    Software d3d9 client not working on widnows 11

    Question Making Valid Sketchpad object in Lua?

    Software Orbiter not working on laptop

    Could you click the box to make it crash and check if D3D9ClientLog.html is created. If yes then could you post it. It should have a little more details than the main log. It's located in /Modules/D3D9Client/ You could also check if these DLLs are found from your computer.

    News Changes to the SpaceX BFR rocket.
