Windows ACT ToolKit (Win2k,XP,8.1,10)

[MarkEAW]

I recently updated my ACT ToolKit Help Document, with re writes and additional text. It is much easier to read and I've improved the understanding better for Windows 8.1/10 use.

After that I did some tests with it to see if performance can be increased in Windows 10 in D3D mode for EAW. (natively, straight with no wrapper program).
I have found some Fixes that work to increase speed, but just a bit. ;)

This Help Document explains the Microsoft ACT Toolkit and some usage instructions plus my on going testing results.
If you like working with the Registry or want to work with Compatibility Toolkit program by testing different settings , This doc is for you! :)

Here' s the page from my web site: https://eaw.neocities.org/windows-act-toolkit.html

It can get complicated, but if you have questions, please ask them here, and I'll try to answer them. Thanks!

Bumping this. I edited the first post.

Currently ,  win10 native run of EAW gives 15fps with no wrappers or tweaks. All versions with no wrappers. Why? I don't know. 

According to my records I was getting 38fps (1024x768 Full Screen) a few years ago. Same everything. (About half of what I was getting on Win7).
This applies to all non wrapped versions of EAWv1.2 in Direct3D Mode. Including the un official builds UAWv1.28-1.60.

So IDK. But any how good luck with the ACT toolkit!! it truly helps and has use.

Anyone try this?

Just wondering. :) lol.

I recently seen the listing in the ACT tool also now includes the registry compatibility parameter that win10 sets.

I'll add to the act help doc when i can to include what that means for me and others use of it.
