On windows 8, as it IS pretty buggy in fullscreen, but, even in windowed mode in ZQuest I cant select or in anyway put down an item or the tile to select its placement without it crashing.
Windows 8 Item Crash
Try DXGL. (http://www.williamfeely.info/wiki/DXGL#Downloads) It is an implementation of DirectDraw that I am currently developing, and it currently runs Zelda Classic quite well.
DXGL works quite well on NVIDIA cards, and is partially tested on AMD and Intel HD Graphics 4000.
P.S. I tried ZQuest and it crashed in the same way. The other thread mentions the editor bug is fixed for 2.50.1
Very interesting, this.
Keep us updated. 😊
I believe there is already a bug report about this. It can be found right here:
