Since the virtual primary surface has to be read before it can be transferred to the actual primary surface, it's best to use system memory offscreen surfaces whenever possible. Unfortunately, some programs request hardware acceleration functions that are only available for video surfaces. This flag forces the virtual primary surface to be created in system memory, sacrificing performance for compatibility.</span></p>

This discrepancy is caused when DxWnd creates virtual surfaces with varying pitch values that may not correspond to the original values when creating the surface on a different memory type (system memory and video memory). When this is happening to a hooked program, some elements may appear diagonally skewed. Note how the left border of the text widget in the figure below goes down and to the right rather than straight down, distorting the contained text as well. This flag resolves the issue by copying the graphic scan lines to the proper memory offset.</span></p>

This flag makes programs ignore hardware overlay capability so that you can move or stretch the window with expected results. The most notable example of this issue is in Moto Racer 2.</span></p>
