Version 1.0.0
7 downloads
EmulateHeap shim is broken since Windows 11 22H2. Due to this, certain apps that need this shim (for example, Interstate 76, M1 Tank Platoon II, Battlezone 1998, etc) refuse to work properly. To use this tool, run the Command Prompt in the executable folder and execute the command: earlyload.exe program.exe where "program.exe" is the executable to be executed. If a program already has EmulateHeap applied (for example, Interstate 76), you are required to disable the shim first, generally by renaming the executable to a different name which will cut access to the shim, or by using the Windows ADK to disable the shim directly, or any method you know. Remember that the application may need the other shims to work properly, so in that case, you will need to manually install the other shims. The program was tested to run on Windows 7 and later. The DLL can be utilised to run in Windows XP, but the loader needs to be modified. Although the motive of it was to solve the shim on Windows 11, it was easily ported to older versions later on. The problem was solved by cracyc on SourceForge, and the loader executable was developed by cracyc, later improved by ghotik on SourceForge. Password is "pcgw" without the quotes. -

With older titles I've noticed many Windows 8/8.1 users have a trend of experiencing poor preformance in games using DirectX 7 or lower as well as DirectDraw. The only thing closest to a remedy I've found this forum post showing use with Microsoft Compatability Toolkit and a custom ddraw.dll. I can confirm that the ddraw.dll really does improve performance on my machine, as for MCT though, its hit or miss. I've started this to see if something more elaborate should be added to the wiki about Windows 8/8.1 D3D compatability or if someone else had a better solution to the problem. I apologize if this is in the wrong section, as this is my first forum post.

As everyone should be well aware XPs support has now officially ended. You may also know that was last microsofts OS to use "My Documents" while all newer versions use simply "Documents". What I'd like to propose is that wiki would simply do the same with save/config locations. Some still use XP but we are talking minority here, Steam hardware survey says ~5% of users are still on XP.
