💡 Beginner Tips

  • Back up your original D3D9.dll before replacing it, so you can revert if something goes wrong.
  • If you're using a mod manager, install this manually to ensure the DLL lands in the right folder.
  • Check if your game version is compatible — this mod is old, so it might conflict with newer patches.
