Update (October 6, 2024): The v0.5.2-17-g291e50ac and older builds in the DDrawCompat-v0.5.3-debug-previous-builds.7z asset were broken by the Windows 11 24H2 update. Patched builds have been added with the DDrawCompat-v0.5.3-debug-previous-builds-win11-24h2.7z asset to resolve the issue by backporting the following commit: 89b2a63. See diff.txt in the new builds for the exact changes. v0.5.2-18-g89b2a631 and newer builds are also included for completeness' sake. These were simply recompiled without source code changes.
Fixed inaccurate cursor clipping in DPI unaware mode
Fixed some display issues when using D3D9On12 with a RenderColorDepth setting not matching the application's color depth
When ForceD3D9On12 is off, Intel GPUs that use D3D9On12 by default will now try to use igd9trinity32.dll instead
Available surface formats now include all DX9 formats (#259)
Added support for Steam overlay in fullscreen mode
Updated configuration settings:
AltTabFix: merged keepwithmemnp into keepvidmem as a parameter, added noactivateapp option

Improved support for DPI unaware mode on high DPI displays
DirectDraw no longer forces the high DPI aware compatibility setting on the executable when it enters fullscreen mode
Broken tooltip fade animations are now replaced with the classic slide animations
DPI scaling no longer affects emulated hardware cursors, which resulted in oversized cursors
