Soul Reaver 2 is a single-player action-adventure game. The player controls Raziel, a ghostly 'ex- vampire ', from a third-person perspective. Gameplay, which is based on the original Soul Reaver, prompts the player to shift between two planes of existence—the material and spectral realms—to progress. Soul Reaver is a third-person combat adventure filled with devious puzzles and kick-ass combat. Fly, swim, jump, and even travel from the material world to the spectral realm to overcome obstacles and conquer your enemies. With over 40 abilities to choose from, no two fights will ever be the same.
Heeeello! Nidrax here!Today I have a small tutorial / informational video for you.Well, though my Let's play series of Soul Reaver 2 is still not uploaded,I can tell you that the first 3 episodes I had to record on Windows 7, because the game does not seem to work on Windows 10 properly.Let me show you.So, we run the game..We got the intro credits, and so on.I have imported my savegames from Win 7, whatever, you probably don't care about this stuff.We got the game loadedand at first glance everything might seem to be okay,but there is one small and another much bigger problem with the game.First one is that when we press attack, our character is sent flying 2-3 meters forward,which is not supposed to happen and it makes hitting your opponent hard as hell.And the second, much worse error is this.Switching to spectral realm does not happen completely.The overworld does not change and we are unable to walk (and the portals to go back do not appear).So theoretically this is the spectral realm, but it's broken af.And I couln't find solution for this (DGVoodoo and DXWnd did not work for me), so I decided to record on Windows 7 which was pain in the ***.My i7 6880K & GTX 1070 does not seem to work at full of their potential on Windows 7 and OBS seems to lag the game while recording because of that, so I had to use Fraps, whatever, it doesn't matter anymore.But, today while I was looking for some graphical improvements for old games I went to Reshade's website.

And on http://reshade.me we have a link in the navigation bar that says 'd3d8to9'.It is basically a wrapper for DirectX 9 to interpret DirectX 8 instruction set.As the errors are caused by faulty DX8 support on Winodws 10, downloading this d3d8.dll and pasting it into the game folderwill fix all the problems I couldn't solve with other software which didn't do anything or broke the game even more.Soul Reaver 2 Windows 10 Edition
So it's a very simple solution I found by accident, as I haven't visited ReShade for a long time.So, as you may see, the games works now flawlessly.No flying forward on attack like a moron.And switching to specral realm is fixed too.So this is it. You can close the vid now, as I'm just talking about how happy I am to not have to deal with Windows 7 and Fraps anymore, as if anyone cares about it. See ya!First post, by Mike

So, here is what's going on basically. I have the GOG release of the game, and even with that release, I have been having to troubleshoot it significantly. I used DgVoodoo2 3D wrapper from Dege v2.54 (released: 25.04.2017) to enable the character to devour souls, and stop any graphical glitches, but one problem remains; the crashing. I was thinking of giving up and getting the PS2 version instead, but the problem is I am more than halfway through the game, and want to be able to finish it. When I set it in Win 95 compatibility mode, it worked surprisingly for hours, but when it crashed, the character itself was moving less than a frame per second, and not even Ctrl+Alt+Delete brought up the task manager, so I had to hold the power down to shut down my entire machine, and do a cold restart. I am wondering if there are any other solutions to be considered?
