Gonna be honest the only older game I had trouble on windows with was Dragon Age Origins. No matter what I did, it crashed out every time
Dragon age isβ¦. Old?
Origins was released in β09. So was windows 7.
2009 was almost 15 years ago
You take that back
Just a blink of the eye...
It is closer to the release of the first Doom than it is to today.
Uhm. Doom was originally released in 1993. 30 years ago. Dragon age Origins was released in 2009. 14 years ago.
So...
Not quite. got a couple years before that's true.
FWIW, the first game I beat was the OG legend of zelda. I was 7, it was my dad's game and i wasn't supposed to be playing it for some reason. I got caught when my dad was strugling on the puzzles in the water temple and I gave some helpful advice.... ("We won't tell mom about this. now where did you say I go?")
the first PC game I got heavily into was Age of Empires, though, a lot of my friends played starcraft, and insisted it was better than AoE; so I played one game with them. (They were all so very patronizing.... so I let them be patronizing and then turned my ally to hostile and carpet-nuked the entire map.) (yeah. I went back to AoE after that, lol.)
my bad. I had 1996 in my memory, but that was the first Quake.
incidentally, I noticed that the doom comics were issued in '96 when I was double checking my facts. It's maybe annoying that I'm old enough to remember sneaking a copy of it
I have seen multiple streamers have problems with it on Windows, but for me it works completely fine on Linux with
PROTON_FORCE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE=1(even mods work).There is a large address aware (LAA) patch for windows too that fixed it for one streamer, but you have to download a patched executable.
