Issues fixed
Unable to enable Hardware Acceleration on modern versions of Windows
- Fixes hardware acceleration, improves performance and graphical effects.
Install the Bejeweled 2 Deluxe patch[4] |
---|
Notes
|
Alternative workaround for low FPS
There are three ways of fixing the problem:
- Use the 3D acceleration patch mentioned above previously.
- Disable hardware acceleration if fullscreen is on.
- Play the game in a window. Hardware acceleration works fine while the game is windowed.
BASS_ChannelPlay function not found in bass.dll
This is a DLL version conflict. Bejeweled 2 is looking for bass.dll in c:\windows\system32
or c:\windows\syswow64
, and it's a version different than what it expects.[5]
- Backup and remove the DLL file from the window folder.
- Note that downloading the latest version from the Un4Seen website will not help.
