So I've been trying to mess with this new glide wrapper... I can't tell if I'm getting it to work or not.

1. How are you guys showing the refresh rate?

2. Is there any obvious way (Other than supposedly better graphics) to KNOW I'm running this new wrapper?

3. Whenever I hit the alt-enter, it just pulls up the dialog box to type a message to other players in the game. Alt-tab minimizes the game down and pulls up all the active windows I have open on my computer.

2.If u done everything good like in tutorial and using glide3dfx option in launcher then u are fine.

3.perhaps u need to use some option inside glide-init for enable alt+enter (i always play in window so i cant help u here :D)


AND DONT DOUBLE POST, just wait for answer or go to tech support on Discord https://chat.median-xl.com/

For fullscreen you can do it with ReShade :

1- dl and instal ReShade
2- browse to the .exe
2- select Direct X 10/11/12
3- select the fubax shaders (it's the one with the aspect ratio shader)
4- end the instal process

5- make the ingame setup :
    5.1- eventually, do the ReShade tutorial
    5.2- select "Aspect Ratio" [AspectRatio.fx] :

    5.3- then you can correct proportions to stretch image and undisplay the side black bars

How make window mode, but on fullscreen size?
I tried this settings
► Show Spoiler

and i see this

If i try set some higher scaling, 1.7 or 2 example, i have the same result.

I can play with fullscreen mode, but when I switch to a different monitor or take a screenshot, the game minimized every time. In windowed mode, the game always remains open. It is possible to run in windowed mode and press Alt + Enter each time after launch, but over time it gets annoying. Any ideas?

Hey. I try to use Reshade for Layer.fx only
► Show Spoiler

but i have error every 30-60 minutes (sometimes the crash occurred 2-3 minutes after entering the game, and the last time it crashed after 1.5+ hour of the game, random :( )

I think there is some conflict between d2dx glide and Reshade. Any idea how to fix it?

↑old wrapper, window mode & full mode wiz alt+enter

thx for elaboration, it performs very well!
the only problem is , that i guess d2dx just dont scale the screen in full window mode?
cuz before when glide3x is the only wrapper, it does well in full mode, getting rid of the black bars!

This needs to be in the original post. I dont know how you guys can play this game in 4:3. Even though the framerate is much better with this mod, I could not play it in that aspect ratio. You guys have to use the ReShade to stretch the window to 16:9 and it looks much better even though its stretched.

Unfortunately the game is more prone to crashing when alt+tabing out of full screen mode.
