Introduction

DXGL is a free replacement for the Windows ddraw.dll library, running on OpenGL. It is designed to overcome driver bugs, particularly in Windows Vista and newer operating systems. It also adds various enhancements to the graphics output such as display scaling and filtering options. DXGL supports the DirectX 7.0 graphics APIs, however it is currently under development and does not work with many programs.

DXGL is currently in an alpha stage, but several applications and games already work.

System Requirements

  • Windows Vista (with SP2), 7 (with SP1), 8, 8.1, or 10 (standard build)
  • Windows XP (with SP3), Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, or 10 (legacy build)
    • Also compatible with most versions of Wine, by setting the ddraw DLL override to "native, builtin" which is done automatically at installation.
