Re: Is ddraw fully supported?

Many features are not fully implemented yet.

For a rough estimate of what APIs are currently supported (I have to go through the list again) see https://dxgl.org/wiki/DXGL_Features

Re: Website issues

It appears website issues have currently subsided, except for occasional CPU usage alerts from my host caused by a runaway MySQL process, however the site seems to be perfectly fast when it's happening. EDIT: The CPU usage has been traced to attempted brute force attacks on the WordPress installatio...

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. Most DirectDraw programs are 32-bit and thus this version will not work for them. Use...

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...
