This sounds like a driver issue or something if all desktops are breaking for you. Have you tried reporting it anywhere?
You can update nearly everything with winget right now

I mean, anybody could verify it by spending a few hours each on the respective games... But yes, any empirical data would be nice. For example, a study on the amount of blatant hackers found on lobbies joined in comparable ranks. Anyway, this isn't exactly misinformation to anybody who has played both games at any decent rank. It's unproved but immediately discernible information. Take that how you will, i don't really intend to argue about this here. This kind of pointless argument is the worst thing about Lemmy.
