All of the functionality of 1.6.2 is now embedded in the DGDK.NET version which will soon be complete. But while I was testing, and moving some of the samples over to VB.NET, a problem occurred, at which point I thought I'd screwed up.
It turns out that this is infact a problem in the DGDK library. The dbGhostObjectOn function worked ok in 1.1.1, but in this version, it seems to misbehave. You can even see this problem yourself by running the Camera sample under the sample browser.

This image shows the problem:
This is an image of what the demo SHOULD look like:
Clearly, the dbGhostObjectOn function isn't working in the new version, or, if it is working, it's behaving differently.
Is this something that is being looked at, or is it something that just so happens to be specific to my video card? (GeForce FX5200).
Also, I am using the April 2005 version of DX 9. I downgraded the version to solve a linkage problem. I'll re-install an updated version to see if this fixes the problem.
