Grand Prix World - Windows 11 - Stuck at "Loading DDrawCompat statically" #137

Closed Priyantha closed 1 year ago

Priyantha commented 2 years ago

Hi,

I am trying to run the game Grand Prix World with the 2022 mod(https://gpmplanet.proboards.com/thread/197) created by 'Meanie'. I replaced the ddraw.dll from that release already with the latest with Debugging enabled to provide some logs. gpw.zip

So I have done a crash dump of the process(Task manager > Create dump file). And the content of the logfile named "DDrawCompat-gpw.log" is copy/pasted below:

333c 11:54:38.398 Process path: F:\GPW2022\gpw.exe 333c 11:54:38.398 Environment variable __COMPAT_LAYER = "" 333c 11:54:38.398 Loading DDrawCompat statically from F:\GPW2022\DDRAW.dll

I am running: Windows 11, Version 22H2 (OS Build 25151.1010) Nvidia driver: 472.12

This seems to be the same issue as #136. I can only say the same thing I said there: this is an insider preview build of Windows 11, I cannot debug the issue until the update becomes publicly available, since I'm not an insider.

I guess I will add a note to the readme that Windows Insider builds are not supported, whenever I update it for the next release.

Thanks :-) Will wait then when this build has become stable.

Should be fixed in both new releases (v0.3.2 and v0.4.0) now.
