Startup Hang Patch is a mod for Resurrection: The Return of The Black Dragon, created by AlphaYellow..
Description:
This patch is intended to solve issues related to the game's engine initializing DirectDraw inside DLLMain(), which most notably causes the game to hang during startup with certain combinations of graphics hardware and drivers. Additionally, it is impossible to run the game through dgVoodoo2, because the Direct3D 11 runtime refuses to initialize from DLLMain() to prevent lockups.
The patch will solve above mentioned issues and possibly other problems that might be related to DirectDraw initialization inside DLLMain() by delaying actual initialization to the point when execution flow returns from LoadLibrary() API, therefore preventing any sort of lockup that would occur otherwise.
