    BitDefender is the best anti-virus protection software that actually does something decent from my experience. I haven't used BitDefender for a long time, so my experience isn't really relevant. Kaspersky I don't trust with its country of origin, a bit risky in my opinion. Using Windows Defender and MalwareBytes on Windows 10 in 2020 is all that is really needed if you don't visit sketchy websites and install from sketchy sites like softonic. The only concerns are exploits like SMB (EternalBlue) that affect the underlying operating system, which can't always be prevented/patched easily.

    Need for Speed Most Wanted, Need for Speed World and Need for Speed Pro Street are all affected by stuttering (very bad frame-pacing). Need for Speed Carbon might be affected as well. I wonder if they all have the exact same cause... Running the game in Windowed does fix it for Pro Street, Most Wanted doesn't have an option with the Widescreen patch See here: https://github.com/ThirteenAG/WidescreenFixesPack/issues/719

    Virus gets in-game for me without any tweaking, I had to install it in a 32-bit OS and then copy the game across (didn't bother with converting/wrapping the installer to 64-bit). The speed is way too fast though like you found out, but that is fixable using DxWnd to limit the framerate. 1. Download and extract the latest version of DxWnd: https://sourceforge.net/projects/dxwnd/ 2. Right-click in the middle of DxWnd's main window and select "Add". Browse to and select the VIRUS.exe file. Name the profile VIRUS or whatever you chose. 3. Right-click the VIRUS profile that you just created and select "Modify" to edit it. Go to the "Main" tab, deselect "Run in a window". 4. Go to the "Timing" tab and enable "Limit". Set the limit to 33 msec to run the game at 30 FPS. Increase the millisecond delay to decrease the frame rate further if needed. Limiting the framerate this way, makes it scalable to all types of CPU, instead of being relative with CPU percentage usage. Calculate the msec by dividing 1000 by the FPS.

    A relatively rare/obscure game called LIVE WIRE! had a PC port, but the PC release is near non-existent physically (from what I know). I have a physical copy of the game, scanned the jewel case art, imaged the discs and uploaded it to Archive.org here: https://archive.org/details/LiveWire_201903

    The SilentPatch fixes the graphics and improves performance dramatically. You don't need to use PIXWin or 1 CPU settings if you have installed the SilentPatch.
  18. mrpenguinb
    Silent has fixed the majority of issues that occur across different system configurations only just recently. You can get the SilentPatch for Scarface on the PCGamingWiki page here: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Scarface:_The_World_Is_Yours#SilentPatch

    Are there any differences in terms of functionality between the x86 and x64 versions of the driver? Do some games require specifically one version of the driver?

    Try installing the K-Lite Codec Pack if you haven't already. Also, what error do you get, is it the same as what Mc_Muffin had before? If not, then specify the error message.

    Controller drivers for HDD's and SSD's can be the culprit sometimes with slow read/write speeds. Installing multiple anti-virus software is not a good idea, it will probably be slowing your boot times down quite significantly. However, the A400 is not a good SSD, Kingston have also been known to cheap out on parts in their products. I would recommend getting a different SSD made by a more trustworthy brand, or at least pay a little more for one.

    TrackMania Sunrise can run on Windows 7 x64 Professional if the game is updated and cracked. I haven't got the game to work without cracking the game 🙁 Any old version of StarForce (not sure what versions specifically) are blocked on Windows 10 v1809 and later. Again, I don't know what version of Windows specifically blocks old StarForce versions (haven't tested it). Windows is prevented from booting at all unless driver enforcement or other security measures are disabled. I am not sure if you can even work around it. TrackMania, TrackMania Original, TrackMania Nations and TrackMania United are all affected.
