⚠ Remember you need AMD/NVidia GPUs with TnL support, Shader 2.0 and >128MB VRAM, so this old game may not work at all on Intel iGPUs.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀💣 UPDATE (Feb 2023) 💣
Unfortunately this game became very unstable with modern systems: it may crash (MXR.dll fault) after multiple Restart Mission, or suddenly while playing: unknown unrecoverable error on a black screen and the game will auto-quit.
There is no known fix. Downgrading Quality Shadows: Player can only reduce the sudden crash chances. (Same issue confirmed with the GOG and original retail 3CDs versions). EVERYTHING has already been tried, even fixes through MS ACT or Vulkan wrappers and more...
As a quick crash test you can load Light Campaign, 4th mission: Deserted Temple. Selecting "Restart Mission" multiple times sooner or later the game will crash, especially when using highest gfx settings.

📢 Recommended: DO NOT use "Restart Mission" at all (install this patch)[1drv.ms]. Use Return to Map instead.

Edit (you can use HxD[mh-nexus.de]) the 'enclave.exe' and replace byte $0E with $2E at address $00000126 to increase >2GB memory patch.
00000126: 0E to 2E

If you're too noob to manually modify the exe, you can try with tool 4GB Patch: https://ntcore.com/?page_id=371

Original game issues fixed on modern HW:

• torch lighting problems in the very first level with modern drivers
  
• issues with Windows color palette when you quit the game
  
• other minor rendering issues

Good news!
Voodooman has found a good D3D8 wrapper perfectly working with Enclave, that solves also brightness change issues with Windows 10 (not fixed by WineD3D)!
All you have to do is to download and use dgVoodoo2[dege.freeweb.hu] wrapper by Dege (see FAQ).

1) copy from dgVoodoo2_xxx.zip the files ...\MS\x86\D3D8.dll & ddraw.dll in the same dir of Enclave.exe
2) run just once dgVoodooCpl.exe, adjust DX settings tab as you wish (f.e. increase VRAM to 2-4GB) and uncheck 'dgVoodoo Watermark' to disable logo in the bottom right, and then copy generated dgVoodoo.conf in the same dir of Enclave.exe

Always play with VSync on and select a resolution @120Hz max (120fps).

Be also sure you have installed legacy DX driver components:
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/physx/physx-9-13-0604-legacy-driver/ (NVidia)
https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=35

Done.

Q: Are you really SURE is safe running dgVoodoo2?
A: Yep! https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/DgVoodoo_2

Q: What can I do if the game doesn't work with dgVoodoo2?
A: Some users reported an older version of dgVoodoo 2 solved the problem, so if latest version doesn't work please try an older archive from the official homepage (f.e. ver 2.78.2)

The cinematic 5 intros for the Light Campaign and 5 intros for the Dark Campaign are dubbed in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish.
Poor Steam version of Enclave forgot to set the correct language for the intros.

HOW TO:

Edit "...\Enclave\environment.cfg" and add "BINK_SOUNDTRACK=<n>":
2 for French
3 for German
4 for Italian
5 for Spanish.

E.g. (ITA fix):

VID_RENDER=Direct3D8
XR_SURFOPTIONS=16
VP_FOV=95.000000
VP_FRONTPLANE=0.500000
VP_BACKPLANE=5000.000000
XR_FLARES=0
XR_DLIGHT=1
XR_FASTLIGHT=0
XR_WALLMARKS=1
XR_SHADOWDECALS=1
XR_LODOFFSET=0.000000
XR_LODSCALEBIAS=0.000000
XR_STENCILSHADOWS=0
XR_PORTALTEXTURESIZE=256
XR_SHADOWDECALTEXTURESIZE=256
VID_MODE=1920 1080 32 60
BINK_SOUNDTRACK=4
XR_SPLINETESSLEVEL=1.000000
R_PICMIP0=0
R_PICMIP2=0
R_PICMIP3=0
R_PICMIP4=0
R_PICMIP5=0
R_PICMIP6=0
R_PICMIP7=0
R_PICMIP1=0
R_ANISOTROPY=1.000000
SND_USE3D=1

Wizard bug (fix included)
There is a bug with the wizard class, making the wizard very weak actually.

Sorceress and wizard should get a damage bonus with better armor while druid and lich get better summonings, but the wizard does not benefit from that: I discovered a syntax error causing that bug while working on a mod for enclave.

You can easily test it out yourself: With armor level 2, the sorceress does double the damage done by the wizard (damage over time effects are not affected, however the initial damage of the staff is).

Download the bugfix here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/02398thg562t3b3/enclave_wizard_bugfix.zip?dl=0

Just unpack the zip file in your Enclave folder and overwrite the old file(s). Feel free to create a backup of your original files (...\SteamApps\common\Enclave\Sbz1\registry).
Now the wizard is as powerful as he should be!

Enjoy!

👉🏻 Playing in OpenGL mode is deprecated: less special FX, crashes in certain levels. Use VID_RENDER=Direct3D8 and force v-sync on and enable g-sync if you can.

Still runs perfectly fine and smoothly on my ASUS GL703GS with i7-8750h (12 threads), gtx 1070 MP 8GB, 32GB DDR4 2666Mhz, 144Hz 1080p screen with g-sync, Windows 10 22H2 (feb 2023).
NVidia driver 527.56 SD.

Set Steam Input for this game to "Default", do not force Steam Input remapping for this game.
Edit '...\Enclave\options.cfg' and change this line like this:
Change/rename original '...\Enclave\config.mpp' and create a new one containing (only) this section to use and remap XBox controller 🎮 just like it was on the XBox 1[www.gamesdatabase.org] edition in 2002 (apparently missing Crossbow assisted circular aiming though):

DPAD = not working, you have to use keyboard for menus (someone can give me a hand with menu controls, without a 3rd party input wrapper like Xidi or XInputPlus?)
OK BUTTON = Y
BACK BUTTON = LB
