its a legit site

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

Anyone willing to investigate this claim? I'm not generally one to trust random files people suggest on the internet. This sounds like it does have potential though.
