Forcing FL to run in DirectX 7, possible or not? - Swallow - 09-21-2014

I have tried M&B Warband in Dx7 and was very amused to see ~30 FPS on my Intel Atom+GMA set. I am curious if it is possible to force FL or even Windows globally to render through Dx7 instead of 9?

I found a "3D analyzer" software with lots of options...
Wirelancer, for example: [Image: th_screen5-1.png]

No success...

Freelancer is a Directx8 game, no chance. If you use Dx9 it emulates a Dx8 environment.

No chance for Dx7 sorry.
