Re: Website issues

Upgraded the phpBB installation to the latest 3.3.3; tested signup and it seems to be working correctly; make sure your browser can handle the reCAPTCHA v3 challenge present on the signup page. For only the phpBB installation, PHP has been updated to 8.0 as it is now certified to work with phpBB. Th...

Re: Website issues

There is a little breakage in the phpBB installation, but I currently consider it low priority; if you cannot sign up then that would be an issue.

Re: Website issues

I removed a service that was getting hit constantly with attempted attacks, and causing its logs to fill the storage and cause the MySQL and PHP services to crash.

Website issues

I'm aware of issues with the DXGL websites, and am working to get the site running in a stable manner again. Please be patient. If the main site doesn't work, you may still attempt to download DXGL at https://dxgl.org/download which does not depend on PHP or MySQL to operate. All source code since N...

Re: does this work with windowed games?

Hi. I'm about to embark on major updates to DXGL. Fixing this sync issue will be something I will try to do, but I cannot make any promises in this phase of updates.

64-bit information

As of version 0.5.19, DXGL now has a 64-bit (x64 platform) version. Before downloading this version please understand the following: The 64-bit version is for the sole purposes of supporting 64-bit target programs.

Re: DX /MT libs

dinput8 and dsound can be found in the Windows SDK. dxguid.lib can be found in the DirectX SDK. A compatible version of ddraw.lib is generated by the build process for DXGL. All these libraries simply represent Win32 APIs, and thus should not be affected by the /MT build option. DXGL is currently on...

Upcoming features - 0.6.0

DXGL 0.6.0 will be intended to have a few technical upgrades over the 0.5.x series, as follows: Complete rewrite of backend Due to inefficiencies and complexity of the current render backend, this will be rewritten for 0.6.0. After release 0.5.20 the source repository will have a "0.5" bra...

Contact page temporarily disabled

The contact pages on forum.dxgl.info and dxgl.org have been temporarily disabled, as I am currently having spam problems. They will be re-enabled hopefully by this weekend with an updated configuration.

Re: Revert system changes with uninstalling ?

Global settings apply to all programs to which DXGL has been applied. Uninstalling will delete all instances of DXGL tracked by the configuration utility thus reverting the programs to normal.

Programs that do not have a DXGL ddraw.dll in their folder will not be affected at all by the settings.
