DDraw Fix (For Slowdowns/Stuttering)

Posted 22 April 2011 - 12:47 PM

PST-Drawfix initializes the DirectDraw object to use the Hardware Emulation Layer for all features.
Running the game using HEL causes mouse cursor artifacts to appear in fullscreen mode, that is also fixed by this patch.

DirectDraw Emulation may not work on any OS before Windows XP

newer versions of wined3d can be found

*Note: pst-drawfix has been reported to introduce minor flashes/glitches when casting spells
the best alternative to my patch IMO...
open wined3d.exe inside of 7zip
and extract libwine.dll, wined3d.dll, and ddraw.dll from $SYSDIR into your torment folder
( adds a few seconds to the game's startup time, but worth it. )

the WideScreen mod either installs for Windowed mode or Fullscreen mode... NOT both (which seems extremely odd)
it goes out and checks torment.ini for FullScreen="?" to decide which it is going to install for
so the WideScreen mod does work for windowed mode if you have the game set to windowed mode when you install the widescreen mode ->
(but then it won't work for fullscreen mode...)
