Hello folks,

still present.

Since the workaround of using some 'DDemu DirectDraw Emulator' has been
mentioned a few times...

Download: http://www.gsc-game.com/index.php?t=downloads&ss=299&s=patch

(extract 'ddraw.dll', put it into game folder, set override 'native, builtin').

I had a very brief look at this. The ddraw "emulator" uses traditional method
of hooking 'DirectDrawCreate', injecting its own interface proxy when calling
'DirectDrawCreateEx' (Wine impl).
I stopped at this point since there are other, more interesting things to do.

Since the author 'Serguei I. Ivantsov' (GSC Game World) seems to have his name
embedded in version resource why not contacting him, asking about details
instead of having other people time wasted on reversing the thing.
