DXGL

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...

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 )...

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...

It will require a significant amount of work to make this game work, according to my preliminary testing.
Support will not appear in my upcoming DXGL release, as this will potentially delay its release considerably, and the upcoming release has very significant changes reagarding configuration.
