Reposting my comment from another thread because it needs to be made clear:
Those mod devs are absolute assholes.
As per the decompiled code, the game will refuse to load in certain cases with the message “Upgrade your PC, the current hardware is just ridiculous.” I can understand not wanting to field support requests from extremely outdated hardware, but being condescending and not even giving players the option to try playing it…
“You are too poor for this mod, peasant”, basically.
One of the devs stream ids from the decompiled code:

Why am I not surprised that they’re Russian 😅
And while the other guy may not be a Russian (at least he doesn’t admit it) he’s still a pretty awful person. One of his most recent post replies is talking about how great killing LGBT people would be, and how he’d be for that since it would “destroy the LGBT in small parts” and somehow lead to “fully destroying LGBT”.
Not surprising whatsoever.
To be clear I did meet some nice people when I visited Russia briefly, there are horrible people everywhere, not just in Russia 😅
Yeah there are horrible people everywhere, where you live doesn’t have as much correlation with how much of an awful person you are as some people might think. These people aren’t awful because of their nationality but because they are awful disgusting people.
I think living in a place or situation that’s more difficult plays a role, it’s a lot easier to be kind when everyone around you is kind too.
That is true, in places where everyone are assholes it’s harder to be nice. Though I still maintain that people are responsible for their own behavior and not being assholes themselves, even if it seems hard. Other people’s behavior isn’t an excuse.
Hold on, we have a check for outdated hardware for a mod of a 20 year old video game?
I probably wouldn’t have even heard of this mod if the creators had not been this bitter about the poor reception.
Me neither; but now I’m going to check it out for the laughs. Mission accomplished?
Honestly, recreational rage deserves punchback
