Hi, I've uploaded anothe update of my DDraw->WineD3D patch to http://stud4.tuwien.ac.at/~e0526822/. It fixes some refcounting issues and the D3D renderer of the Half-Life 1 Steam version works. It also takes the merged header patches into account ;)
I am quite busy the next time, so I won't be able to do a lot ddraw development. I'll continue to send patches, but only header changes, no added functionality. I'll keep myself up to date and anser feedback mails, but I don't think I've the time to do intensive development. I expect I can continue in April.
Have fun playing, Stefan
So I gave the latest version of Fallout1 a try with the patch, imageshack link to screenshot below :)

The game looks and works mostly correctly with only two issues:
1) The mouse lags, even though the game itself seems to be rendering pretty quickly. There was no mouse lag in the old ddraw implementation.
2) When selecting new game, load game, etc. from the main menu, the menu used to nicely fade out. This effect was really slow under the old implementation and was what motivated me to try this patch. Now the effect doesn't happen at all, it goes black and then immediately to the next screen. Nice for me but still a regression ;)
3) There's an error on exit. Output from running below. Let me know if there are any traces that would be useful to you.

I'm running the 8.23.7 (latest version) of the proprietary fglrx drivers on a Radeon 9700 Pro (native linux opengl apps like neverball and tuxracer work great) on the dapper drake (unstable) release of ubuntu.
I tried the patch against current cvs but it won't apply so I tested it with the CVS time from your site, March 9th 23:40.
