Widescreen resolution

The game can use either Direct3D or Glide. The Direct3D renderer provides more options and is the one necessary to use the patch for higher resolutions and widescreen support.
Custom resolution and widescreen/extended FOV support patch[citation needed]
Before applying the patch, make a backup of the Turok.exe and Video_D3D.dll files in case the modifications go wrong.
  1. For Vista and later: make sure you have Turok installed in a folder that can be modified by regular programs (e.g. C:\Games\Turok)
  2. Download turokfix.exe (PCGamingWiki mirror) and run it.
  3. Replace 800 and 600 in the fields with the resolution you want to use (note that for a high resolution, such as 2560x1440, you may need to use dgVoodoo 2.
  4. Press the "Patch Video_D3D.dll to apply custom resolution" button
  5. Using the dialog box that will appear, locate the Video_D3D.dll file in your Turok installation
  6. In the game's launcher, use the Video menu to select Perfomance Settings and check the 800x600 checkbox (note that if the checkbox is not available and window doesn't mention Direct3D the game probably loaded another renderer - remove the DLL files mentioned in the last step below)
  7. For widescreen support: Press the "Patch Turok.exe to apply widescreen fix" button and locate Turok.exe like above (you can also use this fix to increase the overall game FOV with a 4:3 aspect ratio but it will make in-game models a bit narrower)
  8. If you have nGlide or other GPU emulators installed: make sure you remove the Video_3DFx.dll, Video_PowerVR.dll and Video_RagePro.dll files from your Turok installation, otherwise the game might try to use another renderer instead of the Direct3D one.

Black window and crashing with dgVoodoo2

Modify the Turok.exe file

  2. Open it with a hex editor program, e.g. HxD.
  3. Find *.dll* and replace it with *vide*.
  4. Save the file.

Excessive head bobbing

Head bobbing animation speed is tied to the frame rate.
Limit the frame rate

If you've increased the frame rate with the -maxframerate argument, remove it; or set another value, e.g. -maxframerate 30.
