main fix

so i have a i7 intel with a nvidia 2070-q and a 144hz screen, two additional monitors, and windows 10 so if everything else youve read untill now has not worked, try this

https://github.com/elishacloud/dxwrapper/releases

once you are taking to the github page, scroll down to the assets part of the page and DL the DXwrapper.zip file (not the debug or the source codes zips/tar.gz) save to desktop or where you wish that it is accessible to. Copy from dxwrapper folder to the game directory these files, d3d8.dll, dinput8.dll, dxwrapper.asi, dxwrapper.dll and dxwrapper.ini. Then edit the ini and set Dinputto8 from 0 to 1, save changes to the ini file. drop these in the SR2 root file. if you dont know where it is, in your library right click SR2 go to manage and click browse local files. Run The Game After This

if youre game is crashing on the opening cinematic, remove d3d8.dll, dinput8.dll and try then

heres a Soul Reaver discord if all else fails. They Are Quite Active, Direct You Questions IN The SR2 Channel

Finally!!! I´ve been in a constant struggle with this game to make it run, and thanks to your post and the files, the game runs and it´s fully playable.

I wish everyone with the same issues take a closer look to this.

soooo tried this works all fine but i get strange noises coming from my gpu (could be coilwhining) but only after using this fix and only when playing sr2 so use this with caution ...

Hmm. It worked with just d3d8 in the directory, but the game froze up during a cutscene. All the other guides, nothing. So frustrating.
