I tried to install Animorphs Action Game from an old CD I found from the 90s and it didn't launch. This meme is a LIAR!

Windows: nope, too old. Find a version that's compatible with your current installation.

Trust me, I tried playing some old CD games from my dad's shed on Windows 10 for such a long time, it wouldn't even let me do that without having to rely on a virtual machine. Most of those games were in French and German, btw.

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

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.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility.
