- Description:
- Microsoft DirectDraw API has been deprecated. This mod hopes to resolve graphic card related issues with DirectDraw. This mod is something of an adjunct to the discussion threads: IE games and NVidia Series 8 video cards and How to deal with the DDraw problems of PST and other IE games.
- Components:
- Force DirectDraw Emulation:
- "The DirectDraw object does not take advantage of any hardware-supported features."
- Cons: No Vsync.
- Force DirectDraw Emulation and Cursor Artifact Toggle: for PST and BG1 ( without TotSC )
- Eliminates cursor artifacts from the main menu screen.
- Recommended for Win7 or less, supposedly behavior has changed for Win8.
- Use WineD3D DirectDraw Library:
- "WineD3D is the component of Wine that implements a replacement for Microsoft Direct3D. WineD3D works as a wrapper for Direct3D calls, and relies on OpenGL for the actual rendering job. Although primarily designed for use in Wine, WineD3D can also be used on native Windows."
- The relevant dlls were ripped from here. They were bundled with this mod for your convenience.
- Cons: Slower game startup and difficulty switching between windows.
- DpiAware:
- "Applications that do not handle the high DPI case are likely to exhibit visual artifacts."
- All mod components automatically disable high dpi scaling. ( just-in-case )
IE DDrawFix is installed via WeiDU.
