I take issue with the clickbait title and am ready to perform an “Umm… actually”. Morrowind featured controller support for years via the Xbox. It didn’t just get it. Heck, it still doesn’t officially support controllers on PC. I wouldn’t even call OpenMW devs “modders”.
My stupid gripe aside, for those who don’t know, you can pop in an OG Morrowind Xbox disk into any generation of Xbox console and it’ll play. Series X will even boost the resolution up to nearly 4K (1920p).
I’m betting the Bluetooth ID given by the controller advertises that it is a speaker, and Windows is assuming a newly connected speaker is where the person wants to output audio. I mean, why else would you connect a speaker? /s
Fun fact: The PS5 controller also includes a microphone. My circle didn’t know a hot mic was listening in on everything until we noticed background audio in one of our captures.
Solid?? I can accept Fun… but solid is not a word I would use. The game was falling apart on it’s debut. I had to go dig up one of my first youtube favorites:
I don’t know if I’m a weird one for this, but I donate an uneven amount without a comment just so I can go back on the VOD and see if I can find exactly when it got added in.
One year it got added in exactly when a final boss powered up. Felt like I helped the bad guy.
I still remember guides saying to go into BIOS and disable Hyper-Threading or any additional cores if you wanted to play specific mid-2000 games. Then when that wasn’t going well, the guides had ways to select core affinity.
I specifically remember Unreal Tournament 3 that would crash with a “Negative Delta Time” error since the secondary thread could process a frame before the first thread and cause time to flow backwards. The more things change, the more they stay the same. haha
It’s a shame that both AMD and Nvidia chose to abandon the sub-$250 market. I think I’ve mentioned before that I searched and searched for an affordable video card, only to land on stuff that was generations behind. So I ended up with an A580. Only complaint I have so far is that LXDE absolutely hated the card and wouldn’t even boot in VESA compatible mode. But that’s more a complaint on Debian’s glacial pace than Intel.
I lament it, but I understand it. Last year’s reports showed that GoG was barely staying afloat. Their rival shows Linux is only 3% of current market, so GoG probably doesn’t want to spread themselves any thinner until they get some surplus cash to test the waters with.
Thank goodness for Heroic launcher.
