some games are fucking shitting wrong colors randomly everywhere (Age of Empires 2, Cossacks: European Wars) when they worked fucking fine in XP with directx 8

but windows 7 (and vista, i've googled the age of empires thing, there's about 10 billion fucking people with the same problem and no fix) and its fucking shit directx 9 gives me red grass and purple fucking water

how do i force directx 8? duck told me to use rivatuner but I have no fucking clue how to.

New games work, the old games worked on XP. In fact, my specs are better than the recommended AoE specs.

Doesn't Windows 7 actually let you run shit in an XP shell or something?  Try that?

Yeah, 7 is supposed to have some amazing backasswards compatability mode.  Either way I think when I get my next comp, I'm gonna dual bbot 7 and XP.

<+Karrde> welp, time to learn some basic patterning skills
<@Negate> 12121212121212121212
<@Negate> there is a simple pattern
<+Karrde> I changed my mind.  Gonna cosplay as a gay demon from hell and get negate raped instead XD
<+Caffeine`work> Karrde: Gay demon? Why would you need to cosplay just go as yourself
<+FlyingMongoose> Caffeine`work: Karrde would actually have to tone it down some.

Compatibility mode, jesus christ 7 should auto uninstall.

Make it run in Windows XP mode.

Nevermind, I just installed XP. I'll wait a bit until geniuses make fixes for these things.
