DDrawCompat VS cnc-ddraw

In short, you extract the zip, rename the game's main directory as "Metal Knight", then create a folder inside, and name it "sav", otherwise the game will crash if you attempt to save. You'll also need to download a directdraw dll file called DDrawCompat (link), and place that file in the game's main directory.

The framerate tanks when you hack in a higher resolution. You could try a graphics wrapper like ddrawcompat. Download the latest release and drop the ddraw.dll into your Sims install folder (Where Sims.exe is). However, if the resolution you hacked in is close to 4k, the screen will smear when scrolling.

Currently I usually either use dgvoodoo2 which is a bit more general in that it's trying to emulate the entirety of DX1-9 (Including DirectDraw up to v7) or Glide though DX11/12 or DDrawCompat which seems fairly similar in scope to cnc-ddraw and works wonderfully for playing The Sims 1, I recommend installing it with the widescreen patcher to also enable gameplay at a larger resolution than 1024x768.

If you can make a clean install and add the DDrawCompact to it, you should be able to run it properly on win 10. About Tiberian Sun, i recommend chekcing out this launcher.

Download this DX7 wrapper https://github.com/narzoul/DDrawCompat/

There's also DDrawCompat which you can just drop in the folder. I haven't tried it with BG1 but I've had luck using it with other older games.

https://github.com/FunkyFr3sh/cnc-ddraw (fixes all issues you can have with DirectDraw, an old 2d API, can have its use for both windows users and people who use wine on linux)

cnc-ddraw also fixes it for me. https://github.com/FunkyFr3sh/cnc-ddraw/releases

Get CnC-DDRAW, extract the .dll, paste it on your SUN folder and it should take care of the rest.

And now the tricky part... and the reason why I was not able to run both RA2 and TS... You need a library called cnc-ddraw ( Releases · FunkyFr3sh/cnc-ddraw (github.com) ) which fixes a lot of things for old games. When using windows you need to copy the ddraw.dll and ddraw.ini files from the zip and you are done but when using wine/proton you need a simple launch option to load the custom dll file instead of the protons builtin ddraw. Thanks to u/RoweenX4 and some google-fu.

Regardless if you had to do the above, install https://github.com/FunkyFr3sh/cnc-ddraw/releases to your IWD2 folder and run the game thenafter.

I did everything mentioned in this post regarding the file ( https://github.com/FunkyFr3sh/CnC-DDraw/releases )

Download CnC-DDRAW from their GitHub, paste it on your RA2 folder and launch the game again

Try installing cnc-ddraw or ts-ddraw, then use a Game Capture source to hook onto the game window.
