I've just tried running Markus' Glide2x.dll again, this time on a fresh new Windows XP, with .Net Framework 1.1 installed. Nothing was running, I even disabled the antivirus scanner. This partition is just a few weeks old, and is only used for testing purposes (I'm beta testing SP2 for Microsoft). I'm hoping this doesn't make a difference, but this is also why this XP hasn't SP1 installed, but SP2 RC1.
I've unlocked Glidos on this partition, just in case. (Sorry about that, Paul! I'll let you know if I run out of keys. Again.) Anyway, all this didn't make much of a difference, the results were the same: Paul's Glide2x.dll works, Markus' Glide2x.dll crashes.
It could be the processor (Athlon 1.33 GHz), maybe it doesn't handle Markus' optimizations all that well. The runtime files thing seems a bit doubtful to me, not only have I Framework installed (on both partitons), but on my work partition I also Studio .Net 2003 installed, just like Markus. (I am a programmer, I just haven't programmed in C++, or C#, only VB.)
Apart from this, I've noticed no ill effects when running the new Glide2x.dll with EnableMipmaps=1. TR1 seems to run smoothly, not choppy, like Artie150 noticed. The sound is sometimes a bit laggy, but that might be a problem with VDMSound.
BTW, I just noticed an OpenGlide 0.09 RC7 on Sourceforge. Coincidence? I think not!
