Currently building 2K3 on my Windows 7 laptop… hope it goes well I guess.

Well that was fast. It built in 2:30:35.936 with NO ERRORS, FIRST TRY.

THIS LAPTOP IS ~12 YEARS OLD AND STILL DESTROYED MY OLD MAIN MACHINE IN BUILD TIME WHEN IT RAN WINDOWS 11.

Intel i5-4300U vs Intel i5-10400F
8GB DDR3 vs 48GB DDR4
1TB SATA SDD vs 256GB NVMe M.2 SSD and 1TB SATA HDD
Windows 7 vs Windows 11

How the fuck is my laptop performing better?

Et voilà! My second-ever working 2K3 build and first-ever fully complete with no errors 2K3 build!

All using the power of Windows 7!

@mrmasterkeyboard wait, is this built from leaked source code?
Show threadNerdNextDoor Mar 26
@reiddragon yup, the same code that leaked in 2020.

@mrmasterkeyboard oh, I think I ran into that a while back. Wanted to grab it to take a look at the code but it was too damn large and I couldn't be bothered to wait a few hours to download it

@reiddragon yeah it being 5GB or so isn’t fun

@mrmasterkeyboard Did they open source it?

@tylermultifarious no, it was leaked in 2020.
