GOG Unreal Gold (Glide vs D3D 226)

Post by vorob »

I’ve got a very weird question about GOG’s work. If we compare Direct3D render from 226 with Glide, which one is better? I know that original D3D was a crap, but 226 one is better than glide or not? Cause for some reason, GOG team added nglide into their unreal gold release, and I can’t understand why?

It's not crap.
It works well with d3d wrappers like dgVoodoo2.

The main problem is the gamma management (totally different from Glide's one).

I love Glide, I prefer the overall looks of it over vanilla d3d, even in the later releases (before 227/OMP).

I particularly don't like d3d so much as the graphics are washed out into dull colors due to the weird multitexture/blending implementation. This is especially noticeable in the way the game renders the skies, just compare the sky in Dark Arena in glide and d3d...

Via PCem (https://pcem-emulator.co.uk/) emulator which recreates real hardware I was able to play in unreal 1.0 like it was back then on voodoo 2:
