Hey, not a problem. Glad I could help. (This dxcp9.0c is kind of cool.)

Re: Otherworldly phenomenon renders FFR unplayable

Thank you so much!!! If anyone else has frame rate issues on FP10/11, I highly recommend trying this out!

In dxdiag, I noticed directx hardware acceleration was enabled by default. So, I downloaded the DirectX Control Panel 9.0c, and unchecked "Use Hardware Acceleration" on the Direct3D and DirectDraw tabs. I have so many frames now, I have no idea what to do with them all

I was also having frame rate problems with trying to play on R^3 in F11, sooo I decided to try this ... and it broke ddreamstudio.

I'd click on the icon and nothing would happen. I turned the DX options back on and restarted my computer, and ddream still wouldn't open. I tried running it as an administrator, clicked through the full-screen "ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO DO THIS!?!?!?!" pop-up ... and that got the program to open. So, yeah, I have to turn on "Run as Administrator" in ddream's compatibilitiy options now.

But also, this means I can't run two instances of ddream anymore. Any full-screen takeover breaks the program. So by trying to open a new window, Windows's security freak-out kills the first instance of ddream ... This just won't do.

So, uh ... I guess ... Help, please?

I would rather figure out how to get ddream work again without having to run it as an admin than try to make the full-screen security pop-up not activate, because that would be a cure for the symptom, not the disease.

P.S. I'm on Windows 7 with DirectX 11. The dX9c tool did work to disable those options for dX11, but uh, whoops.

EDIT:
Nevermind. I did a system restore to the day before I downloaded the thing, and that erased the problem. But yeah, anyone who uses ddream should be cautious of trying this.
