Just tested it now in very old game (the nations/alien nations) and it works like a charm.

Thank you so much. Best wishes⭐

Btw - recording did not work before (in OBS), but now everything absolutely fine (just a very little issues with cursor, but it's not a problem really).

So once again thank you, it really helps a lot and gives you the opportunity to play cool old games ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Thanks for the feedback!

What do you mean by cursor issues? I don't seem to have any in either game.

BK-2-0-1 commented 3 years ago

It's like cursor disappear for a millisecond, as i said its not problem at all. in original version of game it looks like the box around cursor and when you move it - cursor creates copy of itself, and it's very hard to play like this (obviously). with new ddraw version everything fine. (with old version the whole screen is blinking for some reason)

i can show you a gif, for a clearer understanding: 666

Ok, I saw it a few times now for a few seconds, but only rarely, and so far only when OBS was running/capturing in the background. Does it happen when OBS is not running?

By the way, I only managed to capture a black screen + audio with Game Capture (Capture any fullscreen application). How did you set it up to capture video correctly?

BK-2-0-1 commented 3 years ago

Yeah, OBS change nothing, just capture as it is.

game capture also does not work for me. and i dont know how to launch game in window. so... I just record fullscreen ¯_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯

I think I didn't get as much flickering because my desktop refresh rate was set to 144 Hz. After setting it to 60 Hz, I'm getting constant flickering also. I added some fix related to this in v0.3.1. It isn't perfect, but it should significantly reduce the flickering. Please test it and let me know how it goes!

BK-2-0-1 commented 3 years ago

Okay, i will :)

BK-2-0-1 commented 3 years ago

Checked it out. Everything works perfectly. No cursor lags anymore, game can still be recorded without any troubles. Thank you so much for it :)
