DDrawCompact messed up Mental Omega's game's UI on Windows10 1809 LTSC #112

As I said in the title, when I entered the game（Mental Omega 3.3.5）, the right build menu bar disappeared completely. When I press ESC, the menu is displayed, but no buttons are displayed, nor can I press any buttons in their original positions.

The following is the content in ddraw.txt

Ok I have solved the problem. Mental Omega's client uses the old version of DDrawCompact, and it is automatically overwritten when the game is started. This problem can be solved by replacing ddrawcompat.dll in the /Resources folder of the client. Sorry again!
