<p>AppVeyor builds run on VMs, which do not support DirectX Hardware Acceleration. There are couple of alternative options for you.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>You can connect your own physical machine to AppVeyor, e.g. AppVeyor will do all orchestration and UI, so this part will be hoisted, but builds will run on your machine. <a href="https://www.appveyor.com/docs/server/running-builds-as-local-process/">Here</a> are older instructions to do this. However right now we are re-doing this part with simpler approach and if you are interested, we can provide you with a simple script which will do everything for you, without need to follow the docs.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Another option is to install <a href="https://www.appveyor.com/on-premise/">AppVeyor Server</a> on your computer. In this everything will be under your control.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Ilya.</p></div>Ilya Finkelshteyn
