Hey guys, I followed the guide many times over and tried many combinations of dgvoodoo's stuff, compatibility settings, etc. but I just can't get it to work right.

I've installed the game like stated in step 1; installed the January 2020 mod pack; installed dgvoodoo's stuff and adjusted my settings to play on 1920x1080 (made sure that the settings were being applied by enabling the watermark). But running EngRel.exe just doesn't ever run in widescreen nor in the proper resolution. It always runs in 640x480.

There are basically two options for me atm:

1. I use dege's DARKOMEN.exe, which starts up fine, is widescreen, but lacks mods + zoom, etc.
2. I use EngRel.exe (your modded one) which starts up fine, but is locked at 640x480, thus no widescreen, and no mods.

It seems I can't get BOTH mods AND the graphics enhancements to work.

What's wrong? Am I not using a UK version of the game? How can I check? I've long since lost my original CD and admit to using an ISO, so there's that. Can somebody please help?

Hi and welcome,

not sure what "I use dege's DARKOMEN.exe" is?

Hi and thank you!

If you look here: http://dege.freeweb.hu/Patches/patches/

You'll find that Dege has made a 'patch' which he describes as thus:

Quote
Use this patch together with dgVoodoo to eliminate mouse issues and enable the hardware renderer for forced resolutions:


I had thought you guys used that patch to improve on your own work, but perhaps I was mistaken. Using the patched .exe here: http://dege.freeweb.hu/Patches/bin/Warhammer_DarkOmen_Patch.zip

the game runs the regular, unmodded version, in what seems like the right graphical settings (I can see the watermark). Not so when I use EngRel.exe from the modpack version.

Thanks for clarifying and yes our mod pack EngRel.exe contains his fixes. Did you check your messages.
