Nice find. I think correcting the file in miss16 folder is the proper approach.

Potential way to increase max number of simultaneously playing sounds in both games - hex edit I76PLYR.DEF/NITPLYR.DEF. I76PLYR.DEF - audio settings start at offset 0x50, number of audio channels is at 0x53, so change that byte to something higher, eg. 0x20 (decimal - 32). NITPLYR.DEF - they start a...

DxWnd's virtual CD audio feature should work if you want to play music off the hard drive. GOG version uses some bad wrapper which relies on some ugly hacks in the I76.EXE for it to work. And it doesn't work as it was intended by developers - the same track loops all over. I added some fixes to the...

I recommended nGlide because it works with minimal fuss without glitches from my own personal experience. I haven't been able to get glitch-free experience with dgVoodoo2, though I haven't tried 3072 KB setting specifically yet. I don't remember any glitches with dgVoodoo 1.50 Beta2 with the followi...

Yeah, you need to be familiar with basic file manipulation operations and such to install my patches. Plus, they're specifically developed for my own personal usage, I just happen to share the final result. If they can help themselves with that, cool, otherwise...

Whenever I get back to it, both games leak GDI handles. If you manage to accumulate crapload of them, computer's graphics performance degrades and possibly other oddities appear.

It's caused by the heap corruption bug. Newer Windows versions enable Windows 9x heap emulation for Interstate '76, but not Nitro Pack, which sometimes works better for hiding the bug. Windows 9x heap emulation is also activated by Windows 9x compatibility modes and I think DxWnd has that option too...

If I remember correctly Windows 10 removed DirectSound, which no doubt broke many older games. That's not true. DirectSound is implemented on top of WASAPI since Vista. Nothing changed in that regard on Windows 10. The biggest change in Vista was that the support for hardware acceleration was dropp...

I don't think he was talking about the thing that the "audio fix-ish" tackles, which is the problem with all sounds playing at the player camera position that appeared in either patch I or patch II for Nitro Pack (haven't checked since which one), but another bug that appeared in I76 Gold ...

I meant to say that the original installer itself happens to run on 32-bit Windows 10. I didn't recommend anything to anyone. At least manual installation is not too tricky.

This sounds very promising. Would be great if we could package it and the game into some sort of installer, especially one that works in Windows 10. Original should run on 32-bit Windows 10. :mrgreen: The used InstallShield installer is apparently so old that you can't just use 32-bit version (for ...

Did you fix muti-player in original I'76? Nothing was added beyond Shane's patched WINET.DLL. Direct IP connections work as far as I can tell (you can connect to someone's game if you know that someone's IP address and the person has UDP port 21157 opened/forwarded), registration with master server...

Runs pretty stable here without messing with ZGLIDE.DLL (little over 4h playing single-player missions before it crashed in nGlide's glide2x.dll). When you say ZGLIDE.DLL update, do you mean that thing with replacing Nitro's ZGLIDE.DLL with I76's one? That's the only ZGLIDE.DLL related thing I found...

Heya! Thought I'd stop by and share the new patch I made for Interstate '76 and its expansion pack. I made a thread about it on VOGONS as well and it's waiting for approval on PCGW . Here comes the copy-paste of the description I wrote on VOGONS, some things are already known by some of you: Had thi...
