Okay, referring to the thread about dgVoodoo.
@MogulMogul mentioned DXWnd which he uses to make the game run and @If_And_WhileIf_And_While came up and said it's not allowed. Out of the blue.
Why is a compatiblity tool randomly banned and that ban is not stated anywhere on the leaderboards? It feels like wandering through a mine field where each tiny thing that lets you play the game can also invalidate the run.
And again, what are the reasons to ban DXWnd specifically while dgVoodoo, which also messes with the game to make it work on modern systems, is fine? Am I okay with tracking the framerate with GeForce Experience or is it going to invalidate my runs as well because duh? Is Windows 7 okay or do I have to upgrade to 10?
May I ask for a nice and clean list of banned softwares and reasons for their bans instead of random answers to threads?
Thank you, everyone.

I would love to know about DXWND too since I been using it for the last 7 months without it ever being mention in the rules and now after 4 weeks of 6+hrs a day of grinding its suddenly not allowed and now its going to mean nothing and have lost all motivation to even run till this gets cleared up.

If we can have a pinned post with every banned software it would be nice.

Guys, I tought that you knew it. but I will explain because it's banned.
DxWnd is banned for the following reasons:

- PC version can be executed in windowed without 3rd party software
- DxWnd can fucked up times. This kind of things occur even with RE2. where if you run RE2 with FMVs enabled... timing messed up.

@VendettavicVendettavic There is no need to write a list of banned software.
Because the only 3rd party software allowed for DC2 speedrunning is DgVoodoo.

This because RE2 boards are ruled by IGT. But it's totally sure that affects also RTA.

A proof of it affecting RTA is mandatory. As far as I can see, @xtra2Ezxtra2Ez 's game runs as fast as mine, even though he's using DXWnd. Also, no we didn't know, and we couldn't know what is not written anywhere. A list of what is okay or not is still important, in my opinion.

I legit can't do this though my game crashes every time changing to sp2/F8 or going into the settings itself 🙁

Yeah I had the same issues xtra. D3Dwindower might be an option it’s pretty bare-bones in terms of background features
