Did bought a copy from GOG. It worked also with the Steam variant.

Download Dgvoodo 2 from http://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2/dgVoodoo2/.
Copy the content from the MS/x86 folder (4 .dll files) into the main directory of DG, let them overwrite existing files. Thats all.
You can also copy the Dgvoodoocpl.exe from that Dgvoodoo archive into the main dir of DG for individuell settings.

I just updated my wrapper to work around issues I encountered on W10. Namely a failure to initialize display mode if system is not enumerating any 16bit display mode and non-moving mouse cursor in the fullscreen mode. So if you have those issues, you might try it to see if it helps in your case.

Default Help needed

Hi all,
I need help getting dangerous waters to run on my windows 10 pc without the screen stretched to widescreen, i would like to play in 4:3. How do i do that?
And second: the contact data is not showing on the map screen, only when i switch to 3d view. HOw can i solve that? I saw, there is some kind of dgvoodoo-thing as a possible workaround, but i really don't understand, what to do there.
Also, my sound ist stuttering at times, what can i do with it?

Can someone give me a step by step idiot's guide for these 3 problems please?
RA mod 1,5 patch3 is installed, if that is of interest

For those having trouble getting the game to work with the known DLL fix and the other workarounds, I have found that the D3d8.dll file in this utility works where the others do not. I tested this on the Steam release of Dangerous Waters. I have not yet tested it with the original Strategy First release or the GOG release. As with the other DLL fixes, just extract it from the archive and place it in the main game directory. This DLL did resolve the issue on the one computer I had problems with.


EDIT: Confirmed to work with the other installs of Dangerous Waters.
