I installed the retail version, applied patch 2.1 .I managed to start it but the menu is full of glitches. Also, setting the resolution at 1920x1080 make impossible to select the singleplayer mode in the menu because is cut off.
Have these problems been solved ?

Thanks

Don't bother if you're using Windows 10, it starts with an errormessage saying:

*************** EXCEPTION CAUGHT ! ********************
ExceptionMessage = Error occured while Direct3D objects initialization.

Pl:
:ease set video configuration properly.

InitD3D -> lpDD.SetDisplayMode

Un:
:recognized error value.
DDRVAl = Unrecognized error value.

Using compatibilitymodes and even dgVoodoo 2 doesn't seem to work.

In Windows 7 it works fine but for the glitches of the main menu I had to use the dgvodoo2 wrapper files.
I wonder what is the resolution of the game, It's an high one but I can't see which one.
The problem with the 1920x1080 (impossible to select singleplayer in the main menu) still persists.

1.Скачать программу dgVoodoo2 по ссылке http://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2/dgVoodoo2.html
2.Распаковать dgVoodoo2_63_1 в папку с игрой файлы dgVoodoo.conf,dgVoodooCpl.exe
3.Для запуска dgVoodoo2_63_1 нужно в самой игре удалить либо переименовать файл winmm.dll.
4.Распаковать из архива dgVoodoo2_63_1 в папку с игрой файлы D3D8.dll,D3D9.dll,D3DImm.dll,DDraw.dll которые находяться в папке MS x86
5.Запустить dgVoodooCpl и во вкладке DirectX произвести настройку по своему усмотрению
6.Для того чтобы игра работала корректно на Windows 10 x64 выставить файл venom.exe совместимость с Windows XP, если этого не сделать то стрелка курсора не будет опускаться до конца вниз
что не даст нажимать нижние кнопки меню, а также не будет работать отображение винтовки в меню амуниция.
7.Приятной игры.

1. To download the dgVoodoo2 program at the link http://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2/dgVoodoo2.html
2 .Unzip dgVoodoo2 _ 63 _ 1 to the game folder dgVoodoo .conf, dgVoodooCpl .exe files
3 .To run dgVoodoo2 _ 63 _ 1, you must delete or re-name the winmm.dll file in the game itself.
4 .Unzip files from the dgVoodoo2 _ 63 _ 1 archive to the game folder D3D8.dll,D3D9.dll,D3DImm.dll,DDraw.dll which are located in the MS x86 folder
5.Install the dgVoodooCpl and configure it in the DirectX tab.
6. To make the game work correctly on Windows 10 x64, file venom.exe make it compatible with Windows XP, if you do not do so, the cursor arrow will not drop to the bottom
Which will prevent the lower menu buttons from being pressed, nor will the display of the rifle in the amunication menu work.
7. Run game.

I can't play at all, even with dgVoodoo I still get "not enought memory for 1 texture each" error.

It's, probably, too late but I still post here. Just in case if someone comes with the same question in the future.

Current GOG's version of the game IS pre-patched with both official patch 2.1 and unofficial fix for the modern hardware.
If you install an official patch 2.1 over it again, the patch overwrites vrender.dll and Config.exe effectively "uninstalling" the compatibility fix. Thus you get an error "not enought memory for 1 texture each".

The simplest solution is to uninstall the game completely, install it again and DO NOT try fix a product which works almost flawlessly already.

That's (really) good to know, but I (discovered and) finished it recently, using the dgVoodoo wrapper - as (without it) weird graphical glitches showed up already in the main menu -, and it still felt very unpolished : lots of textures in game were often replaced, glitchy or missing. I managed to finish it (and found it moderately fun), but found GOG's work to be lacking in quality there. Now, indeed, I didn't seriously try it unmodded (and didn't even launch the external configuration panel), which may explain my problems.
To anyone who reads this in the future, hopefully before starting to play it, it's important to launch the custom configuration panel outside of the game. You can reach it either in the main folder or from your start menu's "Venom : Code Outbreak". Fire it and select your graphic card, etc. It may indeed fix many glitches you would have faced otherwise...

Thanks for sharing, Schwertz. Spassiba ^^ !

Google for official patch for Venom: Code Outbreak v2.1 and install it.
Then google for Venom_Codename_Outbreak_EN_Fix_Sold_Out_Software.rar (exactly this filename), download it and put files from that archive into the game's directory.

I followed these steps but I'm still getting the "Error occured while Direct3D objects initialization." message right after the intro plays or is skipped. Any extra steps I need to follow?

Please note this is a very old game that uses an old unsupported version of directX, hence the wrapper and keeping it to 1024 resolution is the best bet to get this old game to work, just don't expect it to look great (its over 20 years old!)
