I posted this in an existing Ghostcar thread too, but since it doesn't seem to be active anymore I thought it best to start a new one.

The problem is that I can't get Ghostcar to work with LFS (not even /ghost help), so I set debugOutput=1 and used DebugView from Sysinternals to view the debug output. This is what it says:

I'm running LFS S2 0.5U; is Ghostcar incompatible with that version? Or could anything else be wrong?

I'm running LFS S2 0.5U; is Ghostcar incompatible with that version? Or could anything else be wrong?

Yes, I put it in the same dir as LFS.exe. I think the message "Load DLL C:\WINDOWS\system32\d3d8.dll" means that the mod is loading the real (i.e. non-proxy) dll at that time.
