Unless they change CPU architectures.

And even then it's no guarantee. Plenty of games needed support from the likes of GoG to run. Hell, I couldn't even play Ex Machina because I had a HDR monitor and the game detected that and completely broke. Disabling HDR in Windows did nothing.

well. there's already winlator (basically box86 / wine-wrapper for android).
Not as polished and far as Proton is, but the bones are there.

A CPU architecture change wouldn't be a deathblow.

Ex Machina the movie or the 1984 "game"? That's before Mario was even a thing.

Fucking auto correct...

It was Nex Machina.

Yes, I know. And I already can't play it due to changes in hardware.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

That doesn't make any sense. I can play multiple games from 2017 with no problem at all. I play games from 2012 and up just fine too. That's something the devs messed up for that specific game, or it's a problem with your PC.

I have a hard time believing HDR wasn't around in 2017 in some capacity. This sounds like a big that existed on launch, yeah?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I don't know about HDR, but there was a ton of great games released in 2017.

Maybe don't try to use HDR if your PC/monitor/TV can't do it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

My TV from 2017 was HDR, so it was. But HDR monitors would have been pretty rare, so the bug probably wouldn't have shown up in any great numbers.

I don't even run Windows in HDR mode (because it looks awful), but it picks it up anyway and completely fucks the graphics up.
