triock: Conclusion, Take-Two holds the right for this game, but back then, it was only a distributor. :p
avatar
Grargar: A distributor that owned the publisher and the developer, though.
Nope, they bought Illusion Softworks in 2007.

OK, I'll give you that point, but they did buy the publisher in 2000, 2 years before Mafia was developed.

Meh, published, finished development, whatever you want to call it.

The point I've tried to make is that the rights to the game were and are still owned by Take-Two Interactive and the most likely reason it was pulled is because the game contained licensed songs and Take-Two didn't want to bother modifying it.

And the point I've tried to make is to not make this as Take-Two game originally, even though they have the rights now.

seznam88: I solved that :D I download 3D Analyzer select a .exe of Mafia set the VendorID and DeviceID by ATI Radeon 8500 and check Mafia shadow fix now it´s working without problem :)
Thank you for help anyways :)
EDIT: On that ATI Radeon 8500 the game still have little problem with flickering blood and shadows I change it now to the VendorID and DeviceID by NVIDIA Geforce FX5900 and now it´s 100% without problems blood isn´t flickering at all and shadows isn´t flickering at all as well. :)
Hello. Can you make a video what exactly did you do and how? I am crazy fan of this game and have the same problem since 2013. I am already feel desperate trying to fin a solution

FulVal: Try dgvoodoo2
Yeah, that would be my suggestion.
Copy DGVoodoo files to M1 folder and inject it.
Just give it up. Once you think you have fixed it, they suddenly start flickering again.
I have been playing this game since 2002, and trying to solve the issue every time I reinstall the game.

They had likely forgotten they had made this post until you brought it up ☺️

Damnit. 2014. "Take me home, 2014!...".
