Technically it was just only recently that ms no longer has mainstream support for 32bit oses, as they only dropped that with windows 11.

Makes me think that might be the reason for valve choosing now to do this.

The ltt vid said that valve were not going to produce the index hardware anymore. So probably not. But they were open to someone else taking on the index if they wanted.

For the record I always thought the 3dfx glide render looked the best, d3d and open gl were kinda a bit blurry. I think these days it shows it up even more as not being a d3d first engine. I think Deus ex probably suffered from the same fortune.

Yea I would think anyone who has a workaround is keeping it quiet, otherwise it’ll get fixed before then. Then it would be harder to break it for gta.
