Is there such thing as ANGLE binaries? I expected to find some opengl32.dll replacement file that I can drop into the folder with my app (Godot) to get it working on Windows through DirectX.

If you're writing apps for the Windows Store (Windows 8.1 or Windows 10) then you can use the ANGLE NuGet package:

I don't know of any binaries available for download for desktop applications. I believe the recommended way is to copy the libGLESv2/libEGL binaries out of a Chrome installation.

No, it is not for the Windows Store. Just plain download
I tried to copy libglesv2.dll into opengl32.dll and place it in the folder with Godot .exe. It started to crash silently - can't even show console help from godot.

ANGLE is libEGL.dll and libGLESv2.dll (ES driver), not opengl32.dll (desktop driver). That might be why it's crashing.

We don't release any binaries at the moment, we haven't had a lot of demand for it. It's also not too hard to build ANGLE from source, see the instructions on the wiki: https://chromium.googlesource.com/angle/angle/+/master/doc/DevSetup.md. That's probably your best best, although copying DLLs from Chrome should work in a pinch.

Thanks. That explains it a bit. In the past I had a great experience with https://github.com/p3/regal which seem to provide both OpenGL and ES capabilities in one .dll

DLLs from Chrome are fine. Thanks.
