Hey y'all,
So the last few months have been bliss(currently on "Recover Imperial Probe" which is missions further than I made it back in the 90's). Then 2 days ago, I installed Jeremy Ansel's
xwa_ddraw_d3d11.1.3.29.zip. Everything runs, but no imagery is being sent to my Meta pro. All I get is the steam vr grid. So the question becomes... can I back out of that install without losing my savegame history? If I were to uninstall and reinstall your work and just leave Alliance alone, would I lose my progression history? Sincerely, quietly wigging...

Jeremy's ddraw is for basic effects and not VR.
You need to be using the one from blue max. You can download from this link:

You can save your progress by backing up your PLT files which I recommend doing regularily.
