Aargon Deluxe #128

Closed davidebeatrici closed 1 month ago

davidebeatrici commented 3 years ago

I would like to document the steps to fix Aargon Deluxe on Windows 10.

  1. Extract d3d8.dll (from Stub directory), dxwrapper.dll and dxwrapper.ini into the game's directory.
  2. Open dxwrapper.ini and set:
    • DDrawCompat to 1 to fix the rendering issue that manifests when the game's window is put in background and then foreground again:

      This also fixes the partial rendering issue that I encountered on a small laptop/tablet that has scaling set to 150%:

    • DisableHighDPIScaling to 0 to prevent the image in the launch window from being rendered incorrectly:

PCGamingWiki is all ears for you.

I believe it should also be documented in this repository's Wiki.

I have never really understood much of the point in duplicating the content of issues, even considering that sooner or later they are bound the become outdated. A specialized wiki could have much more added value here, if it could document technically "the stuff" that Windows more and more leaves behind.

Thanks for the details. Closing issue.
