Please fill in any games in your library that:

- Black screen at load with or w/o audio
- Freeze or enter unusably low framerates
- Have very strange game breaking behaviors
- ???

Have you tried other versions of the NVIDIA driver?

I feel confident a moment's research will prove invaluable to disqualifying any ideas of this nature. Suffice to say everyone is pointing at M$ with one hand and swatting away approaches on their backend with the other.

W11 24H2 on ARC B580 (everything mentioned works without issues on Windows 10, have not tested 23H2)
i can't launch the Riftbreaker GPU Benchmark with my B580.
i have random massive FPS drops for ~10 seconds and then it goes back to normal in almost every game except a few.
Black Ops 6: unplayable on Arc, not even launching on Pascal (1080 Ti), flawless on any AMD GPU (even a Vega 64)
CapframeX says it's MW2, probably because it's copy paste crap for several years in a row now

W11 Enterprise, build #26100.2605, RX 6700 XT, all driver versions (including the Preview ones) since Q1'23 tested, the outcome is the same.

Complete failures:

• Zombie Smashers X refuses to launch and throws this error:

No matter what I did to it the outcome is either this error or no reaction whatsoever.

• FIFA 09 (a.k.a. FIFA Soccer 09 in the North America) briefly shows up in the task manager, then shuts down without any visible stuff going on. Tested all No-DVDs as well (not only have I bought this game's physical copy when it was first released, they also shut their servers down so it's unplayable with the original .exe), DXVK, compatibility modes, unofficial patches, yadda yadda. Also tried a different display just for the memes. Nothing altered this behaviour.

Shakies:

• Max Payne 2 refused to ignite its launcher and therefore, the core game as well since I couldn't even hit the "Play" button. Fixed via downloading some modified No-DVD (I bought a physical copy ages ago so truck off with your anti-piracy). Now works perfectly fine.

• Postal 2 exhibits intermittent crashes. These usually happen after 2+ hrs pauseless sessions. Happens in like 1 session outta 5.

All aforementioned games caused me zero headache on W10. ZSX and Postal 2 are troublesome on all W11 versions, not only 24H2. Max Payne 2 worked fine on 22H2, never tested on 23H2. Never tested FIFA 09 on W11 older than 24H2.

Surprisingly okay experience:

• Worms: Armageddon. Patched to 3.8.1 of course.

• StarCraft Brood War.

• Grand Theft Auto III.

• Safrosoft RoX.

• FlatOut 2.

The first one looks like "dependency hell" or Windows 11 stealth-blocked it.

How do I make sure it's the case? Is this checkable at all?

I don't know, but I wonder, especially if it's an old game.

Game Not Launching (Windows 11, Nvidia Graphics) | TechPowerUp Forums <-- Windows 11 in general, not specifically 24H2, but it does not launch on 24H2.

I also had trouble with all three of the "Assassin's Creed Chronicles" titles. For a brief amount of time, "Aliens: Colonial Marines" was broken, but I managed to fix it this morning. ARMA 2 had launching issues, I think it might have been BattleEye, but not sure. These titles all begin with "A" for a reason: I started at the top of my Steam library, and gave up and rolled the build back to Windows 10 before I got to "B".

Looks like Halo Custom Edition 1.0.10 should be OK. (DirectX 9)

The last patch was in 2014, back in the Windows 8.1 days, but the game soldiers on and runs very well on Windows 11.

Space Marine 1 crashes right away, not even an image is displayed, just a black screen and back to the desktop.
