Most of my crashes have been loading into the game which is annoying but tolerable, but occasionally during play and last night I had a reset device failure in Howling Stones and that's almost always going to be a RIP when playing my enchanter.

Hmm what is the reset device failure you are referring to? Is it the pop up error message when you switch between window mode and full screen mode?

No, I was crashing during play and frequently near certain spots like the braziers outside Felwithe. And I always play in windowed mode. Dgvoodoo fixed this issue for me completely. I'm not even crashing switching characters anymore so the game is working great for me now.

My buttons are "off" by like an half inch, everything i want to select with my cursor, it is selecting about a half inch further up the screen. The only file youve changed at all is adding the d3d9.dll file renamed to overwrite the wineq2 file in its folder?
