I use dgVoodoo 2 2.78.1. (DDraw.dll, D3DImm.dll) Select Window mode, uncheck keep window aspect ratio and use 640x480 resolution. For scanlines (less Jaggy) use stretched keep aspect ratio CRT like.

Also right-click AbeWin.exe and make sure 640x480 resolution is selected. The game now runs perfect and no more cutscene slideshows. :)

There's now also R.E.L.I.V.E. which fixes a few bugs in the game and can run in window mode or fullscreen. Both R.E.L.I.V.E. and dgVoodoo work fine together in the same directory.

R.E.L.I.V.E. is a fan effort to create a new engine, capable of replacing Digital Dialect's ageing PC port for Oddworld's first two cult-classic games.

More than twenty years after their release, both games struggle to run on modern platforms, usually requiring a third-party application like DxWnd just to run them properly.

R.E.L.I.V.E. intends to become a complete replacement of both the original AbeWin.exe/Exoddus.exe and any third-party tools, by providing both convenience and compatibility features like:

Thank you very much. Didn't know that.

khedoros: I found someone's fix on the Steam forums, and figured I'd share it here.

1. Create a file called aqrit.cfg in your Abe's Oddysee folder, and put these settings in it:

;;; www.bitpatch.com ;;;

RealDDrawPath = AUTO
BltMirror = 0
BltNoTearing = 1
ColorFix = 0
DisableHighDpiScaling = 0
FakeVsync = 1
FakeVsyncInterval = 14
ForceBltNoTearing = 0
ForceDirectDrawEmulation = 1
NoVideoMemory = 0
SingleProcAffinity = 1
ShowFPS = 0

2. Download the DirectDraw wrapper from (grrrr, won't let me post links, for some reason: "bitpatch dot com slash ddwrapper dot html".

3. Extract ddraw.dll into the same location as aqrit.cfg
Thanks a lot, it worked for me.
Just a quick note that with RELIVE you don't need dgVoodoo, custom ddraw.dll files etc, dxwnd etc, as it supersedes their functionalities
