Windows 10 Graphics Lag Issues and Potiential Ways to Fix.

[Sejanus]

Warning:
Do NOT copy any of these files into Windows\System32, Windows\SysWoW64 or any path included in the PATH environment variable or Windows will no longer work!

IF ANY of the DLL files make your PC run weird, try another option:) or make sure it has no effect on processor;)

Here are 8 possible fixes:)

1. Download DDrawCompat from here: https://github.com/narzoul/DDrawCompat/releases/download/v0.5.4/DDrawCompat-v0.5.4.zip
actually its one file ddraw.dll which you need to put into your dark side folder. Game will run in lower graphics, but smoothly and fast!
You can alter setting to your liking by pressing shift+f11 in the game!
It works best on windows 11, makes game way faster!
More info about this soluton for professional use here: https://github.com/narzoul/DDrawCompat

2. 5. Virtual machine with windows XP, makes it great if you don't have any vm bugs!

or vmware:

3. Tomeks FIX!
Once you install windows 10, do not update it at all leave it as it is and there will be no graphic lag. (usable only when you don't need updates for other Windows stuff)

4. Mini fix > Run the game in compatibility mode, tick Windows XP SP3, reduced colour mode 16bit, and run as administrator.
(doesn't fully fix issue, but game is little faster.

5. DLL files I use, its less of them, but they are weird:)
libwine, wined3d, ddraw, d3d8, d3d9. (makes game fast, but jumpy walk and possible crashes)
Download from here: http://www.niedobry.webd.pl/aot/patches/Win10Fix(well%20kinda).rar
(Put them in your game folder where game exe is in eg. E:\DarkSide)

6. dxwrapper all files (wined3d) (makes game weird too of course)

Instructions with the files!

7. DLL files from lomcn:
http://mirfiles.com/mir3/Mir%203%20win%2010%20fix.rar
(Put them in your game folder where game exe is in eg. E:\DarkSide)

8. Special graphics card driver settings (not via nvidia control panel etc. more advanced and specific manual mixing, or forcing drivers for different windows version)
