Look, all I'm saying is unless the judge in your custody lolsuit is the oracle vs uber guy, he's never gonna believe you were "only playing a character" trying to fit in with a wacky subculture, and you'll only see your kids at your funeral.

Wacky is such a beautiful word! And this is my free recommendation to you :)

Starmaker: A $600 Dell PC is a perfectly good gaming machine. It may not be powerful, but it's sufficiently modern. The fake problem in the thread and with the cheap bastard from your post is not PC power and wallet girth but outdated tech.

I'm learning programming and teaching programming. We have a guest lecture by a guy who independently invented binary search. He's alive and well. IIRC it was used in some sort of dictionary software for the Apple ][. ffs, Donald Knuth is still alive. Most techological developments we're taking for granted are shockingly recent, AND they continue. WinXP isn't just "old", it's bad. It's twice as old now as 3.1 was then. In 2017, 10 is the best Windows, just be sure to do a clean reinstall.

paladin181: Well, we agree at least on that people get pissed that their outdated tech isn't the norm. "It worked, why change from it?" Then they'll complain "Well, it works fine except this that and the other, stop programming things to use those functions and it works fine!!"

It doesn't work fine because those bits are far more efficient than the old ways, or there wasn't a way to implement the feature on the old system. My argument about the $600 PC is still valid; people simply refuse to invest the money. Generally it's the same people who bought the $600 computer 8 years ago and don't want to pony up for another machine.

On the FO3 topic: This is rather weird how people have game problems with Quad Core CPUs. I've played the game on my i5-2400 for literally years without issue. Only thing I "edited" was that I removed the stupid GFWL since the first day I installed the game (have Boxed GOTY Edition).

Weird indeed but since it stopped crashing twice every three hours or so I was happy. Did you play in Wine or Windows? Someone above said this problem was not present in Windows XP.

Given how many people have had problems running Fallout # on a computer with more then two cores, and how the ini file fix (that tells the game to ignore more then two cores) fixes the problem, I would say that NOT having the problem on a tri or quad core computer is unusual.
Of course if you are running it in XP,it does not matter how many cores you have since XP does not recognize more then two.
XP was a great OP,no doubt, but in the end it just got old. One major cause of it's demise was that it could not handle 64 bit equipment and programs very well. THe 64 bit version of XP was a flop, it never worked very well.

Darvond: Windows XP came out 15 years ago. Support ended three years ago. I think by this point, you'd want to move on by now. Stop trying to support the 15 year old carcass of an OS. It'd be like if I give a program OS X Cheetah support or tried to make a Linux application use the KDE 1 styling guidelines.
These comments are not productive in the slightest.
They're parroted all over the web and your lack of original thought saddens me.
Think for yourself, lest you become a mere automaton of the Swiss "psyence"-based technocracy.

XP is solid and doesn't have a tenth of the evil that the modern MS+Apple+Google+Canonical mafia are gang-banging you fools with.
XP x86 and x64 are slick, comparable to - and useful alongside - similar streamlined Linux distros - obviously not those related to the cabal's Canonical - including Tails!
Even Win7's bundled evil is accessible and manageable from within standard tools, where it can be disabled without knock-on effects of broken enforced dependencies.
XP is safe.
It is when/how I run it.
I know such statements cause a "bot" backlash, and I also know those that do claim otherwise are not worthy of explanation.
And I don't give a damn how many PAID experts disagree.
Whores are PAID experts too, you know?
All you need police in any OS is what's moving through the internet pipes and elevated privileges relating to execution.

"15 years"... TRIED, TESTED AND TRUE.
It's actually more than 16 years now, and there is nothing modern OSes do that I need over what it does.

Debian KDE is a worthy Linux companion to WinXP Pro x86 and x64 and Win7 Ultimate x64.
The problem for Linux is that the mafia's nVIDIA has such a market share and has been tasked to prevent a mass migration to SAFE Linux/Unix OSes away from their controllers' global corporate military technocracy.
That's why good drivers don't exist for Linux.
That's the only reason.
Because Linux can be made safe against their bloody prying eyes - cos it's open-f'ing-source too.
Which - hey-ho! - is why Canonical behaves the way it does with closed-off bits and dodgy commercial dealings... considering it's supposed to be representing Linux compared to what most view Linux as representing.
Because they're not representing Linux.
But don't believe me, believe a man who has BEEN TO SPACE ;-)

ps. I'm not even currently using XP x86 (as my boxes are being rebuilt due to trickle-down upgrades throughout) though I need XP Mode in Win 7 in order to use my photo ribbon printer.

darthspudius: XP is dead, get over it. Nuff said.
And Win10 is DEATH.

ps.
What you need to understand about me is that I have the most blackest of black-black and deep dark acidic humour due to the fact that we live in the most blackest of black-black and deep dark acidic [occult!] times right now, and I don't know how we're going to pull through. So I laugh as though I went insane a long time ago, because it is truly insane. Don't ever ask yourself "who is responsible?" - not in the role of a philosopher, anyhoo hoo-hoo!!!

What's next? Begging for Apple II gs support?
It seems XP support for new releases is a lost cause...I only hope GOG will not update their installers in a way that I will not be able to install the game under XP without any tricks...
There has just been a global Cyber assault which crippled huge organisations such as the UK NHS and Russian governmental systems.

It exploited a weakness in the long defunct XP OS. As much as you like the OS (and it was a good OS), this should be a wake up call to move on, because there are plenty of holes still left.

Now I understand why the NHS is stuck with XP, too many of its bespoke systems can not be moved to later OSes without a huge cost. I don't know if the cost of current damage is less or greater than the upgrade cost.

But for everyone else, XP is dead and no company can guarantee support for it.
