DXGL

Some keen-eyed visitors may have noticed in the past few months the IP address for dxgl.org, dxgl.info, and related servers has changed. Everyone should certainly be aware that this year the world has been hit with a major, potentially catastrophic pandemic, COVID-19. In March-April the state where ...

Weird, tried it on the latest NVIDIA drivers and the framerate seems fine. An ancient version of DXGL, version 0.1.6, does seem to trigger the slowdown. Perhaps I should check if the system timers are being modified. EDIT: It appears my system timer resolution is switching to 1ms when the game is ru...

That is something I will need to investigate; I seem to have slow framerate on my i7-7700k/GTX1080 system too. I checked with FRAPS and yes I am seeing a drop from 30 to 15 fps in-game. I will have to investigate further as I may be missing the vertical blank or something. I'll look at earlier versi...

I have begun development of the scaling mode. Please note I plan on retiring the Bugzilla instance, and when I do so I will let you know the location of the bug tracker.

P.S. Life is getting busy again, but I will see how much time I can give to developing this complex new feature.

Sorry, things got a bit busy for me and I ended up releasing 0.5.17 with only minor changes. It is now slated for 0.5.18 once I finish getting overlays working.

The DXGL source code will be moving its primary repository to GitHub in the near future. The repository will be able to be found at the following URL: https://github.com/dxgldotorg/dxgl In order to access the current development repository you will need a Git client. Windows users can go to https://...

Strange; I just unzipped the DXGL source code to a fresh VM with Visual C++ 2008 Express SP1 and it built fine. Next I'll try skipping the build dependencies and see if I can get it to not build. Make sure you aren't trying to build the "Debug no DXGL" target, as it is very buggy and may only build ...

The COM fix adds a registry entry in the user registry that gives ddraw.dll a relative path when accessed via COM. It isn't needed for ZC as Allegro uses DirectDrawCreateEx to create the DirectDraw object.

As for the ddraw.dll crash I will look into it in the coming days.

I do believe static linking would run into LGPL issues as that would mean including nonfree code in the binary. However, the runtimes required are the x86 versions of msvcr100.dll and msvcp100.dll This package contains the fully updated versions of the runtimes: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downl...
