# Troubleshooting
|

|
|
|

While Devilution should produce a binary close to the original (compatible with Windows 95/NT), it may cause issues on newer systems. It has been reported to frequently crash on some setups, although for many it appears to be running flawless otherwise. Windows 7, Linux-WINE, and Windows 10 have all reported success.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that newer compilers may need to be tweaked to properly produce an executable. Currently this is being worked on to provide multiple Makefiles for a variety of systems. To ensure the best results, either MinGW or Visual Studio 2003/older should be used for the time being.

## Compilations with Different Toolchains
|
||
|
|
Compiling with different compilers (Visual C++, MinGW, Etc) will lead lead to different
|
||
|
|
results with how the executable interacts with the operating system, and may lead to either
|
||
|
|
weird crashes or different types of problems either during startup or runtime.

For example, for fearedbliss, on his Windows 10 x64 machine where he compiled Devilution
|
||
|
|
with MSYS2/MinGW32, he was getting the following messages:

For the first issue, it is annoying but doesn't seem to stop you from playing the game.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The second issue simply requires you to use the DirectDraw patch (ddraw.dll). Once the
|
||
|
|
dll is placed in your Diablo directory, and all of it's dependencies are installed
|
||
|
|
(DirectX 9 Runtime, and VC++ 2010 x86 Redistributable), it will work.
