@Ryan Douglas Can you look at this? https://github.com/microsoft/D3D9On12 This could be a more permanent solution.

Is there any way to confirm it's using the library? If the newer versions of RF use different versions of directX or 64-bit that could be the difference.

Right, so if Knife Edge used that library (and contributed any changes they make back since it's open source) then they could retain their directX9c stack, but have the software actually work with Vulkan which is far more supported and performant. Also, if they did the same with the wine stuff...

Does this solve the problems? https://forums.realflight.com/index.php?threads/possible-solution-to-the-amd-driver-directx-9c-problems.56027/

I was working with Realflight 7.5 on an AMD 5600xt and couldn't update my drivers past 20.11.2 otherwise I would get all kinds of artifacting. Then I notice this: https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk It's a directX to vulkan layer meant for linux, but works on windows, and works on my system...

20.11.2 is the last version that works for me. I haven't tried the new one from today. This is on my last windows computer. I won't have another one. Windows is a disjointed mess that requires hours and gigs of updating. I am moving to Arm based macs, they are expensive, but super fast and...

That is exactly the problem. Sure but nobody seems to have a problem with putting in port address translation, all modern firewalls make this trivial, and support to do this from the firewall vendor is excellent. If this was all that was needed then this forum wouldn't be full of people...

Actually no, it's not the firewalls fault, it is KE. You see, the software sends the server the IP address so that others can connect to you. The problem is that RF doesn't know what the public IP address is (if you are behind nat) so instead of simply asking you, or doing an automated lookup...

I posted this a while ago, I guess nobody saw it. But it documents how to allow multiplayer without a upnp firewall, and only forwarding one port. It works just fine for me, I have hosted 4 people using this setup. https://forums.realflight.com/showthread.php?t=12146

Ok, I have this all figured out. It's kind of a hack, but it does work: 1. Configure your firewall to port forward port 2300 tcp/udp from your public address to the internal nat'd address of your pc running realflight. Since there are a zillion firewalls I can't help you with this part, but...

The loopback adaptor is a driver that allows you to add a software network card. There really isn't a network interface but windows sees it as a nic so realflight uses the address bound to it. In realflight it says it detected both the inside and outside ip addresses. Now that I have this all...

Ok, I'm going to get my firewall to work without UPNP (because it's evil) but I'm still running into problems. Perhaps someone here can look over my config and see if it makes sense to them too. The firewall is linux using netfilter, here are the rules I'm using (watch the line wrap): # port...
