Why is PC gaming so shitty?
I spend as much time looking online for fixes as I am gaming. Will buying games instead of pirating change anything?

No, fuck off back to your kind, console poor.

I tried playing vice city.
>downloaded three different vice city games
>first worked perfectly fine but didn't have audio during cutscenes and radio
>second didn't start at all, don't remember the error
>third worked perfectly fine except crashed when I tried the wardrobe
>tried again and worked perfectly fine (didn't try the wardrobe), except it didn't allow me to save more than once, could only overwrite the first save, left it yesterday working perfectly
>tried it again today, but it doesn't load any save, it crashes after a few seconds.
>saves only work in compatibility mode with windows 98 but it looks like shit and it has shit frame rate
>with windows XP mode I can only start the game again from start, no loading, and it still has shit frame rate
Would Linux help, why is PC so shit?
Seems to work fine with games from 10 years ago but older or newer doesn't work at all.

I primarily emulate and play older pc games and it has never taken me more than a few minutes to get a game working properly, let alone new releases. Is your IQ in the low teens?

what about those rtx releases do they still have the same issue?
>>
>>724792635
i guess now i have to try different releases of the games i play and hope to find one that works well. i will also update my gpu and other parts but i doubt it will do anything since the games i am playing are old and my hardware is adeguate

>The engines are shit
>DX12 and Vulkan are a fucking shitfest
>Community servers are a dying breed
>Monetization up the ass
>Centralization around three storefronts

PC became more console-like basically, to everyone's detriment.
>>
>>724792874
nope portal1 stutters even without the need to load. and like i said my hardware is more than good for these games. it is just that pc gaming is rotten,maybe the lack of optimization
>>
>>724793313
except when i played with console i never had any of these issues. So the opposite is true.
