Service Pack 2 and PC Games

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.games.discussion (More info?)

Unlike everyone else, I don't want to complain that it won't work for me,
because it's not having problems for me, but, I would like to point out that
a LOT of people are having problems with SP2 and games. Why does Microsoft
release these Service Packs without testing them for bugs on every type of
application software, including games, office tools, and everyday
applications? Everytime they make a service pack, they fix fifteen things,
and break twenty-five.

Hi Host,

Everyone except for a slim few haven't had problems with SP2.

The service pack was tested, even with games, to hunt down
and squash any bugs that were found.

A lot of those who are having problems are running systems
which have outdated BIOS drivers / Chipset drivers, have
overclocked their systems, are using cracked game software,
or have malware installed on their systems causing those issues.
