Copy from Mcoy from another post:
Read the html when you extract the zip. Basically, you copy the DLLs to your EQ folder and that's it. All I did was extract it to my EQ folder and edit the conf file so it doesn't include the watermark. So 1: Copy the DLL files to EQ folder 2: Start the game 3: if u dont get dgvoodo watermark at end of screen i think u need to ADD your EQ folder in the program. I can not remember if i did this | ||

Okay, I haven't had a crash since installing dgVoodoo and running in compatibility mode for windows xp service pack 2 with admin privileges.
The program does look legit and seems to help patch old games to run in newer computers for windows by providing certain graphics DLLs. I downloaded the zip from here (current version is v2.72): http://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2/dgVoodoo2/ Then unzip that, and follow the instructions in the in QuickGuide.html. I ended up moving all 7 .DLL files into my project 1999 game folder and haven't had a crash after camping since. from the extracted 3Dfx\x86 folder: Glide.dll Glide2x.dll Glide3x.dll from the extracted MS\x86 folder: DDraw.dll D3DImm.dll D3D8.dll D3D9.dll Then in the project 1999 game folder, right click eqgame.exe, go to the compatibility tab, and make sure you have windows xp (service pack 2) and "Run this program as administrator" checked. | ||

Interesting, I had both watermark checkboxes unticked when I did the above .dll copies but the watermark was there for the first while. It has since disappeared.
Thanks again for the answers, this has been huge for me! | ||

I think it was Savok who told me about it - he deserves all the credit.

It happens often, but because it's 1 guy and the author has to report each new version it takes time to get each one whitelisted with every AV vendor. You don't even have to use the exe if you don't want - just manually edit the conf file to change the options. -Mcoy | ||

Does this not work with wineq2? When I attempt to launch, I get the message "Please remove the file D:\\Sony\EverQuest\D3D9.dll"
