• Divine Divinity - my game looks... bad?

• I was finally able to play my first ever RTS in windows 11, but I still need a bit of help.

  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.

• Lag Issue with Sims 1 Complete Collection
  1 project | /r/thesims | 15 Aug 2022

  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.

• I can't believe it's simpler to run old Windows games on Wine (without any tweaks) than on actual Windows

  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.

• Does anyone know how I can fix this? Anywhere I move my cursor, it leaves behind this mess:

  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.
