What is the reason for this? Why can't Windows just detect that you already have it? Why do Windows users need to keep downloading this package for every game?

I've never had any driver problems in my entire life.
Except for that one time I tried Linux

And also why can't games that need it do a better job at communicating that they need it?

The short answer is because developers are lazy.

Normalfags don't buy PCs now anyway, everyone that has one already knows about drivers.

So you are using a SSD to play at HDD speeds? What the fuck?

my years as a helpdesk lemming introduced me to so many weird problems. my favorite was users with apple watches putting their laptops to sleep because it would make contact with the magnet used to detect if the lid of laptop has been shut.

I don't understand, are you faggots incapable of understanding that such posts were done because either the fix was against the rules of the forum, or because it involved piracy?
Jesus fucking christ.
Stupid fucking people.
