I wouldn't expect Microsoft to care about the problem based on reports from gamers. They care if some enterprise software breaks, which might be the case if a compatibility mode is broken. For gamers it's probably best to hope for someone to create a third party solution, I think hoping gho can …

There's also zeus's patch: https://www.zeus-software.com/downloads/nglide/compatibility Yes, I managed to find it the last night. The patch works on one of the versions, but 2 of the others I tested crash with it. Maybe that's because of version differences (there was even text difference in them). …

Knowing GOG they'll wait until the community finds a fix and then integrate it without much visibility to the original source of the fix. They are right in a way that MS should update their sdb and fix their files/shims since MS is supposed to care about backwards compatibility but if they don't …

Old GOG games are slowly getting killed

I initially thought the EmulateHeap shim was affecting original releases of games and using the GOG releases should fix it. I was wrong, GOG itself depends on the usage of EmulateHeap shim. At a request of checking out why M1 Tank Platoon II GOG doesn't work anymore, I find out both the GOG and …

... On DxWnd forums, people got overlay to work even without this tweak... at least on Win11 I suspect that with DxWnd some kind of emulation is involved. The above tweak only makes sure that if you have proper hardware AND driver support for HW overlay then you can use this feature on Win8+ ( …

Hi, Actually this is a problem since Windows 8. Hardware overlay is deprecated and you have to explicitly enable HW overlay for every application in the registry: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Direct3D\Shims\EnableOverlays] More info about my original HW overlay related problem and how the …
