Hi ijcro, I also installed the new release: 1.0.8.2 (un)DelphiX. I have the folowing code for simple TextOut :

Code:
dxDrawGame.Surface.Canvas.TextOut(100,250,'Well done!!! Your Time: ' + MSecToStr(MSec));
dxDrawGame.Surface.Canvas.TextOut(15,300,'Walk through the door to play the next level');
dxDrawGame.Surface.Canvas.Release;
It works on my work PC but on my LapTop, it flickers the text and then it's gone. The exact same game and textOut worked perfectly with your previous release.

Any suggestion?
