#Opengl 2.0 compatible install
The 32- and 64-bit versions of DXGL install in separate folders and Start Menu entries, and have separate profiles. For usage with 32-bit programs, please download the 32-bit build. The 64-bit build of DXGL is intended solely for targeting 64-bit DirectDraw programs. For the legacy build, Visual C++ 2010 x86 runtime, available at (will be installed if not present).For the standard build, Visual C++ 2019 x86 runtime, available at (note this link may track visitors) (will be installed if not present).The standard build requires a SSE2-capable processor older processors require the legacy build.Requires support for hardware accelerated non-power-of-two textures.Requires support for Framebuffer objects.OpenGL 2.0 or higher compatible video card.Not compatible with Windows 10 in S mode.Also compatible with most versions of Wine, by setting the ddraw DLL override to "native, builtin" which is done automatically at installation.Windows XP (with SP3), Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, or 10 (legacy build).Windows Vista (with SP2), 7 (with SP1), 8, 8.1, or 10 (standard build).If you need to migrate more version 2 profiles, change “Configuration Version” to 2 and re-run the installer. The “Configuration Version” (“Configuration Version 圆4” for the 圆4 version) registry value in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\DXGL will be incremented to 3 in order to indicate this fix has been applied. These new profiles will no longer be compatible with DXGL 0.5.16 or below. DXGL 0.5.17ĭue to a bug found in the method used to uniquely identify profile paths, DXGL 0.5.17 and above will perform a one-time renaming of the profile registry keys. The “Configuration Version” registry value in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\DXGL will be incremented to 2 in order to indicate this fix has been applied. This one-time conversion resets the value for AddColorDepths in the registry entries to 1+4+16 which corresponds to enabling color depths 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit, in order to ensure compatibility with Windows 8 and above. DXGL 0.5.13ĭXGL 0.5.13 fixes up the default value for the “Add color depths” option, because version 0.5.12 and earlier had a default not compatible with current versions. In order to re-run the upgrade, re-run the DXGL installer.
#Opengl 2.0 compatible upgrade
If you wish to migrate any old profiles generated after installing DXGL 0.5.9 or later, you will need to use Regedit to delete the “Configuration Version” registry value from the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\DXGL registry key to force the upgrade to be run again. In addition, any profiles generated by older versions of DXGL going forward will not be recognized by DXGL 0.5.9 or later. If you upgrade from DXGL 0.5.8 or earlier, the configuration format will be changed, and earlier versions of DXGL will no longer recognize the profiles. DXGL supports the DirectX 7.0 graphics APIs, however it is currently under development and many programs are not yet compatible with DXGL. It also adds various enhancements to the graphics output such as display scaling and filtering options.
#Opengl 2.0 compatible driver
It is designed to overcome driver bugs, particularly in Windows Vista and newer operating systems. DXGL is a free replacement for the Windows ddraw.dll library, running on OpenGL.
