hey aqrit is there a stable version without in game lag? Wanna add this to mca64Launcher


The current build is very stable and has zero lag. It performs flawlessly.

It's only drawback is not working on Official Servers, so if you implement it make sure that's clear to the user.

Weird thing is version .02 works best for me, version .04 gives the blurry fonts.

Aqrit, would you know why? And do you think I'm losing anything by using .02 (older ver?). Of course, still looking for in-game korean fix on icc.


EDIT: And gameplay is the same between .02 and .04. I actually never experienced any lag issues like others in this thread explained. I use Win 7 though, and I think the fix was more targeted for Win 8 / Win 10? Could be why.

If the new patch adds features we never wanted, or introduces new bugs/hacks, or flat out destroys all ability for iccup/fish/windowmode/chaoslauncher to function anymore, there is a good chance everyone will stay on 1.16.1

So it's nice to keep this awesome ddraw project going forward because the patch will probably have slow adoption.

Are you putting the ddraw.dll file in your starcraft folder, where starcraft.exe is ?

If yes... and still nothing fixes... try some of the older versions. Also try running starcraft.exe without any launchers to make sure nothing is getting in the way. If nothing works post your specs here so the author can look into it (graphics card, 64/32-bit windows 8, etc).

doesn't work
does it get loaded?

the easiest way to tell is to
install this version: http://www.bitpatch.com/downloads/war2_ddraw_test4.zip
then alt+enter should switch the game from fullscreen to windowed

be careful if using a loader... you may have the game installed to two different places.
or some launchers (like gameranger) mess up the current directory (or something) and break this...

and
If a DLL with the same module name is already loaded in memory, the system uses the loaded DLL, no matter which directory it is in. The system does not search for the DLL.

If the DLL is on the list of known DLLs for the version of Windows on which the application is running, the system uses its copy of the known DLL (and the known DLL's dependent DLLs, if any). The system does not search for the DLL. For a list of known DLLs on the current system, see the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\KnownDLLs.

It works on iCCup and Fish but doesn't work for official (dead) servers. It should fix mouse lag.

Hey Aqrit, if you're reading this, could you look into supporting 1.17.0 (even though it isn't needed anymore). Right now, the W-Mode plugin that the community uses is broken, and the author is nowhere to be found, so it'd be nice to have a windowed mode for BW.

Looks like that error occurs if Direct3D is unable to initialize:

I would update your graphics drivers... find the original Intel HD Graphics driver for that laptop model/motherboard and update them. That's my guess.

Does this still break the korean fonts?
The harder it becomes, the more you should focus on the basics.
