Guide for 64-bit applications?

[atanasa]

I am trying to use this with a 64-bit game. For some reason if I unzip the files in the main folder, the d3d9.dll is not loaded. I am observing the loading using Procmon64.exe and the application loads the dll from system. I looked at the d3d9.dll at the root folder and noticed that it is 32-bit. Also in your description, you say that the bridge application is used to use 64-bit code (in the .trex folder) even when the main application is 32-bit.

For that reason I tried to copy the content of the .trex folder to the application root instead. After that I saw that the d3d9.dll (the one from .trex) is being loaded (from Procmon log). Also I saw a log file appear in the application root. I didn't see the welcome message and couldn't open the developer menu using Alt-X.

Is this the expected way to do it for a 64-bit application? Is there some logic in the bridge application that is not included in the renderer?

Make sure the DLLs are in the correct folder, there are some programs that require the DLLs to be in odd places. Which game is it?

For 64-bit games you don't need the 32 to 64 bit Remix Bridge components, so you did the right thing by placing the .trex files directly next to the game executable. Can you provide log files and the name of the game you are trying to run so we can help troubleshoot further?

I was trying it out on Guild wars 2, but today they obsoleted the dx9 renderer and the chance to get this working is probably very slim. There is still a way to run the game in dx9 but not sure for how long and the game being too "new" might be a problem anyway. Also it embeds a chromium component that seems to be using dx9 too and might be messing up with the remix renderer.

For references, the logs that I got are:

Thank you for reaching out. We can confirm that Guild Wars 2, and any title, will be incompatible with Remix without the DX9 renderer.
