Remove unused MSS_auto_cleanup declaration and AIL_startup macro override from Core/GameEngineDevice/Include/MilesAudioDevice/mss/mss.h. This fixes LNK2019 unresolved external symbol _MSS_auto_cleanup when linking GeneralsX.exe and GeneralsXZH.exe on MSVC x86.
…ility Change _int64 to __int64 in WWProfile_Get_Ticks parameter in wwprofile.cpp, matching all class members (StartTime, ResetTime, Time, End) and callers. Also add a fallback _int64 typedef under __MINGW32__ in wwprofile.h. This resolves compiler error '_int64 was not declared in this scope' on MinGW GCC builds for Windows 64-bit.
Remove duplicate static inline declarations of strlcpy and strlcat in Download.cpp and FTP.cpp under __MINGW32__ that conflict with declarations provided by Utility/stringex.h.
…atibility Do not define __debugbreak as a function-like macro on _WIN32. On Windows, MSVC and MinGW-w64 provide __debugbreak() natively via <intrin.h>, and defining it as a zero-argument macro conflicts with function declarations like extern void __cdecl __debugbreak(void); in SDL3/SDL_assert.h.
- Remove invalid direct <ws2ipdef.h> include from NetworkMesh.h, preventing undefined SCOPE_ID and SOCKET_ADDRESS errors in MinGW-w64 and aligning with NGMP networking header guidelines. - Move <filesystem> include under SYSTEM INCLUDES prior to USER INCLUDES in UserPreferences.cpp so standard library templates in <chrono> and <codecvt> are not polluted by GameSpy min/max macros.
Define socklen_t as int when _WIN32 is defined without restricting to _MSC_VER, resolving undefined socklen_t compilation errors in UDP::Read, GetInputBuffer, and GetOutputBuffer under MinGW-w64 GCC.
…3 are enabled In 64-bit Windows SDL3 builds (windows64-deploy), MilesAudioManager.cpp failed to compile under MinGW GCC due to 32-bit pointer-to-integer casts on HSAMPLE and HSTREAM types. Furthermore, OpenAL and SDL3/BinkVideoPlayerStub supersede Miles and Bink respectively for modern builds. Guard MilesAudioManager under 'if(NOT SAGE_USE_OPENAL AND NOT SAGE_USE_MINIAUDIO)' and BinkVideoPlayer under 'if(NOT SAGE_USE_SDL3)' in Core/GameEngineDevice/CMakeLists.txt, preserving legacy MSVC x86 multimedia compilation while excluding them from modern 64-bit builds.
…ol resolution On Windows (PE/COFF), DLLs cannot have unresolved external symbols at link time. Patches/SagePatch/CMakeLists.txt linked SDL3::SDL3 on UNIX but lacked a WIN32 branch, causing undefined reference errors to SDL windowing and display functions (such as SDL_GetWindowFromID, SDL_SetWindowMouseGrab, SDL_SetWindowPosition) when linking libsage_patch.dll under MinGW. Add an elseif(WIN32) branch linking SDL3::SDL3 to sage_patch to ensure all symbols resolve during DLL linking.

…0000139 Include libssl-3-x64.dll and libcrypto-3-x64.dll from MinGW MSYS2 in core runtime DLLs across deploy scripts to avoid missing OpenSSL QUIC entrypoints imported by libcurl-4 and ngtcp2. Also remove unused vcpkg libcurl.dll and stray debug DLLs, and add OpenSSL runtime DLLs to CI bundle validation.
MinGW-w64 GeneralsX console logging writes status diagnostics to stderr, leaving standard output empty during headless replay execution. Checking stdout exclusively caused completed replays to fail evaluation with 'missing completed Game Time marker'. Update replay-tests-windows.yml to search for completion markers across combined console streams ($output), and refine error regex filtering.
…lism Remove Cache CMake FetchContent step which spent ~6 minutes decompressing >40,000 files on NTFS while causing stale build trees. Add pch_defines and include_file_ctime to CCACHE_SLOPPINESS so ccache properly caches GCC compilations utilizing precompiled headers. Guard cmake/ccache.cmake to avoid overwriting external CCACHE_SLOPPINESS. Normalize CCACHE_BASEDIR and CCACHE_DIR to forward slashes for MinGW. Bump ccache key prefix to ccache-windows-sdl3-v2- for a clean cache baseline. Uncap Ninja parallelism in build scripts and enable verbose ccache logging.

Review summary (CodeRabbit emulation, chill profile)
Note
The real CodeRabbit run on this PR was skipped ("Too many files": 335 changed files vs. a limit of 100). This is a manual emulation based on .coderabbit.yaml (path instructions, platform isolation, determinism, retail compatibility, CMake rules). references/**, assets/** and WIKI_PAGES/** were skipped per path_filters/scope.
Walkthrough — Enables the SDL3 + DXVK + OpenAL stack on Windows x64 (MinGW): SDL3Main HWND bridge, SDL3 mouse/keyboard wiring, MinGW compat shims, Win64 exception-handler variants, FFmpeg/SDL3/DXVK CMake plumbing, deploy scripts and Windows replay CI.

Description
Implements the modern SDL3 windowing and input backend on Windows (
windows64-deploypreset), brings self-contained runtime DLL packaging, and integrates native Windows headless deterministic replay testing into CI, achieving full architectural parity across Linux, macOS, and Windows while strictly preserving retail VC6 / 32-bit compatibility.Context & Motivation
Previously, modern windowing and input (SDL3 + DXVK + OpenAL) were active on Linux and macOS, whereas Windows builds remained tethered to legacy Win32/DirectInput stubs or VC6 32-bit builds. This PR brings native SDL3 windowing, mouse, keyboard, and self-contained packaging to Windows 64-bit builds while isolating modern code behind
if(SAGE_USE_SDL3).Upstream TheSuperHackers PR TheSuperHackers#2639 was reviewed as an informative reference and adapted to fit GeneralsX's cross-platform conventions.
