The DirectX Control Panel—commonly known as DXCpl—is a powerful yet under-the-radar tool that many gamers have turned to for solutions to DirectX compatibility issues. Originally created by Microsoft as part of its software development kit (SDK) for testing Direct3D debug settings, it has since been widely adopted by the gaming community as a practical workaround for detection problems in titles like PES 2017, FIFA Online 4, and PUBG PC Lite.

You do not need to install the entire SDK (which is 500MB+). You only need the dxcpl.exe file.

A common point of confusion for many users is that there might be multiple versions of dxcpl available. If a specific version doesn't work for you, it's worth trying a different one, as some users have reported varying results from different releases of the tool.

If you are clinging to PES 2017 because FIFA (now EA FC) has become an ultimate team slot machine, you do not have to suffer with a broken game.

, which allows the CPU to handle some graphics processing tasks when the GPU lacks native support for required DirectX 11 features.

PES 2017 online (the few remaining community servers) does not typically detect dxcpl as a cheat because it alters DirectX, not memory values. However, . For offline play (Master League, Become a Legend), it’s harmless.

The dxcpl 64 bit tool is a hidden gem for keeping legacy PC games like PES 2017 alive on modern hardware. By forcing a stable DirectX feature level and disabling problematic threading, you can eliminate black screens, crashes, and stuttering that official patches never addressed.

If downloaded in a compressed format (.zip or .rar), extract the dxcpl.exe file directly to your desktop for easy access. Step 2: Add PES 2017 to the DXCPL Scope Right-click on dxcpl.exe and select .

. This allows the CPU to assist in rendering if the GPU fails to meet the hardware requirements (note: this may significantly impact performance). Debug Layer

Navigate to your main PES 2017 installation folder (commonly found under C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Pro Evolution Soccer 2017 or your custom installation path). Select the executable file and click Open .

Where it was filmed 'L'ultimo Paradiso'

The director Rocco Ricciardulli, from Bernalda, shot his second film, L’ultimo Paradiso between October and December 2019, several dozen kilometres from his childhood home in the Murgia countryside on the border of the Apulia and Basilicata regions. The beautiful, albeit dry and arid landscape frames a story inspired by real-life events relating to the gangmaster scourge of Italy’s martyred lands. It is set in the late 1950’s, an era when certain ancestral practices of aristocratic landowners, archaic professions and a rigid division of work, owners and farmhands, oppressors and oppressed still exist and the economic boom is still far away, in time and space.

The borgo of Gravina in Puglia, where time seems to stand still, is perched at a height of 400m on a limestone deposit part of the fossa bradanica in the heart of the Parco nazionale dell’Alta Murgia. The film immortalizes the town’s alleyways, ancient residences and evocative aqueduct bridging the Gravina river. The surrounding wild nature, including olive trees, Mediterranean maquis and hectares of farm land, provides the typical colours and light of these latitudes. Just outside the residential centre, on the slopes of the Botromagno hill, which gives its name to the largest archaeological area in Apulia, is the Parco naturalistico di Capotenda, whose nature is so pristine and untouched that it provided a perfect natural backdrop for a late 1950s setting.

The alternative to oppression is departure: a choice made by Antonio whom we first meet in Trieste at the foot of the fountain of the Four Continents whose Baroque appearance decorates the majestic piazza Unità d’Italia.
