(In fact, some post-WinXP PCs have been able to run Oni without this patch for the simple reason that their GPU does not return a very large list of extensions.) The "WinXP fix" [https://web.archive.org/web/20060417164153/http://oni.bungie.org/help/winxp.html was distributed by Bungie.org] in the form of a patched version of Oni.exe. Ian was rather zealous in trying to eliminate possible buffer overflows such as the one which was causing the crash: the patches after the first two below are unnecessary and additionally disable any writing to debugger.txt, startup.txt, and the dev console. I have filled in more information below about those patches to serve as documentation of Ian's work, so keep in mind that geyser's narration on other parts of the page does not take this newer information into account. -Iritscen]'' | ||
