hey i have a question, i have an old laptop that has onboard integrated graphics, intel GMA 950, https://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-Graphics- … 950.2177.0.html

dgvoodoo doesn't work on it, neither do other wrappers like nglide, i was wondering would it be possible to add support for it?

onboard graphics chips are slow and outdated yes, but 3d programs still can run on it, not to mention older games prior to the release of the onboard chip still run some what decent, particularly win 95 games

i figured i come here and ask the developer directly, even though it's very old it could prove useful to some people who still own old tech, not to mention expanding the compatibility of the current program

Minimum (and already very low) requirements are D3D10 class GPUs with D3D11 software backend.....

Back in the days it was me (damn! 10 years already), who requested D3D10 over initial 10.1 to get dgVoodoo2 running on a geforce 9600M.

No, unfortunately it's not possible. That chip is DX9 level, with only shader model 2.0 as maximum, very outdated.
dgVoodoo needs DX10 with shader model 4.0 as minimum, but honestly I don't know how it performs on an early DX10 GPU, probably not very well, even with those. (Altough I did a lot of shader and other optimizations since I introduced supporting FL10.0.)

Far Cry (2004): Foggy level

This is an old bug, it's resolvable with the newer 1.4 patch but that introduces a buggy AI

Would you be able to fix this issue if possible?

@Dege what do you say about this?

I already had a look into it but had no idea. I don't know how it is supposed to work... Did it ever, on whatever hardware? IIRC I had this fog bug back in 2004, on WinXP(?).

I release a little fix for 2.84:

=========================
2.84.1:
=========================

- Fixing a minor bug in the new shader code translator
- Fixing a bug in a frontend optimization (Insane 2)
- Fixing the handling pf BC5 textures in the backends (Timeshift)
- Fixing a screenmode switching problem (Planet of the Apes)

It worked on the GeForce 8 series at least to my memory. I also tested it on XP to ascertain if its an OS issue, but it still refuses to display on a Nvidia 700 series.
Thanks for trying

Install 1.4 and apply https://www.moddb.com/mods/tent-ai-bug-fix to fix AI.

Hey Dege, please check email for 30.12. (I can't PM here).

Since WIP96.1, Aritificial Academy 2 has been experiencing drawing problems. The white eyes of characters seem to be transparent.

Could you give me a screenshot? I can't see any difference between eyes with WIP96.2 and 2.83.2.

Screenshot. All the white eyes that should be there are transparent.

As a side note, in the face tab of the character maker, try selecting something other than the default seven (from the drop-down list).
This problem does not seem to occur with the default 7 faces.

I have also confirmed that the problem also occurs in 2.84.1.
