White/missing textures while running dgVoodoo 2 on AMD cards
This is caused by dgvoodoo's newer ddraw.dll, which might not be compatible with older or certain AMD cards. Downgrade to 2.54 and copy over the .dll files as usual, and enable "fast memory access" in the DirectX settings. The textures will render as normal.
