seems like the refreshes by "Your Name" did it i grabbed the binary from before the refreshes, and it worked

This was added to fix windows 10 DPI scaling. You can custom compile master without it by commenting out the single call in pc_main.cpp then removing the lib reference. WIll invstigate if there is a way to gracefully fail when its not present, perhaps loading the library manually.

I had said that I'm on Windows 7; the DLL file doesn't exist, and even if you get it from an online source, it won't work because the DLL is for Windows 8 and up, so, about that "single call" that requires the DLL located in pc_main.cpp, what line DO I need to comment out, and what library reference?

I realize this is old news, but if you compile under mingw on win7, it produces a binary that works without that dll - without having to modify code.

However only on 64-bit. If you build 32-bit it won't run, dunno why.
