Fix hang/slow-down on unit selection

If you happen to suffer from major slow-downs when some particular type of unit is selected (e.g. an overlord), download cnc-ddraw, place it in the game folder and set a DLL override on it.

Run the game once and it will generate ddraw.ini in the game folder. You can edit this configuration file to your preference. Example:

  ; restore mouse 
  mhack=false 
  ; smooth a graphics 
  filter=linear 
  renderer=opengl 
  ; run in fullscreen 
  windowed=false

Some Wine versions (e.g. 1.7.46 -- 1.7.47) hang completely with their native ddraw. CNC-ddraw will fix this issue as well.
