Does not work on windows WSL out the box

Open DukeAbigor opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

Windows WSL causes windows to be case sensitive which in makes the .dll never get loaded. Renaming the file to all lower cases fixes the issue.

Dunno if this necessarily needs fixed but I wanted to open an issue in case anyone else was spending ages looking for a solution as well.

Hi,

Do you mean DWrite.dll? That's quite strange if it indeed works this way, since the original DLL is literally named DWrite.dll (with uppercase D and W) in the System32 dir and the game also imports it with uppercase letters.

DXGI.dll had to be renamed to dxgi.dll for my system to load the mod. I couldn't get the mod to run on my computer at all and I've had case sensitivity issues with games and mods in the past cause of WSL so I just tried renaming to lowercases and it immediately solved the problem. Apologies if this wasn't directly the problem and just inadvertently fixed it.

Ah right, DXGI is indeed lowercase in sys32 too, so that could be it. I'll fix it in the next patch release.
