D2GI - D2 Graphic Improvements

Читать на русском

D2GI - is a graphical modification which adapts the game "King of the Road" (Hard Truck 2, Rig'n'Roll, Дальнобойщики 2) for modern PC. This is a Direct3D-wrapper, transferring the functionality of the legacy DirectDraw7 + Direct3D7 bundle to the Direct3D9, which works correctly on all modern Windows versions. Developed to replace existing GOG and dgVoodoo wrappers, since these are not wonderful in this game: GOG wrapper rendered graphics incorrectly, while dgVoodoo wrapper is full of freezes and crashes.

Features

• Fixes incorrect graphics output ("Rainbow" bug, bug with an object's transparency etc.)
• Fixes problems with rendering the background of translucent objects
• Fixes a bug with overwriting screenshots and allows you to select the format and path for saving them
• You can specify any resolution with any aspect ratio (4:3, 16:9 etc.)
• 3 modes: windowed, borderless, fullscreen
• 32-bit color rendering
• An option to enable Anisotropic Filtering
• Compatibility with vanilla 8.1 or King of the Road 1.3 game versions (digital releases) and probably with some old versions
• Compatibility with SEMod 1.2
• Works stable, without freezes or crashes
• High FPS on low-end hardware (even on integrated GPU like Intel HD Graphics 4000)

Requirements

• Game version 8.2, 8.1 or KotR 1.3 (only these are tested, maybe it works on another versions too)
• Windows XP or higher
