In the light of recent events in the World , and especially in Europe , I have an announcement to make. Looks like things don't go well and I'm going to suspend/limit my activity on MSFN , as I may be joining the volunteers. I served in the Army and this is nothing new to me . Of course this would be last resort only (due to my age), but still can take several russkies with me to Hell. https://liveuamap.com/en/2022/27-february-denmark-says-will-let-volunteers-join-foreign

BREAKING: Belarus says constitutional referendum passes, revoking its non-nuclear status and paving the way for Russian nuclear weapons in the country Source BNONews: https://twitter.com/BNONews/status/1498084587611865090

Well, look at the recent broadcast on their main state "channel 1". Kiselev (their main host/propaganda leader, "the talking head of Kremlin") says : "In total, our submarines are capable of launching more than half a thousand nuclear warheads, which is guaranteed to destroy the countries of the United States and NATO in addition." Now look at the screengrab , there's "Prikaz" , which means "order" in English . Why would they include this "prikaz" word ? Means the order has been given already ?

Jesus Christ , a cruise missile just fired at Ukraine from Belarus . People , do you realise how serious this is ? Cruise missiles flying over Europe !!! Another Russia-Belarus war crime. Now come think of Russian occupied Königsberg and the amount of russian missililes there , including nuclear rockets.

This development is moving fast, says the spokesperson. "We will continue to work on this with the Member States." 10. Big Tech Microsoft, IBM, Mastercard is represented in the campaign for a global digital ID system. That same lobby is active with appeals for a Corona system, tech-scientist Elizabeth Renieris wrote in What’s really at stake with vaccine passports. What’s Really at Stake with Vaccine Passports What may appear to be temporary public health-related measures could risk embedding permanent digital identity infrastructure that threatens public life. https://www.cigionline.org/articles/whats-really-stake-vaccine-passports/ 11. With an eID, citizens can prove their ID at government offices, online, banks & their biometric data derived from facial recognition systems, iris scans (shape, colour, pattern, and texture of the eyes) and fingerprints.

A surveillance state is now emerging, in which everything will be stored in order to steer people in various ways, both politically and commercially. Behind the campaign for digital data collection, there is ‘a surveillance agenda which we must oppose. 19.

It was founded long before the pandemic by Gavi, & other founding fathers include the philanthropic Rockefeller Foundation, the consultancy company Accenture, and tech giant Microsoft. 22. Eighteen months later, more than 125 companies, institutions and government organisations have joined forces to form the Good Health Pass Collaborative, which aims to create a global standard for the corona pass. ID2020 steers this group. 23. The Covid Pass is already leading to a mission creep: in other words, the wider introduction of a digital ID. We encourage everyone to ask, what does it mean to digitise ID & what is a model citizen within a digital ID system? How will his citizen profile data be used?

A Social Credit System Arrives in Canada https://bariweiss.substack.com/p/a-social-credit-system-arrives-in

I'm Draker . Please be respectful when you address MSFN members. Call them by their (nick)names . It's not hard to remember. British accent is actually a good thing . I mean proper British accent , not fake.

Why ? Have something to hide ? Yes , support forum and I provided with fully working instructions, yet you started to imply the're somewhat bad . Why ? "...roots updater goes up to late 2016: Let's Encrypt sites might be broken still (i.e. about half the web) due to the DST Root X3 expiring in September 2021" That's simply not true.

I'm terribly sorry if asking a person to read again means hostility for you. What "drama" are you talking about ? Yep , we both updated the certs that way , but no drama had happened during the update. xD . Who are you , lol ?

Thanks , not impressed , sorry . I have an old PC , ancient I'd say. Yet not impressed. Not much to choose from. 1. Forza Horizon 5 (forcefully req. win 10 , so don't know) 2. Halo Infinite (not a fan of Halo) 3. Far Cry 6 (forcefully req. win 10 , so don't know). 4. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla (runs fine on my Titan , absolutely fine , top FPS with TRUE DX12). I'm not impressed with this game either . Yet I have to admit it's one of the few DX12 games. 5. Control (low demands actually ! runs 120fps on my mediocre PC with Titan using DX11) 6. Microsoft Flight Simulator (low demands actually ! GT770 again!) 7. Cyberpunk 2077 (BUGGY as Hell , out of question) 8. Grand Theft Auto V (isn't it from 2014 ? ,lol GT8800, lol) 9. Metro Exodus (isn't this a 2018 DX11 game ?! OMG GT1050) Runs 1200Fps on my mediocre PC) 10. Red Dead Redemption 2 (DX11 , discussed earlier , fake DX12). Anyway , thanks again , it's always a pleasure to talk with you.

This whole thing is over-rated . One would need to start a flashing utility and remove write protections first. Besides , not lots of free sapce for "mallware" in that chip. http://www.datasheetcafe.com/gd25q20-datasheet-pdf/

Duh !? That's why I wrote he needs to insert the new certs he downloads directly from MS. Did you read what I wrote ? Well , try again (reading out loud with a thick British accent might help). This method proved to be fully working by many MSFN members.

For manual Root Certificate Update "rootsupd.exe" download http://i430vx.net/files/wsusstuff/NT5x/rootsupd.exe, unzip to a folder (eg with WinRAR), in "rootsupd.inf" entry in the string VERSION should "40,0,2195,0" loud and in VER "040" , In the next step, "http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3/static/trustedr/en/authroots.sst" "http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3/static/trustedr/en/delroots.sst" "http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3/static/trustedr/en/roots.sst" "http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3/static/trustedr/en/updroots.sst" download and paste the unzipped folder and replace older files.

First of all , thank you for the detailed explanations ! Second , what's the point of that file if the game downgrades itself to 11_0 anyways and runs on Windows 7 natively ?! From what I see during the last 10-15 years , there's no need to upgrade , no point in newer OS too. We all could be perfectly fine with Vista running these "modern" games on Vista's DirectX11 and 11 years old videocards ... why did I even buy DX_12.1 Titan ?!

In Dependency walker they will just show in red , they can't just magically disappear from an executable and then reappear on a "supported system". Did a further research. The intros you're were talking about are handled by MFPLAT.DLL (shown in red on my screen because of a missing dep. on Vista) . The funniest thing , if I were to use this game , I'd just skip all intros anyways . But if someone wants them , it could be fixed by using the win32's MFPLAT fix . So ! This game should run perfectly fine on Vista x64 with or even without the fix. Not sure about XP (due to the lack of DX9Ex).
