Mods not working remastered or classic

that’s why I suggested the dll override, as it was a known issue with HW2 in the past, when CnlPepper developped the shaders for the B5 mod

Edit : I think I understand what you’re talking about… Perhaps the dll from the 14.4 drivers version is still not old enough for CnlPepper’s shader :confused:

I did do the dll and put it where you suggested, let me try to get out of steam then go back in and try it again

nope no luck, I had heard that when they updated remastered to 2.0 it broke all the mods

That’s only for the Remastered mods. The patch doesn’t touch classic.

Then I guess i’m just out of luck for BSG

I think you are confused.
The 2.0 patch “broked” all the mods mainly because the hod files format was changed from pre-2.0 version of the game. But it only concerns HW Remastered, NOT the Classic versions.

Nothing changed in HW2 Classic since the beginning.
The dll thing is for the Classic HW2 only, which was not updated in the 2.0 patch. I suggested you try the dll override for the HW2Classic+BSG mod, nothing else :wink:

ok I have to admit i’m confused now, when your talking about the dll overide are you talking about putting the atioglxx.dll where you suggested or something else?

yes, I’m talking about that, but it’s only for HW2 Classic, not HW Remastered, so here :
…\steamapps\common\Homeworld\Homeworld2Classic\Bin\Release
but not here :
…\steamapps\common\Homeworld\HomeworldRm\Bin\Release

Edit : but still, perhaps the dll from the 14.4 drivers version are not old enough for CnlPepper’s shaders… I’m still searching

the one i just tried is Doom3BFGFix but did not work

did you try with -nopbuffer too ?

did try it with that as well, cursor spun shorter, heard music that you hear when you see the gearbox logo, which did not show btw, stayed on black screen for a bit then knocked me back to steam, so something is happening it seems in the right direction.

-nopbuffer is ONLY for HW2C - and fixes a specific ATI driver crash when attempting to use a now-unsupported buffer creation/type in GL.

The ‘hacked’ drivers are a bad idea - ATI’s newer drivers are better, in general.

here is the log after this last try maybe something changed?

I’m sorry, my fault entirely ! I just tested HW2 Classic with newer drivers… and it works !
It wasn’t the case when the remastered collection came out and I didn’t know this problem had been corrected since.
I always (wrongly) assumed that the patchs only concerned the remastered version, and not the classics !

I apologize and hide myself under a rock :sweat:

no changes here. I suppose there is no other solution than waiting for the remastered version of the BSG mod unfortunately :confused:

I really appreciate everyones help, thanks for trying

one last thing wasn’t there also a thing about also putting in the commandline your screen W&H?

-w 1650 -h 1080 for example

edit :
all your dreams and beyond here ^^

oh well no joy again, thanks again

Seriously ?

I used that a lot in the past ! I’m surprised !

and if you add -window too ?
