Black Dragon is MY Viewer, i decide which feature i want to add and which to remove, i share this Viewer to show the world that user base size is not important, i do rate quality by effort, thought and love put into the project, not some rough estimated numbers. I consider feature requests only if i you can name proper valid reasons i can agree on. It is my (unpaid) time i'm putting into this project, i'm not here to cater to every Joe's desires.

Black Dragon 64x - Update 4.1.1 "Speeding Dragon"

Just a small update to fix the biggest woes of the last update.


 A couple highights include: Mouselook guns/triggers working again, snapshot preview double click will not crash and break the Viewer anymore, fullbrights are once again subject to fog again, camera modes button works again, Poser no longer breaking when leaving Mouselook and some UI fixes and tooltip improvements.

For mouselook guns to work again you might have to reset your keybindings although it has been reported to work without.


As always keep the bugreports coming.

    1. Old versions are never kept around and AVX is currently not planned because it never netted any definitive performance gain.

  5. I updated to 4.1.1 and the frame rate limitation no longer works.
    If I remove the limit from the settings and then set it to 66fps again, the frame rate limitation is temporarily restored, but when I restart BD, it does not work again.
    Sorry to bother you, but please confirm.

  8. my rmb keeps moving my camera around, i can't right click objects anymore. how do i fix this?

    1. There is no fix, this has been a feature for years now. Clicking and holding right mouse will move the camera if you move the mouse outside a small area. Simply right click and don't move your mouse. If its still happening it might be an issue someone else had with their virtual machine in combination with the Mouse Warp option which should be enabled by default.

    2. I use BD precisely because the right mouse button enables me to look around... like a real mmo!

    2. I need help qith this as well its giving me the same error message and i dont see any information in the download page.

    3. Click "Download Black Dragon" on the right.
      Quote from there:

      Should you get an error message on startup and you use Windows 10 you'll need to head over to the Microsoft website and download the latest Visual C++ Redistributable 2013 and Visual C++ Redistributable 2015/2017/2019/2022 X64 package, the Viewer requires it, comes with its DLL files but Windows 10 with all the latest updates requires new ones.

  11. Every time I startup blackdragon its loads up to 75% then crashes me out.I know i can run blackdragon on my laptop before. This just recently started happening to me when i redownloaded it back any solutions?

    1. Reset your Depth of Field settings or disable it until you've logged in, you are crashing because the moment the world is being rendered you are greeted with screen-filling blur because your focus point isn't yet set up and your hardware cannot handle what happens when Depth of Field goes crazy.

    2. I did that and still every time I load up on 75% it kicked me out, I have Acer Nitro 5 laptop GeForce gtx gaming laptop. I Ran black dragon before and this problem just occured i dont know what else to do. Help me please. :(

    3. You might have set something else that has a similarly huge impact on performance (although i can't think of anything that would outright crash other than depth of field). The only other thing you can try is making a backup of your settings and resetting them completely.

    4. My computer like factory reset or the black dragon viewer settings?

    5. Every time i try to reset my black dragon settings its literally kicking me out of the viewer.

    6. The Viewer, clicking Reset in the Viewer crashes you? that sounds like something is horribly wrong with your PC/Configuration, make sure Defender is not blocking the Viewer, make sure its also whitelisted in other antivirus apps.

    7. I just wanted to say thank you for all your hard work, and responding to me for my concern with your viewer, everything working now I also was going to your community questions page to help out

  12. Hello, thank you for developing this!
    My question is, is it possible to always make certain objects invisible (Derender) in BD?
