Confirmed that there is something in the P99 version of dsetup.dll that is either unstable or perhaps purposefully shutting out DirectX hooks.

I understand if it is on purpose, but I am just curious what other types of DirectX related programs it would be purposefully shutting out. There have been other dsetup.dll anomalies mentioned here (i.e. making P99 incompatible with some operating systems and older DirectX versions even though Titanium it's self supports them) and I am just curious what the purpose is of a customized DirectX file is here. What changes/improvements have been made to it exactly?

3D Ripper DX crashes every time I try to launch EQ with the P99-specific one is installed, but if I revert to a vanilla version of the file (such as the one from dll-files.com) it works just fine.

I'm using 3D Ripper DX to capture models like these Karana village buildings to use in my Norrath map fan art project. To capture the geometry, you have to be literally physically standing in front of it in the game. I used to be able to port around on my P99 druid and gather assets pretty easily.

With the vanilla version, P99 gives me the "missing spell file" error but am able to get into the EZ Server and run 3D Ripper DX just fine.

So do I really have to hoof around Norrath as a level 1 warrior using this fugly bloke on the EZ Server!?
