If anyone is still having problems with flickering, for me the opposite of the posted solution worked. Sorry I wasn't clear enough in my original post! "Jet5195 provided a solution: Go into graphics settings, select "Hardware rederer with T&...." as default renderer (I don't know...

This might be a stupid question, but do you have the NoCD-patch? I have the v3 edition, and I would like to upload mine, but don't know how to put files in this post/send files to someone... :( I got myself a fresh install from the MM2 cd and the game instantly crashed when I clicked "Jetzt spi...

I have measured my fps. According to fraps, it's a solid 60 fps on a 1600:900 resolution with very high graphics settings. The fps drops to 50 when I fly over SF with 500 mph though... And if I remove ddraw.dll, leaving D3DImm.dll in the MM2 folder, the game is horrible again with 5 fps (just like w...

Hmmm... very interesting point. :aprobar: :mrgreen: I will measure my fps with and without ddraw.dll as soon as I get home! I don't exactly know what you mean by crossfire though. It might be my fault, I have the German edition of MM2, so I am not sure if crossfire is something in-game or a mod or s...

Thank you for the info, I will update the post!
I never thought ALT - TAB would fix the tinted screen...

Re: change graphics settings to fix issues

Jet5195, thanks for testing your MM2 and replying what fix you applied! It's very useful! I only don't know which version of Windows you have (e.g. vista / 7 / 8 / 8.1 /10) and which issues were resolved after changing the graphics settings (e.g. textures not flickering anymore, less lag, no greenis...

Re: MM1 video patcher?

I might have found another patch, it works with my Windows 8.1 and MM1 pretty good while in "Cruise"-mode. Races still lag with the map, hud or rear view mirror on, I don't know why and I will keep searching for a better fix for this! EDIT: I have not tested this with 2 screens yet, but I ...

Textures glitching/derping in MM2

About the glitching in MM2, does: in graphics settings, setting the graphics card as default instead of dgVoodoo (or opposite) help? Does it make the gameplay better or worse? And does it make a difference if after downloading unzipping, starting the dgVoodooSetup.exe, going to the directx tab, and ...

MM2 runs FAST in Win 8.1 and 10 now

Windows 8.1/10's directdraw is broken, but I found some files that might help. https://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2/dgVoodoo2.html You have to download the dgVoodoo version you want and extract the zip file (Antivirus might say it's a virus, but it isn't!). After you extracted, you will see 2 folders a...
