I'm unsure if anyone will see this, but has anyone had issues getting DDrawCompat working on PCs with decent hardware? I tried it on a basic integrated laptop and it ran Sims fine with decent framerate, scrolling with the mouse at a house with a lot of objects. Yet trying to get it running on a gaming desktop just results in it crashing shortly after the game starts to load.

I know dgvoodoo is another option, but if possible I would prefer to get DDrawCompat working on my normal computer, dgvoodoo seems to have framerate issues while scrolling the lots with many objects. Sadly it seems DDrawCompat, nor its numerous forks on Github have had any updates. I also tried a few other Direct wrappers without much luck.
