I remember DirectDraw crashing on me when I tried to run it full screen (but windowed mode worked). Had to use Glide in order to run it full screen.

Have you tried tinkering around with the glide-init? I had to tweak settings a lot to optimize the performance. First I started out with all the extensions unchecked to prevent crashes (if glide tries to start up with an unsupported extension it could crash). Then under Renderer section I also reduced the texture-mapping option to 256x256 (this particular setting has probably highest FPS cripple potential depending on what its set at).

how does glide-init works? i have some graphic prombelms in a thin line at the top and the bottom as you can see in the picture. it's changing continously while i'm moving. can glide solve the problem?

I have that same graphic bug in windowed mode for glide. It suddenly disapears in full screen mode for some reason for me.

--Double Post--
Also one further note concerning the extensions. Once you got it working with no checks then try checking them one at a time and testing with the test option. Not all supported extensions boost FPS (2 out of the 5 supported actually drop my FPS). The top menu open has a query option which will detect which glide extensions you can support (so I suggest you run that before starting to check extensions).

i have this bug in full screen (and in window too, checked). the query opengl infos didn't find any unsupported extensions. i ran the test with all, one active at a time, i got 256 fps twice and 70 with the rest. if 1 of 256s active it will stay 256. i tried a lot of options, also modified things in the renderer menu and stettings, but nothing changed. or the game should be running during this? i don't understand at all how it works. what have you modified?

Since my laptop is ancient I actually have a lot of options disabled. No clue what's causing that in full screen mode too.
