Interesting, but how do you change the type of engine though? I couldn't find any mention in the info page other than UI instructions.

Hiya everyone :)
I had a bit of trouble getting this to not give me an error of certain .dll's not installed.

I am not a "gamer" so it appears those are things that are automatically installed with zoom and other games.

I grabbed .dll's from wherever and that was a bad thing since other things came :( That took a bit to fix.

So, my non tuning win10 lappy is my next move to check out this program. Can you guys give me a direction to check and follow the download so I don't kill anything? I am not well versed on anything newer than xp for protection, it's truly why my stuff wasn't killed during this "wanting to check out this program".

Thanks for any help anyone wants to offer.

I didnt actually run it, I just watched the youtube vid. Yes, random untrusted dlls can be a mistake. :(

Yes, I kept going because I felt safe with you guys. All of my "alarms" were going off.

Nothing against Gareth for posting, but shit, some of the stuff would have controlled all of my bank accounts if I had them on this 'puter....I had BS they could attack. I don't think the original poster had any idea of what these kids were going to take from an average person :thumbdown:

That didnt come from that app though right? It sounds like you just searched them out and added random dlls to your system?

I just tested in a sandbox and I see how you got in to trouble. It needs dlls which look like directx 11, vulcan, visual c, etc. I searched for directx 11 and it seems microsoft dont have a link for it anymore, so what comes up probably include dodgy sites. Perhaps vulcan is enough and hooks in to the dlls in the app and a lot of games would install this so I think you are right that it works on most pcs but not ones that dont have games on them. I have old and trusted installers put aside for some of these things, but most people dont. But when I run the download on my main machine it just works, nothing to add.

This is a cool project, i can see how it looks bad, but i did some looking, if you checkout the guys youtube channel you'l see he's right into modding all the engines and making some cool stuff, like writing his own vulkan renderer
