“Just run it in compatibility mode bro, it’s fine bro!!!”
My computer screen suddenly turns 640x480, flickers 5 times, then crashes because -checks notes- my graphics drivers are too new.
Yes this has actually happened to me. No I can’t remember with what game (I wanna say Deadly Premonition).
While that is the compatibility mode windows, it was my experience with updated Linux on a new laptop.
There are more settings to run old software other than just compatibility mode.
Although compatibility mode works immediately in >90% of the cases
