Rich4 DDrawCompat-v0.5.0 displays black screen

[horxd33]

Rich4 v3.11 (game) opens the game with DDrawCompat-v0.4.0 (ddraw.dll) default settings and can display normally, load the game and play

Rich4 v3.11 (game) will display a black screen when opening the game with DDrawCompat-v0.5.0 (ddraw.dll) default settings, but there will be a sound to confirm that the game can be loaded. I fiddled with the settings but still can't display the screen properly. I tried forcing ForceD3D9On12 settings. The loading menu will not display a black screen, but there will be some graphics errors after entering the game.

The following are relevant logs https://mega.nz/folder/MGRgSaaR#n1sVRZwityvJL6lKFrhVUQ

Maybe a little irrelevant discussion https://sourceforge.net/p/dxwnd/discussion/general/thread/98e13c2ffe/

From a quick look, it's the same issue as #255. Hopefully when I figure that one out, it'll fix this too.

Please try the fix candidate posted under the other issue and let me know if it works any better.

@narzoul I tried DDrawCompat-v0.5.0-debug-previous-builds.7z from https://github.com/narzoul/DDrawCompat/issues/255

v0.4.0-29-g12c4f87c (the last version that can display normally without black screen)

v0.4.0-30-gdefdfafe (from this version onwards, a black screen will be displayed)

Ok, that last issue has nothing to do with Intel drivers at least. I don't remember what game I made the fix for that caused this crash for you, but I reverted it anyway for now. I guess I'll revisit it when I bump into the original issue again.

Please try the new v0.5.1 release, hopefully it solves all of the above issues.

@narzoul After testing DDrawCompat-v0.5.1 version, it is confirmed that the crash problem after moving the mouse quickly has been solved. Thanks for the instant fix

[narzoul]

Great, thanks for the detailed reports!
