Aside from d3d8to9, you have to use DXVK alongside it to be recognized by the GPU for recording DirectX 8 games:
https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk

Just copy the d3d9.dll from the DXVK's x86 folder and drop it inside Battlefield 1942 main directory where the .exe is located.

I have the d3d9.DLL file in my main folder, but it still doesn’t work. Is there an additional file I need, like that d3d8tod9?

Yes.

The only caveat of d3d8to9's d3d8.dll + d3d9.dll from DXVK combo is the switching (i.e. Alt + Tab) to desktop was kinda wonky (for now) in BF1942.

If you get stuck in the main desktop, just clicking the BF1942 in the taskbar to resume gameplay.

ICYMI, BattleGroup42 had ceased development (according to their FB page) after 20 years of activity and released it's FINAL version which originally planned in H2 of 2022. But for unknown reasons, it was not uploaded on their website which is very unfortunate as site itself went offline since January.

SkullKid, contacted BG42 devs and obtain the files while being told that the website is still sorting out to went back online.

As you may know, Apple had already ditched the support of 32-bit software after Mojave. So the only option is either dual boot with Windows OS through Boot Camp, or install Wine on Mac.

#facepalm

Does Shadowplay even work for 1942? It’s not in the list of supported games.

While it is no longer supported due to ShadowPlay's API requirement of DirectX 9 as minimum (Bf1942 used Direct3D 8.1 btw), there's a workaround in order to use Nvidia's recording software like using d3d8to9 to translate Direct3D 8-era games to DX9, or in my case I also used DXVK (which translates DirectX 9/10/10.1/11 to Vulkan API) alongside it since I won't be able to use RivaTuner Statistics Software while only using d3d8to9.

Here's my recording sample:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9G1438K-PJw

P. S.
The only downside of using both d3d8to9 + DXVK on Battlefield 1942 as of this writing is somewhat buggy Alt + Tab, there's no problem of it while only using the former so keep that in mind.

What specific laptop are you using, and what's the mobile GPU on it?

If you're using a laptop with Intel Arc as mobile GPU, then expect a lot of graphical bugs and glitches on it since this is the first time that Intel had release a discrete GPUs to compete against AMD and Nvidia.

And by the way, Battlefield 1942 is Direct3D 8.1, so anything below DirectX 9 games were out of priority for Intel unfortunately. sad

Try to update the graphics driver first, and if the bugs still occurs let us know.

#19 Re: Technical Help » Any Steelseries or Razer mice players here? » 2022-06-19 06:19:28

The only important on any mouse right now is how durable and how long the mouse switches, either mechanical or optical, will last under extreme conditions.

I have bought a then-brand new Cooler Master MM170 last year, and after 1 ½ months of usage the "double-click" behavior occurs despite pressing only one click on the left mouse button.

I haven't tried mice with optical switches from Razer, but I'm looking forward to get one soon.

RFS Moskva (121); ex-Slava (126) is a Slava-class Guided missile cruiser which struck by two Ukrainian R-360 Neptune anti-ship cruise missiles on 14 April, then capsized and sunk the following day (15 April). Out of more than 500 officers and crew, less than 50 survived.

It it also ironic that RMS Titanic of White Star Line also foundered the same day during it's maiden voyage 110 years ago!

Unfortunately, there's nothing you and the server owners can do about latency spikes. That is still, and always will be, the main hurdle of online gameplay when the client PC join on a server at very far distance from the former's location.
