In HxD, you can press Ctrl+R for the replace menu. Replace all instances of CreateFile2 with CreateFileW and save. That's it, the file is patched and you can run Unreal Engine 5.2.

For Youtube there is this extension:The-10-Pen wrote: ↑30 Jan 2026, 00:21 I'd actually *PREFER* the old codec! At least on this one laptop.
I can do that in YouTube (ie, there are userscripts galore to force h264).
I don't think things like that exist to force *ALL* videos to *ALWAYS* be h264, regardless of website.

It's not the browser, it's your graphics card which is decoding in software mode hence the 100% CPU usage. As of today no browser has native support for HEVC because of licensing issues.

I found this page about HEVC support in browsers:The-10-Pen wrote: ↑04 Feb 2026, 17:30 Turns out, running EDGE BROWSER did the trick!
"Portable" v144. Same exact "chrome engine" that I was using in Chrome v144 and Chromium v144.

Maybe they are now using DRM ? Which uses a lot of CPU.

No, you can't. Because Youtube is not using H.265/HEVC at all but VP9, AV1 and H.264/AVC.The-10-Pen wrote: ↑04 Feb 2026, 22:24 I intentionally (for a few years now) force YouTube to only play h.264.
But I can just as easily force it to play h.265 instead.

I'm not saying the difference is night and day. But that also depends on the computer you are running.
The older the computer, the more adverse of a slowdown just to prevent something that literally NEVER HAPPENS "to the common user".

For me, with R3dfox 147.0.1-1, the transcript is working fine with some videos but not with some other ones. So I guess it's not about R3dfox but about Youtube ?See error : In the Transcript window (top right) see the loading wheel keeps spinning but nothing appears
