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.
