How to play Syberia on modern PCs
By Hurikejn
This is a small step-by-step guide on how to force the game to be in higher resolution and fix audio issues.
Do note, that the game has pre-rendered backgrounds. Only 3D models will be in higher resolution.

Step 1: download dgVoodoo 2
Here is a download link[dege.freeweb.hu]and download the latest version, as of making this guide it is a version 2.83
Step 2: extract dgVoodoo 2 into the game folder
After downloading the file, extract it.
It is a standard .zip file, so you do not need to use any special tool.
I have used 7-Zip [www.7-zip.org]

And put "dgVoodooCpl.exe", "dgVoodoo.conf" and the files from the \MS\x86 folder into the game folder.
Step 3: set-up the dgVoodoo 2
Open up the "dgVoodooCpl" file and go to the "DirectX" section


From there, change the following things:
  • Resolution to maximum, for me it was 1920x1080
  • Antialiasing (MSAA) to 8x
  • Filtering force to anisotropic 16x
  • Turn off the dgVoodoo watermark













Apply the settings and you're done! Open up the game and it should work as intended. If you'd have some issues regarding the launch (no 3D rendering engine or no 3D accelerator) this guide might help you https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=423176994

Step 4: audio fix
I have read on the internet, that some people have issues with audio cutting out or not being in sync properly. I didn't have this issue myself but I will show how to fix it regardless.

Open "dgVoodoo.conf" file inside the game folder, you can use normal notepad or Notepad++[notepad-plus-plus.org] like I did.

Now, under "[GeneralExt]" find "FPSLimit = 0", change the value from 0 to 60.


Now the game is locked at 60 FPS and shouldn't have an out of sync audio

Tried this on an Asus RTX 4060 laptop, at 1980x1080 = working good. Thanks.
