IP addresses are no longer logged unless the server generates an error (this is an Nginx bug). IP addresses are still logged by the forum during the registration process as an anti-spam measure (see IP bans in the topic below this one). The downloads section is now log-free, including the Visual C++...

Since Bugzilla already displays a privacy warning, I will be canceling any changes to the bug tracker for the time being. This privacy notice has already been added to the site's Privacy Policy and has been in place for many years.

Hi William, is it safe to experiment a bit if you have a ddraw.lib copy? Is it easy to revert back to that copy if something goes wrong? The .lib does not contain any DXGL components, as it is compiled as a DLL. The DLL has to be placed in the game folder to work, something DXGL Config does automat...

EDIT: I have encountered one spam user originating from a Google Cloud server. Still, I have not found any IP a...

If you link Allegro against DXGL ddraw.lib it will still work with the system ddraw.dll, just as the DXGL ddraw.dll is intended to work with applications linked against the Microsoft ddraw.lib. Nothing s...

If you are using Internet Explorer 8 on Windows XP you may have found you are having certificate errors. As of my last certificate renewal I have removed this domain from my other domain's certificate. As a result, a web browser supporting SNI ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Name_Indication )...

Odd; I got it to work by setting Video mode in DXGL Config to either Stretch to screen or Aspect corrected stretch. Oddly enough, it is actually ignoring the aspect correction. Maybe for the new config program I am working on, I could have it set a specific resolution on launch, in order to get arou...
