost Souls cutscenes don't work properly, delete K-lite Codecs Pack if you have it installed.

If the cutscenes don't work. Install K-Lite Codec Pack Basic. Download here[codecguide.com]

If LS cutscenes don't work correctly, uninstall K-Lite Codec Pack.

Remember to disable Windows mouse acceleration. (also called "Enhance Pointer Precision"). Fastest way is Windows key > Search "mouse" > Mouse properties > Additional mouse options > Pointer options > Untick "Enhance Pointer Precision".

AND set global Vsync options to OFF in your graphics panel. Otherwise it causes problems with your mouse.

Comment below if any other problems appear.

SCREENSHOTS

BONUS

Added Silent Strike campaign as an optional addon. Translated to english by yours truly.

----> Press END to switch to Retro mode while playing <----

[Cloacky]

Is silent strike included by the game by default? If no, then does the version from this download include polish language? :)

[ME!ME!ME!]

When I select the unit construction/design it crashed the game. Any fix?

[Volva* {Garbage Loot God}]

Players having issues with cutscenes playing in Moon Project and Lost Souls need to do a few more steps after installing the K-Lite Codec pack for them to actually work.

A user in this thread outlined the steps to take. - https://steamcommunity.com/app/259300/discussions/0/523898291510061665/#c4355625227123746287

Think this version blocks the easy alt-tabbing but you still can with ctrl+alt+delete and opening task manager.

[RaviRax]

Thank You! Works perfect

game speed is related to fps. When I have 240 fps the game was ultra fast. At 120 fps it was very fast - even at the lowest maximum speed (using the keys on the keyboard -)
I forced 30 frames in the Nvidia driver and the game works perfectly in 1920x1080 :)

[Andix]

We have to force 30fps in ex. Nvdia cotrol panel. Today i spend 5 hours.... and this help me

[Comrade_Expert]

Thanks for the solution. How do I alt+tab or minimize the game in another way without exiting it completely?

[CW2 P. Larkins]

Thank you for the guide, very helpful!
