CnC net can’t change renderer for YR

[Killerbote]

Everything else in the options tab can be changed, but whenever I try changing the renderer in YR, it says

“Save settings failed! Error message: access to path (directory) ||\ddraw.dll is denied”

everything else works fine, and I’ve given it admin permissions and moved outside of Programs 86 folder

anyone seen or know how to fix this? I’ve googled around and could only find one similar problem from 2016; which ended up fixing itself after the OP played around with settings.

I am on windows 10

In other cases the problem was the antivirus and cncnet needs to be added to the trusted applications list.
