American Conquest - GL Wrapper & Patch v.2.2.4 - Game mod - Download

GL Wrapper & Patch is a mod for American Conquest, created by Verok.

Description:

This patch/wrapper redirects legacy DirectDraw calls into OpenGL 1.1/3.0 which allows run and play GSC games on modern PC with Windows 8/8.1/10

Fixes & features:

1. Games render via OpenGL
2. Games can now easily minimize on new OS
3. Games can now easily switch into windowed/fullscreen mode
4. Fixed problem with 1024x768x8 display mode
5. Fixed problem with intro movies, i.e., no needs to rename video folder

Key combinations:

1. Alt+Enter - Windowed/Fullscreen mode
2. Alt+F - On/Off FPS counter
3. Alt+M - Mouse capture (for windowed mode)

Installation:

For Windows users

1. Remove all compability modes for your game
2. Download archive
3. Extract its content into your game root
4. Launch the game via dmcr.exe
5. Have fun ;)

For Wine users

1. Download archive
2. Extract its content into your game root
3. Launch Wine Configuration ( $ winecfg )
4. On "Applications" tab add your dmcr.exe, in case if it's not there (see example)
5. On "Libraries" tab make sure dplayx is selected as "Native then Builtin" (see example)
6. Launch the game via dmcr.exe

NOTE: This patch does not remove SafeDisk and other protections, so it doesn't fix executable protection on newer OS, e.g. Windows Vista/7/8/10. You need to have DRM-free executable, or just download no-cd.
