Froglips Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 I fried a motherboard which required a complete reload as I switched to a Asus Sabertooth 990FX. I had finally figured out how to make SoftTH play nice with BS and Helios and deliver 22fps+. Now I have 2 560Ti cards in SLI, 16gb of RAM, and a faster CPU. So everything is reloaded now after several weeks of work (PITA). The reload of BS seemed to go well. It runs at about 20fps w/o full screen enabled and running 4 monitors including two frame rate sucking USB monitors.. So wierdness, d3d9.dll is not in the Eagle Dynamics/KA-50/bin/x86/stable directory anymore. There is a version in the main KA-50 dir. So I rename the d3d9.dll to d3d9.dll.orig and drop the SoftTH version of the file into the KA-50 dir (with a copy in the stable directory for good measure) with the config.softTHconfig file but no SoftTH logo appears. I have searched for d3d9.dll in my PC. It is in about a dozen places but ONLY in the KA-50 dir in the game. It would be nice to know where BS is looking for the d3d9.dll file. If there is a config file that I should be tweaking, please tell me where to look for it:) Froggie Kurt "Froglips" Giesselman wishing someone would do a two seat sim like LB2...I ain't much of a pilot but I am a helava good shot.

Gadroc Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 Most games wouldn't have a copy of d3d9.dll in their directory. It should be loaded from the windows system folders. If an application does not specify a directory where a dll is it will look in the same directory as the exe file first then look in the window system path. SoftTH takes advantage of this and should be put in the same directory as the .exe files for Black Shark and makes DCS load it instead of the real D3D.

Froglips Posted September 13, 2011 Author Posted September 13, 2011 I have reinstalled DX runtime. d3d9.dll is in BS's bin directory where launcher and the other exes are located. I am mystified. The SoftTH logo doesn't appear when BS starts hence, no SoftTH loading. WTF?
