#14870 new defect

WIN32: ScummVM port is presently unusable with 3D games on Windows XP

Description

As there is no WinXP port for latest ScummVM, it was suggested to use instead Win95 port when available. I've just tried stable daily build and it doesn't actually work as expected.

While all 2D games I've tried work just fine, the first 3D game did not. I've tried Schizm and got no videos, stuttered sound, not responsible keyboard and mouse except in menus. Game scenes are terribly slow, looks like they are software rendered instead of GPU. Playing with different options didn't change anything. Setting SDL_VIDEODRIVER didn't help either.

Looking at debug log showed nothing suspicious: OpenGL was initialized successfully, no errors.

Is this issue new to 2.8.0, or do you have similar problems with 2.7.x / 2.6.x?

Replying to somaen:

Now that you said it, I've realized that I didn't use it on Windows XP before. As 2.7.0 doesn't support Schizm I tried Myst III. The result is the same, so it didn't work on XP versions either. Sorry to misleading you.

Oh, and to amend my previous comments: this is on Radeon HD 3450 AGP card (Catalyst driver) with 512 MB VRAM and OpenGL 3.3, Windows XP SP3 32-bit. Apart from ScummVM other 3D games work fine, including their native Windows versions for Schizm and Myst III.
