That's nonsense. If at all, the games run a bit smoother now.
When it comes to compatibility ... no difference to Windows 10.
I'm using it for 2 months now, there has not been a single game that would not run at all or run worse than it did on Windows 10.
BreOl72: Fun fact: people have been hearing "the new windows sucks for gaming" since the introduction of the first windows. Yeah :) It took me a while to give Windows a chance, I was a DOS-Jockey.
What finally convinced me, was Jedi Knight. That was also what I bought a 3Dfx card for.
And let's be honest. It was a lot less work to use a Voodoo card with Windows for all Direct3D games than for DOS where exe-files and/or DLLs had to be replaced.
Edit: I must correct myself: Yes, there IS one problem with Windows 11: If you run DOSBox in Fullscreen (on a 4K monitor), after you end the game the start menu won't work for a while. After some minutes it will work again.
My solution was to set DOSBox to overlay and use a zoom factor which almost fills the entire screen, so I don't have to switch to Fullscreen.
Also - after Far Cry 6 crashed - the task manager would not load anymore - which is bad. But that only happened once, so I would not say it's a reguar thing. It shows however that it IS possible to mess up the task manager - which should not be possible.
