Need Help Game crashing when leaving Oxbay the first time

[Confused Oldie]

I recently remembered this game and dug out the CDs for it. Had some troubles with it running wild, which was fixed with dgVoodoo as suggested in another thread. Now, when leaving Oxbay after the tutorial, "Sea" tries to load after the video is done playing, but the game immediately seems to freeze and shortly after CTDs. I couldn't find any other posts about the game crashing upon leaving port, other that random crashes later on. This seems to be constant when loading the world map.

Any help, guesses and wild ideas are welcome.

And this is why we don't troubleshoot and write forum posts right before going to bed...

I tried removing the DirectX files from dgVoodoo to see if it was a game issue or a dgV issue and... everything works. I don't mean just going to the world map, the forced Vsync also held effect. I believe I tested this last night as well and couldn't even load my game as the load menu was unresponsive from high FPS. Today I thought of testing it with a new game and skipping the tutorial (duh!) but apparently I can't test that now.

I might've just missed that the DirectX files included in dgV isn't actually needed, and good if so. Otherwise, this feels like an unstable solution and I'll probably be back. Anyway, I don't dare touch anything now as it works, I'll just play and see when the next issue crops up.

Also, since I forgot in the original post, I'm running Win10 on an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 and an AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT.
