    Well as I said "DKII.exe -softwarefilter -32bitdisplay -32bittextures -enablebumpmapping -enablebumpluminance" as the commandline options and compatibility mode set to XP worked flawlessly for me in 1600x1200 on Win7 x64.

    I got it! The "Threaded Optimization" option must also be turned to "Off" to make it work!
    What's that?

    Finally, I thought it worked, but it doesn't.

    Without a compatibility mode, the game simply refuses to launch. I have to use WinXP SP3 compatiblity mode to make it run. Then, once in game, everything is black. I have no choice to turn off "Hardware acceleration" to see something. I tried the tweakings as explained above when it is set to On, and nothing seems to work, even with "Antialiasing mode" turned to Off.

    I wonder if there's a way to port the game to OpenGL instead of Direct3D...

    Whatever, I really don't want to spend much time trying to figure out how to make it running without problems. I'm just totally fed up...

    Hmm maybe you need to adjust your registry settings.

    I did. But even, what would be the things to alter?

    Sorry, but we're talking about running the game WITH hardware acceleration turned on and in the video, it is WITHOUT.

    I can play the game perfectly without hardware acceleration, there's no black areas but the game is somewhat uglier.

    Considering how through a coincidential typo, you said "fail" somewhere in there, perhaps you should check again. Besides, being "fairly sure" doesn't sound sure enough. :/
