I'm using dgvoodoo2 with Metal Gear Solid 2 (GOG version). I have set my screen to timeout in a couple of minutes in Windows 10 due to reasons, but the screensaver doesn't respect the game running at all and activates if I don't press any keys within the set time duration (such as during watching a cutscene). Now I have checked and this issue doesn't occur when using GOG's own d3d8.dll wrapper.

Can this issue be fixed in dgvoodoo2's d3d8.dll wrapper?

Thanks.

?
There is an option in the dgv config General section to disable screensaver/monitor sleep. That should work.

Ah, I see it was added in the latest version. Since there was no reply here I thought it wasn't added yet.

Thanks!
