Here is THE_FIX!
Thank you dgVoodoo!! http://dege.freeweb.hu/ don't worry about the dangerous warning its a legit site - http://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2/dgVoodoo2.html then - http://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2/dgVoodoo2_64.zip zip password is "shitgoogle" look in the zip (notice directx 8 and directx 9) and extract the following files to your to your EQ base directory - dgVoodoo2_64\MS\x86\D3D8.dll - dgVoodoo2_64\MS\x86\D3D9.dll - dgVoodoo2_64\MS\x86\D3Dlmm.dll - dgVoodoo2_64\MS\x86\DDraw.dll This fix will prevent those crashes where it says: "ResetDeviceFailed()" [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] You can even lock (CTRL+ALT+DEL) your computer and un-lock with zero crashes!! I would say don't use WinEQ with dgVoodoo because you will get crashes at the login screen sometimes ...unless you play on blue and green simultaneously and simply need WinEQ [You must be logged in to view images.

Further what exactly are these dlls doing? The above quoted user suggests that this prevents the ResetDeviceFailed() error (to my understanding this occurs when you use alt-enter to change window mode), but the original poster of the fix suggests the opposite, that changing resolutions will cause your game to crash. Does this simply allow a laptop to use a different gpu or is this a more universal fix? | |||

to all your questions no no no no
its not part of the 3rd paryt software section as it doesnt interact with the game it doesnt fix the reset device alt+enter or alt+tabbing isnt being fixed by this this doesnt help a laptop use a different gpu if you goto the website you can read that the dgvoodoo drivers are a wrapper for direct x 8/9 api calls to your gpu to display anything on your screen in a modern and more gpu friendly direct x 11/12 api calls eq is direct x 8 your nvidia geforce 900s are built around direct x 12 based amd gpus back to the r5/r7/r9 200s are direct x 12 based | ||
