It's really the only way to fix anything in fucking Windows.

Anyone still not in the GNU ("Linux") master race gets what they deserve dealing with Microsoft's hacked together pile of shit spyware OS.

This is what happens when you become a P C u c k. Console is the only option but you fat cunts won't listen.

Should have started a new thread with a very similar title & copy-pasted text just to fuck with the fag and MAYBE get a response (lol good luck, even the original thread was a long shot).

>i bought another console and that fixed the problem for me

>pirate game
>go to forums for tech support & expect anyone to give you the time of day
Nigga you serious?

Why would you bother building a gayman computer, then hobble it with a nogaems OS?
The only people lower than you are the absolute subhumans that install OSX on their $2,000 machine.

>running cracked as an admin
lol

Most of the time the game isn't even pirated when they say that, or at least the issue isn't pirate-specific
Plus, that shit happens outside of the official game forums too

Fuck you Mr 'Tech Support' for a company guy you are a fucking faggot and steam is shit, thats why I fucking get games off GoG now.

>i don't know anything about program access permissions or anything outside what is on my desktop

>implying PC itself is the problem and not shit devs
But yeah, stick to consoles, brainlets.

I'm a PC only player but this is a terrible argument, man
They're just gonna say "well then why play on PC if the devs are shit?"

:(

>just update ur drivers bro

Typing of the Dead: Overkill

Not that user but console ports usually run like shit on pc.
PC only games generally run really well if they have time to make the fucking thing and dont throw it out the door to meet a deadline.

>here's how I did it (with pictures)
>golden frog

Should have just binned your PC or killed yourself. Both are garbage anyway.

>Not that user but console ports usually run like shit on pc.

no they don't. that was ten years ago

console ports aren't even "ports" anymore the new consoles are x86 its braindead work to port games this generation

Fuck off Rob

Yeah but the games ON the PC ARE the problem so why fuvking bother. This is literally a non issue on Console. I have never owned a game that is so broken i cannot play it.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Hope your pc fucking explodes with you sticking your dick in it.

Spoiler alert it never works

The hundreds of games I have in Steam and many other games I have outside of Steam, plus emulation, and wine for Windows games says you're a fucking moron.

>BAWWW I CAN'T PLAY SOME MODERN CLUSTERFUCK OF A "GAME" ON MY GNU PC
Good.

You'll never have any of these problems on a console.

No instead if there's a problem you have to wait for days until the devs to patch it instead.

no, you're still inferior, at least we can solve our problems instead of waiting for shipping the entire console out.

Just dual boot if you're going to be that fucking gay.

It's like you WANT me to fuck up your board with meaningless posts not adding to any topic.

>game on console runs with shit framerate

Shit like this makes me glad small forums are dying.
Your hundred thousand posts and faggy badges are worthless now, cunt.

I can't go back to it now. Sup Forums's anonymity has spoiled me.

>s-stop!

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Has this ever solved a problem in the history of problems?

it fixed Diablo 2 for me once, and then I started playing it on a newer computer that just werked™

aahahahahahahahaha what a fag

>Ammount of posts is equal to the value of your opinion
CANT MAKE THIS SHIT UP

I think it solved one problem of mine. That was it though.
Worst thing though is having fixes for a different version of the game, NA and EU differences in games are cancer. I can't even play Silent Hunter 3. Those fags over at subsim don't have many steam compatible mod packs either. They even had you pay for mods

Blizzard recently released a new patch for D2 that allows it to run on newer computers without compatibility mode without shitting the bed.

Most recent problem this fixed was for Nioh. Setting compatibility to Windows 7 on Windows 7 stopped a crash I was getting.

>montreal quebec

I was still using the last patch of LoD, it was a pirate copy on a flash drive

Anyone use NationStates?
I remember there were these whales, absolute fucking loser 'regulars' who posted there 24/7 with hundreds of thousands of posts between them. Usually they were the most insufferable of cunts, I hated each and every last one of them and have no idea why I stuck around for years.

I had this happen to me when I signed up for a browser game called "Drakor"

And do you think ONE of the high level faggots said: "yeah, that's a bit fucked up" or: "Yes it needs improvement"? FUCKING TOP KEK they did. All i got was:
>"Many games are much worse"
>(I asked for example and the guy fucking said Kings quest 1, a game from fucking 83)
>"that's just opinion"
>"it's fine stop complaining"
>"I don't see you doing any better"
And got accused of fucking trolling and "hating" with people doing the whole "Oh I just blocked him" and then later the: "who are you talking too?" when other people still talked about it.

Fucking cancer of the highest order.

>lying in the internet
why would anyone do that?

Dynasty Warriors 8 would only run on my computer in Windows 98 mode, but in the context of the game's problems, the fix was basically a fancy "disable mutlicore" button.

I had this same problem. Apparently all these people just needed to wait for the download to finish.

Works a lot of the time for old LucasArts games

Run as admin is actually necessarry with old programs if you install them in Program Files.

Fucking XCOM 2.

Fairly often actually. I'd say it often comes across as not helpful because a lot of other issues can cause similar symptoms. So when you try it, it doesn't help.
But I do remember playing some older games that got fixed by running in compability mode.

wew

I had the opposite.
nier automata was totally fucked for me until I stopped running it as administrator then it worked. I fucking hate windows sometimes.

>that filename
relatable

it fixed a porn game not saving the settings and not showing the mouse cursor on my pirated version.
'twas a good fap

I had an issue with Fallout NV: that meant whenever I moved my character they moved twice as much as I wanted because, and I shit you not: My PC at the time was a shitty fucking pre-build that I had put in a IR receiver of a very particular model that kept interfering with my wireless fucking keyboard because the pre-build COULD have come with an IR receiver so they'd just left the drivers for it installed which created a conflict specifically just for my particular model of receiver.

And ONE FUCKER had exactly the same problem and solved it. To this day I still occasionally toast DakotaFanny. Thank you,

>Post needing help on problem with crashes
>LOL I DUNNO
>REINSTALL OS!

People who post this kind of shit on the fucking help sections of forums should be banned. It's cunts blatantly wanting an excuse to bump up their post count to wank over.

>all these fellas having problems with their computers and games
lmao, works fine on my machine ;)

You must not play a lot of old games.

>It's a "mods conflicting and you're going to spend more time working out how to make them work than actually playing the game once its working" episode

maybe get a better pc? lmao
