# MultiCAD

**MultiCAD** is a universal graphics DLL replacement for **Sudden Strike**, **Sudden Strike Forever**, and related games.
It supports **any custom screen resolution** from 640x480 up to 3440x1600  (note: higher resolutions may be a bit laggy) and includes various bug fixes across different game versions.

> 💡 Note: `Audio Mixer Zero-Volume Fix` restores the game volume in the audio mixer to full if it was set to zero. Applies to **all versions**.

## Installation

1. Download the latest precompiled `cadMulti.dll` file from the [Releases](../../releases/latest) page.
2. Place `cadMulti.dll` into the folder containing the original `cad*.dll` files (typically the game directory).
3. Open `sudtest.ini` and set **at least one** `SSDraw` entry to `cadMulti.dll`. Example:
> ```ini
> [Game]
> SSDraw1=cad640.dll
> SSDraw2=cad1024.dll
> SSDraw3=cadMulti.dll
> ```
4. Launch the game.

> 💡 Note: If the game fails to launch or closes immediately with no error, it usually means the required Microsoft Visual C++ runtime is missing. You have two options to fix this:
> 1. Install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable: [vc_redist.x86.exe](https://aka.ms/vc14/vc_redist.x86.exe).
> 2. Alternatively, use [cadMulti_mt.dll](../../releases/latest), which works without installing any additional runtime (slightly larger than cadMulti.dll)

## Configuration

### Resolution Setup

By default, the game will launch in 1920x1080.
To use a custom resolution, add a `Resolution` line **anywhere after** the `[Game]` header in `sudtest.ini`:
> ```ini
> [Game]
> Resolution=1600x900
> SSDraw1=cad640.dll
> SSDraw2=cad1024.dll
> SSDraw3=cadMulti.dll
> ```
Restart the game to apply the change.
