Hey. So after alot of tinkering I got the game to run properly without lag and anything BUT when i alt-click or try to quit the game, the game freezes and locks my mouse up until i ctrl-alt-delete and quit the game. Sometimes I get a windows window on the top left where I can move my with the arrow keys to quit application (alt+f4)

I use the WindeD3D ddraw and those files. Its the only files that allows me to play the game without lag. Removing/renaming ddraw causes alot of lag and stuttering in the game but fixes the issue. I tried most other ddraw fixes ive found but they all lag. Wined3d is the only one that seems to work for me preformance wise. But not being able to alt click or quit the game makes the game unplayable for me.

How do I fix this?

I fixed it.

Ez as pie!

Step 1. Download and install AutoHotKey
Step 2. Creat text document, paste "~LAlt Up:: return" without ""
Step 3. Change document from .txt to .ahk
Step 4. Run .ahk as admin.

This works. It disables the alt key from the menu function of windows. So you can now play arcanum in windowed mode and use the alt key. All alt key modifers still work except the window menu function. So alt+tab works, ctrl+alt+delete works etc.

To stop the scrip just turn of AutoHotKey from the program.

Hope this helps anyone else :)

This doesn't work for me. I still freeze. All lies!
