im having problem with Blood 2. A lots of times i saw "Client MFC Application has stopped working" error with Blood 2.
So I used google to search some solutions. dgvoodoo, batch file. changing advance options etc.
Please HELP

I couldn't get it to run right on Win10 and Gog support was no help. I had no sound and all support told me was it was not compatible with Win10. I tried explaining I had purchased it before I had Win10 (they made a note to point out Win10 was not shown as a supported operating system). They suggested a different PC they did not use Win10. Do you have access to another computer without Win10? I tried everything and even support couldn't help. It seems like some people here were able to get it working but for the life of me, no idea how.

I didn't have many problems with Blood2 on Windows 10 professional. I took the time to document the steps I went through to get it working as a reply to a Blood2 mouse look issue. See if I did anything different from what you tried to do. Later I found out that running at max res. didn't have much luck, so it would be better select a lower resolution like 1280 x 1050

Ive been trying to get this to run for a while now...no matter what I do the settings don't save. so I try the display tab and mess with those settings, attempt to start the game, it crashes. Open it again and attempt to set the "customize" tab settings, now it wont open the display tab when I click on it, start the game, crashes.

and the settings ive changed are back to the defaults when I reopen it.

sigh...I was so looking forward to this to.

Try using this: Blood 2 Resolution Patch

The game originally has a problem with resolution that have more than 1000 rows (let say 1280 x 1024 for example). This is just an updated .exe. Make a backup from the original file anyway.

'eh...was worth a shot...didnt work, but thanks anyway =]

You're welcome. This is a pretty old game and somehow less compatible than Shogo. If nothing works you should try running the game in software mode instead of using the video card's driver.

This is the problem I keep having, no matter how many times I install the game the Launcher Menu always breaks like this, can only use one tab at a time then all the other ones just freeze up, and no settings save, and anything i do causes an MFC error when I try and launch

I don't know if it was something introduced since windows 10 because i dont recall this specific issue, just the occasional MFC error in gameplay, this seems to be affecting the game before even getting to launch.

Check if your virus software is blocking anything related to blood 2.
Also try changing settings in the autoexec.cfg file and then set it to read only
And it's best to use dgvoodoo.
use the glide 3dfx settings and files from dgvoodoo.
Also try using 1280x960 as resolution first with dgvoodoo

Hope you can get running

Does changing the permissions on the executable help? (I mean running it as the administrator).

Ok i got it.
After many tries and little to none help from GOG tech support.
Before some tips on the matter i'd like to say that it is a shame that after i bought Blood 2 in GOG i could only play it almost 24 hours after the purchase.
This kind of games should and must be sold with all the necessary tool and guides to be played in modern systems.
Big thanks to the GOG gamers community because without you we wouldn't be able to apreciate this great old gems.

To the point....you'll need:

-Install the game...and then...

1. Blood 2 Res Patch

2. dgVoodoo2

3. Blood 2 Widescreen Patch

Then:

Extract the files, then follow these instructions:

- copy the Blood 2 Res Patch to the Blood 2 folder and overwrite the existing file(Client.exe)

- create in the Blood 2 folder a folder named Custom and place inside it the contents of the Blood 2 Widescreen Patch

- extract the content of the dgVoodoo 2 to a folder of your choice outside the Blood 2 folder and open the dgvoodoo2.exe.
- you'll need to tweak around and after that just copy the DDraw.dll and the D3DImm.dll from the MS folder ( inside the dgvoodoo 2 folder) to the Blood 2 folder.
-the dgvoodoo2.exe prepares these two file to match the needed specifications for the target game so if it doesn´t work keep repeating until it runs.
There's a attached file image with the tweak that worked for me.

- every time you run the lauch menu in the customization option add the Widescreen patch( top one is for the main game and the other is for Nightmare)

- also in the launch menu set the resolution.

- in game change , if needed, the setting for the display.

Yes this game needs a serious work around to be played but only if you mess around to much so go straight to the point as i'm describing above.

By the way im also running the game exe in windows xp mode so if it helps you the better.

Have a nice Bloody game.

I'm surprised that GOG would sell Blood 2 in such a bad state. My old retail installation of Blood 2 ran better (and that's after multiple Windows reinstalls and upgrades over the years).

The lack of DRM and care for their customers have been GOG's two big advantages over Steam. I hope that doesn't change.

Well to be fair, GoG's store page for Blood does state that it runs on Windows (XP, 7, and 8). They probably haven't tinkered with it to get it bullet proof on Win10-1803 (as of this writing).

Dege's freweb landing page does state that GoG has begun some kind of partnership to include dgVoodoo2, so it may just be on the docket to get the Blood 2 installer overhauled.

After messing around with Blood 2 a bit more, here's what got it working:

Install game. Run Blood 2 once without changing any settings. Exit.
Copy Client.exe (Blood 2 Resolution Patch) to game directory.
Copy Blood 2 Widescreen and other .rez files to Blood 2\Custom\
Remove Run as Administrator and Compatibility from Blood2.exe and Client.exe.
Select appropriate Widescreen .rez in Customize.
