Why?


As for Bethesda's code - it also fails (horribly) to scale well with modern processors, something that you can see even in their latest titles.

Installation

  • D3D9 loses the graphics device if it loses the screen ownership (Alt-Tab, Sleep, etc.). To recover, it needs to either have a copy of textures in RAM, or be able to reconstruct the memory from ground up.
    - Fallout New Vegas, like most D3D9 games, use the first method. Thus by disabling this behavior, after Alt-Tabbing, game is in a limbo where it doesn't know what to do. + Fallout: New Vegas, like most D3D9 games, use the first method. Thus by disabling this behavior, after Alt-Tabbing, game is in a limbo where it doesn't know what to do.
    DXVK fixes this by simply being in place of D3D9, while Windowed mode guarantees the game will never own the screen in the first place.
