Hello everybody . First time posting here but I've been a regular guest for a very long time . I'm addicted to DK2 and this is the best forum for the game series . I searched for a while but the information became very confusing and conflicting . I was wondering if someone can steer me in the right direction with this question please .
I pulled out a very old laptop running XP and an nvidia dedicated card . I put the stock DK2 CD and it ran and installed flawlessly . Then after that the game started and ran perfect as well . Something I couldn't even do on my modern PC . I have the GOG version as well but I don't wish to run version 1.7 and my understanding is that the GOG version disables or modifies hardware acceleration somehow . That's something I don't want either .
Here's the question . What do I need to adjust on the vanilla game to obtain the best graphical settings ?
- Things like softwarefilter or 32biteverything or the like ?
- How about changing the config.ini for things like antialiasing or anything else ? I should note though that I can't find that file in the installation directory even though a lot of people mention the file here on the forums .
- Any settings in the registry ? I do know how to increase the resolution even though it messes up the ingame menu but that's fine with me .
- Anything else you can suggest ?
I have all the patches but for now I left the game unpatched (version 1.3 I think) unless someone tells me otherwise . Again I tried searching but most topics address the opposite of what I'm trying to do . They help you decrease graphics for compatibility however I don't have any compatibility issues so I would like to get the most out of the game as it was meant to be originally . Things like full hardware acceleration and bumpmapping . Also if it matters , under the direct3d option in the main menu , my laptop says "primary display driver" . If more information is needed please don't hesitate to ask . I really hope someone can help me out and thank you in advance !
