I'm not going to go into all the gritty details other than linking some settings and explaining a few things. I actually use this program to force Stronghold Crusader and The Godfather as well, although the latter takes a little more work that I won't go into for this guide. This nifty program brute forces windowed mode on older games and is just overall pleasant to work with the interface. For this, I highly highly highly (say it with me) HIGHLY! recommend using DXWnd - Link.
The first step to getting it streamable is we need to force the game into windowed mode. Secondly, it tends to crash at random intervals later in the run, possibly due to memory or graphics overload, I'm not sure which. For starters, I've only managed to get OBS Classic to recognize a windowed mode of the game. If you thought getting this game to work on newer operating systems was bad, getting it to stream is probably worse. If you want to stream this game, read more below. If you reached this part and your game is running then you are good to go. Otherwise, you may have to look into other methods such as 3Dripper - Link If you reached this step, attempt to start your game. They have more plugins than what is needed and your game will just not work.ĥ. Be sure you do NOT copy the whole zip contents folder over. Copy the contents d3d9.dll, libwine.dll, and wined3d.dll to this directory (the same folder where the Scarface.exe is located). Locate your Scarface directory (usually it's under c:\Program Files (x86)\Radical Games\Scarface\)Ĥ. Download Wine D3D for Windows v1.6.2 - Linkģ. Make sure your Scarface is on Patch 1.00.2 before attempting these steps.Ģ. So how do we get this working? We follow the steps listed below:ġ. Essentially, they re-render Direct3D pixels through an OpenGL wrapper based on the Wine D3D that Linux uses, allowing us to play Scarface on our newer operating systems. The plugins we are using here are under the Wine D3D for Windows Link. Wine lets you use Windows applications under Linux based systems, but it just so happens that some plugins can be used to re-render Scarface on newer Windows operating systems. For those familiar with Linux systems, you may have or already use Wine. The simple fix that we're going to implement here is Wine. Whatever plugins they used to code the game they are not liked by newer operating systems.
I recommend reading the whole guide throughly to keep yourself from screwing up things.įirst off, the issue with Scarface not running on anything other than XP has to do with how it renders pixels. It is not guaranteed to work and I am not responsible for any screw ups you do to your computer.
I can only attest this working on Windows 7 but the guide I borrowed this from says it will work on Windows 8, 8.1, and 10. This is a comprehensive guide on how to get Scarface working on your PC and what my stream setup looks like.
