Lop Huckawuckie Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 I'm been running the 1999 version of Lego Racers on Windows 10. I just upgraded to a new custom-built PC, and now I can only run in RGB software emulation mode. I've tried using the -select3d command line flag, but hardware based Direct3D is not an option for me anymore. Consequently, I get annoying black boxes behind the transparent textures. -I've got a GTX 1060 (3 GB) card with the most up to date NVidia drivers. -I've downloaded the DirectX 9 redistributable and installed it. -I've tried the -alphatrans command line flag (but like I said, the issue is that I can only do software emulation). Any suggestions on how to get hardware acceleration working on this new computer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Cupcake Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Hmm, strange. It's a long shot but does changing OS in compatibility mode do anything? How about running the game 16-bit colour windowed mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lop Huckawuckie Posted December 4, 2016 Author Share Posted December 4, 2016 Tried a few compatibility modes, 16-bit color option, and -window flag but it didn't work either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Cupcake Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Ouch. Well I'm not really sure what else I can suggest, sorry. Hopefully someone else has some ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firedude34 Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Try installing directx 6.1. That might help you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lop Huckawuckie Posted December 4, 2016 Author Share Posted December 4, 2016 I just fixed it! Here's what I think fixed it for me, although your mileage may vary etc.: I download and ran this control panel applet for DirectX 9: http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/microsoft_directx_control_panel.html Then I unchecked and rechecked the Hardware Acceleration boxes under Direct3D and DirectDraw, then hit Apply. (I also tried running the DirectX 6 setup, which didn't let me do anything, but it did have a box for Hardware Acceleration which was already checked so...) Hope that helps someone!
