DDrawCompat VS ddwrapper

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.

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.

Many older games use direcrdraw instead of directx which has lots of issues with modern hardware, but you can just copy paste a wrapper file into the game folder to fix it. I fixed it by using something called ddwrapper . Drop the files in the BG1 folder and set everything to 1 in the config file except fps display and if you're like me then it should work correctly and will even make the performance much better.
