Re: Links 2003 will not run

Thanks for that info :thumbup:

Does anyone know which version of DirectX Links 2003 uses and, are there older versions of ReShade downloadable which supports that ?

Thanks again :smile:

Re: Links 2003 will not run

I'm glad my info is some use :smile:

I'll ditch some of the "sky" files I think.

My next dilemma is whether to try and use ReShade to further improve things. I need to understand a little more about how that works with Links 2003 before I commit though !

Re: Links 2003 will not run

I've just checked and I have 148 files in the "sky" folder so that may well be the cause. Not a big issue though - as you say, a re-start takes just a few seconds.Glad to be playing Links 2003 again though :smile:

Re: Links 2003 will not run

I recently acquired a Lenovo Touchbook with a Ryzen 5500U processor and AMD Radeon graphics and Windows 10 Pro. I was expecting Links 2003 to be very challenging or impossible to get running but it installed and, with the usual upgrades, works really well with graphics resolution up to 1920 x 1080. ...

Re: Occasional blue water

I would be happy to post a screen shot. Could you remind me of the key sequence in Links 2003 to capture a screen please ?

Thanks :smile:

Re: Occasional blue water

Thanks but my graphics settings for Links are on the max detail. Often water shows fine but sometimes I am getting a featurless (no reflections etc) sky blue fill. It's my fault for playing with the graphics settings I guess but the jagged edges of distant bunkers etc have been improved so I am tryi...

Occasional blue water

I have been playing around with settings of my graphics card and with the Voodoo 2 settings. Overall I see less "jaggies" now but in return I finding that water sometimes displays as plain sky blue colour rather than the normal reflections. This is intermittent but annoying, particularly w...

Re: How to get rid of the 'Links green sky"

Thanks Dan. I have an NVIDIA Quadro K1100M card fitted as well as the standard Intel HD 4600 graphics but I can't seem to get the NVIDIA card to be active :mad:

Re: How to get rid of the 'Links green sky"

I run Links 2003 on a laptop with the same graphics card and the same processor under Windows 10 Pro. I have found that running the game in the dgVoodoo graphics "wrapper" sorts out practically all of the graphics issues with the game, including allowing the use of all the skies available ...
