NotHereToPlayGames Posted October 4, 2023 Author Share Posted October 4, 2023 nocoin.dat is not needed but references to it likely need removed from chrome.dll before we remove the .dat, I'm not that far in yet libegl.dll and libglesv2.dll ARE NEEDED for some computers but do not seem to be needed for others, these will remain in my releases I remove the "snap" module from my releases I also remove the wallpaper content I've removed audiomute in the past and tabs still mute, this could be something that XP does not need but newer OSs do, will need to test I removed filename.txt and have seen no side effects upon its removal, will verify Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vulkan doesn't work and was never supported on XP, it's a form of a hard acceleration, which is not possible with XP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotHereToPlayGames Posted October 4, 2023 Author Share Posted October 4, 2023 D.Draker made that MISTAKE also. The files are not "only" for Vulkan! Anything higher than v13 build 2206 crashes on MY system when the so-called "Vulkan" files are removed. Other members have also presented issues when they are removed. They will stay. You are free to remove them on your end, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's something that is created automatically when you export filenames via cmd. You couldn't even have it at the first place! XP doesn't even support cmd filename export, I think. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotHereToPlayGames Posted October 4, 2023 Author Share Posted October 4, 2023 lol, all I knew "today" is that I don't have "filename.txt" so I kind of had to "assume" that since you do, I must have deleted it "with no side effects". I use Directory Opus for folder/filename export. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of these are Vulkan related! lolo, I'm shocked, I thought you were supposed to know that, no? Those two are ANGLE libraries: https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtbase/+/147271 Angle doesn't work and was never supported on XP, it's a form of a hard acceleration, which is not possible with XP. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotHereToPlayGames Posted October 4, 2023 Author Share Posted October 4, 2023 (edited) As I've stated, 360Chrome crashes without these dll's for me and for a few other members (first launch after each and every restart or resume from hibernate). You can delete them if you don't want them. But your debate will not convince me to remove them because again, as I have stated, 360Chrome crashes on MY COMPUTER without them. Debate for the sake of prolonged argument is not helping anyone. Edited October 4, 2023 by NotHereToPlayGames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you try to replace 'em with blanks? Perhaps the browser just wants them to be there (checking integrity). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotHereToPlayGames Posted October 4, 2023 Author Share Posted October 4, 2023 If I recall, WebGL also requires them. I cannot test from work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotHereToPlayGames Posted October 4, 2023 Author Share Posted October 4, 2023 @UCyborg - The .dll's will remain, regardless of what Cocodile has to say. You and I have already been over this, it has become pointless to discuss further. Again, and I shouldn't have to keep repeating myself, those that do not want the .dll's are free to remove them on THEIR system, *MY* system **NEEDS** them. And I know that I'm not the only one! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
