Project mention: Blood Omen 2 problematic compatibillity | /r/LegacyOfKain | 2023-07-08

So Blood Omen 2 runs fine when i use the d3d8.dll from, this link https://github.com/crosire/d3d8to9/releases and fixes my menu issues/freezing on Windows 10. But i also wanted to try the Conceptual edition mod which comes with its version of the Revamped d3d8.dll which upon launch of the game always crashes it. Any suggestions, I can play Vanilla fine now but i really wanted to try the mod . There is a substantial size difference between the two dll files if that helps. I wondered if i can merge them ?
