That doesn't make any sense at all! What a windows patch has to do with a video card bios which is when upgraded the upgrade is done outside windows anyway?

Please ignore this post, the patch is great, and update your video bios exactly after please :) I fixed an annoying TV-OUT problem on my 6600GT by a bios upgrade.

Anyone got the latest version? Do I need to apply the registry edit or not and will this work on a Intel Pentium D Dual Core CPU?

Yer i wanna know the registry too, last time i installed this caused my pc to lock up completley and just break down completley with the registry edit.

I installed it and it seems to have worked. Programs seem to open slightly faster and the load is now spread evenly across both cores. :) The lag I had when browsing folders, files in my computer is literally gone. My computer just seems more responsive.

Is the registry edit still required?

Also, I can't find the hotfix in add/remove programs, how do I uninstall it in future?

Um.....my ntoskrnl is 5.1.2600.2845 (xpsp.060210-1526)

The one in this patch is 5.1.2600.2765 (xpsp.050928-1517)

using this patch does nothing and does not replace it.

Is the later version on my ntoskrnl supplied with this patch already?

Well are we seeing builds with a better compiler now?

I installed this on a single core opteron 144 and things are certainly more responsive, seems like the code runs better (like itunes and other modern exes...). Which is great cause speedy is nicer to use

I don't know if that'll translate into a measurable fps increase or anything like that, but hey, it boots differently :)

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update by Taras Buria Today, Playground Games released a big Forza Horizon 6 update with a long list of fixes, patches, and balancing tweaks that the studio promised earlier. Version 375.327 is now available on Steam, Microsoft Store, and Xbox, offering users improvements for AI, audio, design, performance, road discovery, upgrades, visuals, online play, and more. Some of the most notable changes in the Series 2 update include rebalanced drivatars, particularly their difficulty and race start behavior. As such, the game should be more balanced on higher difficulty levels, and AI cars should not shoot out when the race starts as if they have rocket boosters. Speaking of difficulty, developers nerfed Drag Tires physics for a more expected and realistic behavior. They are no longer the go-to option for record-breaking times in road racing, and all leaderboard entries with drag tires will be removed. Completionists will also be glad to get a new feature that lets you see road discovery percentage in each region, which should make discovering all roads easier while keeping it quite challenging and interesting (I spent quite a long time finding the last road). Festival Playlist is also getting some much-needed fixes, including patches for bugs that allowed completing Seasonal Jobs ahead of time or where weekly challenges would not unlock for some players. Developers will retroactively give reward points to all who could not complete all challenges due to these bugs. Other changes include changes to Horizon Play progression so that it is easier to reach Level 100, audio improvements on lower-spec devices, fixes for visual glitches, including pixelated smoke, and more. Developers also addressed the currently non-working Eliminator, an online mode gamers used to farm credits with a Hummer EV exploit. Playground Games plans to re-enable it soon. As a gesture of goodwill, players will get a free McLaren Sabre. Those who used the exploit will not be banned, but developers plan to roll back credits to a maximum of 10M for all who farmed credits using the exploit. You can find the complete changelog for the latest Forza Horizon 6 update here.
