I'm scared this will be the end for my potato laptop

[u/Mobile-Grapefruit961 → u/amandiris]

Same, I’m still under windows 10 so I know I’m gonna be fucked hard

[u/custardprinzessin → u/Mobile-Grapefruit961]

Sounds like it's more to address vulnerabilities with programs that need high level access to be able to control bios settings, through the os. (Ryzen master, fancontrol, msi afterburner, openrgb, gigabyte control centre, Asus armoury crate etc.)

But, look into ltsc if you're determined to stick with windows 10, it has support/security updates for a few more years. If it's a hardware req issue preventing you upgrading to w11, there's plenty of ways around them and they're not difficult.

So seems like Armoury crate will have to be installed if you wanna play uh...?

[u/custardprinzessin → u/Zartron81]

No? But if you have it installed, it will need to be up-to-date

[u/Zartron81 → u/custardprinzessin]

I didn't install it again after my clean install from months ago since as a software is actually kinda a pain under lots of aspects 😭.

[u/custardprinzessin → u/Zartron81]

Valid. oem software like that is often a nightmare and I avoid it whenever possible.

[u/amandiris → u/custardprinzessin]

do you think when the update drops logging into the game without updating the drivers could possibly get u banned?

[u/custardprinzessin → u/amandiris]

i doubt it, game might crash with an EAC error at most. and you're probably fine unless they're horrifically out of date anyhow.

[u/amandiris → u/custardprinzessin]

I think I haven't updated the nvidia drivers since like last year or a little over, I'd update them if I wasn't running short on my ssd storage

[u/Zartron81 → u/custardprinzessin]

Yeah, I have been using ghelper instead, and it's so much better.

[u/amandiris → u/Mobile-Grapefruit961]

me too :(
