Thanks Duke
By the way, for everyone reading this, I made this project: https://github.com/Roti-Poulet/DirectX12On7 , and its probably the best DirectX12 patch for Windows 7, supporting programs without D3D12On7, and even some new titles:
-Resident Evil Village (8)
-Unreal Engine 4 (I got SunTemple to work, but I don't really know about real UE4 games)

Games using CreateDXGIFactory2 are also supported!

Compatibility Mods :: Dead Island 2 on Windows 8.1 and probably Windows 7 too (but I have not tested) :: Author the_r3dacted

2026-06-29T06:19:01+00:00

So when I was looking for games to test https://github.com/Roti-Poulet/DirectX12On7 with, I came found Dead Island 2, and went to give it a try. What surprised me was that it has a native DirectX 11 mode, and it kinda just works on 8.1 at least, albeit with one small modification. You will need to hex edit or CFF Explorer edit DeadIsland-Win64-Shipping.exe, and replace SetThreadDescription with SetLastError. After that, make a shortcut of the .exe, and right click the shortcut, and add ` -d3d11` to the end of the target, Apply, OK, and launch the game with the shortcut, and it just works. If using Steam or some other client that supports launch options, you might want to add -d3d11 there instead.

The game runs fairly well, I can do 1440p Medium with a GTX 1080 and I stay above 60 FPS for the most part. However it stutters a lot. I'm not sure if that's a UE5 thing, a DX11 thing, or a Windows pre-10 thing with this game.

I completely forgot about this thread, but I've been working on this. However I don't think I will be able to go much past 60 since they switched exclusively to Stylo for 61+. Although it gives a good opportunity to make a UXP and Mypal68 competitor.

Welp, the grass isn't greener on the other side. After some experimenting, mostly back on Pale Moon, with maybe slightly more (Th)Chromium at work due to crap like Teams. Using two browsers is a bit challenging with limited RAM, so at times, I have to suck it up and exit Pale Moon.

Firefox-based browsers just seem to have other bugs. Huge RAM waster with slightly more tabs, makes page file explode and then takes a good while before all that process spam manages to exit, video playback sometimes just craps out...heck, on another family's member laptop with some Intel Celeron, Firefox still struggles with videos immensely. I finally taught the owner to use Pale Moon for those sites.

And the font rendering, it's just awful, I need proper tuned ClearType rendered fonts that current Windows versions can provide, none of that crappy Skia that is being forced down everyone's throat. No amount of CSS hacking gets it right with Skia, I feel like the hole is being drilled into my brain.

On the topic of Skia/Cairo in Firefox, when I start making changes here, one of them will be making Cairo work properly and probably be the default.

https://github.com/Eclipse-Community/eXPlorer

Currently trying to trace and solve issue where Cairo results in tab text shifting between proper and blurry in the post-Quantum releases.

Also the rendering mode messes with the text rendering too. D3D11 messes with it somehow and makes it look kinda bad. Compare PM with D3D11 accel to basic accel on https://eclipse.cx, and https://fontgammatest.replit.app/

Saving grace though is that Lun3r/NM with D3D9 has no such font issues, and looks just as good as basic.

Cairo lacks the touch I get with ClearType tuner, the fonts are again thinner. And yeah, I notice the effect on menu bar fonts with with D3D11 + Cairo, it reminds me of the problem in some games that alternate pixel center setting in ATI drivers was solving.

Years ago, I did something similar with Drakan, added an option to alter its pixel shifting logic so fonts wouldn't get messed up with forced MSAA. The original code must have been solving similar problem with fonts on Voodoo 3D accelerator cards, at least judging by results in an emulator.

Either way, with UXP browsers, D3D11 + D2D (defaults) is the only combination that does it the way I/my eyes like it.

But, Pale Moon project itself is underfunded and lacks manpower to keep up with demands modern web, the stability took a noticeable nosedive in recent months.

Looks like it's kind of borked though, because I've tried with a quite old graphics card and about:support shows hardware acceleration decoding available for H.264 + VP9 + AV1.
VP9 I'm not sure, or maybe its very first generation. But AV1, no way, not a single chance at all!

EDIT: after more investigation not even VP9 with this 12 years old Nvidia card.

... Less than a year ago, when r3dfox was in the lower 140s, Firefox langpacks were fully compatible with it, leaving only the "redfox configurations" part of "about:preferences" untranslated (remaining in en-US); then, the "LibreWolf-ification" of r3dfox started gradually to take place, and that part was a conscious/intentional change; LibreWolf itself has become incompatible with upstream Firefox, to the point that LW now has to supply its own langpacks for i18n purposes...

And r3dfox now is in a state where, due to "multiple changes" (many originating from the LW fork), it has also become incompatible with Fx langpacks (and, I assume, also with LW langpacks) ; GH issues about this breakage have already been reported:

https://github.com/Eclipse-Community/r3dfox/issues/168

https://github.com/Eclipse-Community/r3dfox/issues/172

https://github.com/Eclipse-Community/r3dfox/issues/178

So, with much respect to the r3dfox author, the Fx langpacks breakage, for me, came as a consequence of certain concrete intentions, i.e. it's not a random accident ...

Another thing that kind of irks me is the frequent comparison to the MyPal68 browser; they are different projects, aren't they? With different target groups, probably (MyPal68 mainly appealing to XP-die-hards); I appreciate that their authors may share code/ideas/etc., as is the case with the e3k Chinese dev, but why should it be acceptable for a r3dfox user that MyPal68 is also broken when it comes to Fx langpacks? FWIW, the Russian community of MyPal68 users has contributed this; I don't think we'll see something like that for r3dfox and, in any case, I don't speak Russian myself ...

Yes, I totally agree and this is a real problem for many people.
LibreWolf bits when it's about security, and that doesn't mean anonymity, are ok but that shouldn't break such basic features like language packs.

First things first, many thanks for this fork

Has anybody else had problems with logging in twitch.tv ?
When I try, it says my browser is not a supported one.
This happened since some months ago, and it's still happening today,
with the latest version of r3dfox I have, ie Plasmafox 153.0a1 (2026-06-09) (64-bit).
I tried with a user-agent override with

- Mozilla/5.0 (%OS_SLICE%; rv:149.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/149.0
but it didn't work.
Any ideas?
Should I wait for future release?

Edit: I tried R3dfox 150.0.3 64-bit and it worked !
Maybe because it didn't have umatrix ( I added it later ) ? Who knows...

Hi and welcome to the forum

No problem with Twitch.tv for me with both R3dfox v151.0.2 and Plasmafox v153.0a1.
I'm using: "general.useragent.override" = "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:151.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/151.0"

I don't like to use the %OS_SLICE% thing because Firefox v151 is not supposed to run on Windows 7 or 8. Some sites may detect that.

But the version number has to be changed on each new version of Firefox because some sites don't like browsers which are more than one or two versions older than the current release version.
Current release of Firefox is v151 but v152 is to be released on next tuesday the 16th of June.

Like Firefox, there is no LibreWolf anymore for Windows 7 & 8. There have been some builds around for older OSes but it looks like no one is doing it on a regular basis.
To me R3dfox is in between Firefox and LibreWolf and I like it like that. Some kind of 'light' FF+LW.

Exactly ; and if you're frequenting the GitHub Issue Tracker, you'll see that many of the recently reported issues are due to imported "features" from LW; and with respect to our moderator, Duke, I've never liked "hybrid" solutions ...

One of my older laptops still has Vista SP2 32-bit; I had migrated from 360EEv13 to KafanMiniBrowser to Super***m and then to r3dfox (because I prefer Firefox to Chromium), also using in parallel the Fx-for-Win7 fork (since the time it brought support to Vista); that last fork has ceased supporting Vista recently , and on r3dfox I've stayed on one of the 140esr versions prior to the LW "imports"; GitHub still works fine here, but when it ultimately breaks (when Fx-140esr becomes EoL), I'm not sure what will follow for me; back to one of the Chromium forks?

I may have tried r3dfox once or twice, but, didn't see anything of significant value to me, so don't really follow it. And since I don't torture myself with Windows versions from over a decade ago, that aspect has zero value to me as well. I just saw LibreWolf's influence on another project as well and wanted to point out there are more of us who don't look favourably at it.

It's too late now for a v151.0.4 but I believe many of us are waiting for a v152.

Any chance ?
Does Plasmafox v153.0a1 include Firefox v152 security patches ?

idk it's a kinda early 153 build. Waiting on e3k patches to do later, but they might not be coming for a little while. I'll try getting 152 out at some point though.

Personally, I'm only interested in ESR releases. I don't need new features, I need a good, fast, functional browser.

In fact I think nightly/alpha builds are pretty useless for the end user.

I beg to differ; as a Mozilla tester for many years (v21.0a1 to v53.0a1, when Vista was still supported), I used the Firefox Nightly builds (as my main browser) quite a lot; moving to recent times , in the case of the "e3k" builds I prefer his "a1" releases to his "stable" ones because the former do allow for the installation of unsigned extensions, while the latter don't (same as his upstream, i.e. Mozilla); thankfully, the r3dfox builds have this "feature" enabled on all branches (release/stable, esr, beta, a1/plasmafox) ...

For a while until Mozilla dropped Win 7 support, I was using the nightly build as either my main or my YT browser. I only recall once ever having some major issue that stemmed from using the nightly version, and it was quickly fixed since well nightly.

For r3dfox I cared less about it, more so just wanting three different brandings of browser to use so none conflict. r3dfox, r3dfox ESR, and Plasmafox. Also part of the reason I revived it for 152+ when it was last a 133 build.

The point is that Firefox v153.0a1 was released on the 29th of May:
https://www.firefox.com/en-US/firefox/153.0a1/releasenotes/

While Firefox v152.0 was released on the 16th of June:
https://www.firefox.com/en-US/firefox/152.0/releasenotes/

So I guess v152.0 release is more up to date, especially about security patches, than v153.0 alpha 1.

I understand the devs want us to test some things but alpha builds should not be used on a daily basis for the vast majority of end users.

eBoard2 temporarily down. I think there's a bot problem, as my network has started to throttle a lot with the VM on for around a week.

Will be back up ~4pm BST today

HI there, Eclipse community!

I Just figured I'd pop in quickly seeing I've been away for a while recovering. I'm doing a little bit better I guess, but still struggling. I don't know.

God the forum is so dead now. What happened while I was away? I realize things happen when one is gone for a while and out of the loop.

I hope everyone is doing well and getting outside if possible. I've have been walking again (short trips for now) but good to get natural vitamin D again. My blood work all came back normal so that is good and my chest X-Ray also was normal.

We hit the 90's a few time already on the east coast but this week is in the 80's and it should be a dry heat so walking is not torture.

I didn't forget about this place, though, and the people here that helped me.

All the best:

Sal

re: walking

I just visited Atlanta for FIFA World Cup and MLB Braves.
Rented an "electric scooter". Was a BLAST and a TON of FUN.
But holy cow! We weren't expecting them to cost so much just to RENT.
Was so much FUN that I have one on order through Amazon.
Under $200 USD after applying for their card.

Not only for high scooter rent, but also for an outright onslaught of HOMELESS PANHANDLERS.

You think you are asking a "friendly passerby" for directions, to just around the corner, a two block walk, he leads you the entire way, only to give his SOB STORY and ASK FOR MONEY.

Even had a HOMELESS LADY throw a plastic bag of GLASS at our feet and try to accuse us of breaking her things and wanting us to PAY HER for what SHE THREW AT US.

One HOMELESS GUY showed us that those scooters have "free time" on them if the previous renter doesn't "end ride" via the app and wants us to PAY HIM for that free information.

Holy Crap !!! I've never seen as many HOMELESS PANHANDLERS all conjugating within a couple square city blocks.

Not sure if I will ever visit ATLANTA ever again, it was THAT bad !!!
