Try running tpm.msc and see if Windows has blacklisted your TPM due to known vulnerabilities If so then a BIOS update might fix it if you're using firmware TPM

Any ideas why they might want TPM as standard now? I get using it for BitLocker, but otherwise...?

Someone's made a tool that breaks down why exactly you can't run Win11 https://github.com/rcmaehl/WhyNotWin11/releases Can't vouch for the developer though

Microsoft is saying that those CPU lists we assumed only applied to OEMs are actually a hard min spec even for custom installs https://twitter.com/dispensa/status/1408580116393848839 https://twitter.com/dispensa/status/1408582402998341633 Those lists currently only include Intel 8th gen and Zen+ (not OG Zen) onwards IDGI, 8th gen was a rehash of 6th gen (Skylake) with MoAr CoReS, what can it do that 6th gen couldn't? repiv fucked around with this message at 02:57 on Jun 26, 2021 |

Perplx posted:Has microsoft even said why they need all this security stuff, besides making sure you are booting genuine windows are they adding drive encryption out of the box like apple? Cynical answer: they're aiming to make TPM ubiquitous so they can eventually start mandating it for DRM systems Widevine etc have different tiers of security and I could see them changing the highest one to require TPM on PC

They're just come full circle on that with DirectX, back in the DX9 days the runtime was a standalone thing bundled with the game that used it, then it started being integrated more deeply into Windows, then the DX people realised that being beholden to the Windows update cycle sucks actually and they're going back to bundling the runtime with the games https://devblogs.microsoft.com/directx/announcing-dx12agility/

I think it's just that 16GB modules were the maximum size you could get when they were validating that CPU, making the total limit 32GB at the time, but then 32GB modules came along and doubled the limit

Apparently Vanguard anti-cheat is strictly enforcing TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot when running on Windows 11 As suspected, while you can technically bypass those requirements to install Win11, the fact that 99% of installs will follow the requirements means software can start relying on them

Yeah it's a transitional thing, for now cheaters can just keep using Win10 if it makes their lives easier I wouldn't be surprised if Widevine follows suit and starts requiring a locked down Win11 install for L1 decoding eventually

corgski posted:At this point I think the biggest thing holding back Linux gaming is the fact that publishers still insist on using denuvo. Just about everything else I’ve tried in Proton has been playable but if the game has denuvo DRM, you have to find a crack or boot into windows to play it. I know anti-cheats are currently a brick wall for Proton but I thought DRM generally wasn't a problem? I checked the list of games with Denuvo that have yet to be cracked and a good chunk of them are Gold or Platinum https://www.protondb.com/app/1446650 https://www.protondb.com/app/1277400 https://www.protondb.com/app/1113560 https://www.protondb.com/app/447040 https://www.protondb.com/app/629820

Combat Pretzel posted:So why exactly is everyone so hot for Windows Defender, anyway? Today I downloaded an ostensible crack for Far Cry 6 to see whether Denuvo is loving with my system or not. The thing is throwing me tons of notifications about the executables and I keep telling it to remove it. It's doing gently caress all (i.e. it doesn't quarantine nor delete the files) except bothering me. And I haven't even ran the files. It's just Defender being stupid. Nevermind the UI is atrocious, anyway. Far Cry 6 hasn't been cracked yet, so weird behaviour aside Defender is probably correctly identifying something malicious masquerading as a crack

Windows has hooks that allow the UEFI to inject software into "clean" installs, by design I dunno how you disable that, it's usually only used on OEM systems

That's an improvement, IIRC when they introduced that mechanism in Windows 8 it just ran whatever the UEFI provided without asking the user for permission

Random timeouts when opening the app. The google assistant integration just stopped working with a google update.

CoolCab posted:at launch at least there was a fairly long list of games that broke when using an e core machine in 10 when it tried to share the load over uneven cores, iirc. no idea if it's still true That wasn't really an issue with the scheduler, moving threads between P cores and E cores is valid, but Denuvo DRM assumed CPUID would never change on the fly and Alder Lake core migration broke that assumption It's all been fixed at this point either with game updates or Microsoft hacking around it on their end, which they did for Win10 as well despite it using the old scheduler https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000088261/processors/intel-core-processors.html

Big Picture has been stagnant for a very long time (typical Valve development where they work hard on one feature for a while then get distracted by something else and abandon the previous thing) but at some point they're supposedly going to replace the desktop Big Picture mode with the new UI they developed for the Steam Deck

Riot did something similar with their Vanguard anti-cheat initially (blocklisting drivers known to have goatse sized kernel backdoors) and everyone just got mad at them for breaking their RGB software lol Microsoft baking that into Windows is a great move, manufacturers will have an incentive to actually get their poo poo together
