So did I. Managed to get 600kB base memory free with mouse, sound and cdrom drivers loaded, 4dos 4thewin.
I didn't know Win7 was still a thing 
Decent OS tho at its time.

you think the problems with odyssey are due to the developers hitting technical limitations of the api they're using. That's cute.
DX12 wont solve anything that's wrong with odyssey. Linux already runs this game under vulkan (which has many similarities with dx12) and it seems highly unlikely you'll get a port (you wont get a port regardless) that does much different than the translation that is going on with dxvk because they're not going to build the rendering pipeline from scratch under the new api.
edit: btw, the performance in linux in odyssey is just as bad in comparison to horizons for the same scenes as you see in windows. There's something like a 30% higher gpu load to hit the same framerate in odyssey for the same scene.
Cheater!
IIRC it could be done with regular autoexec.bat & config.sys files too.
Even got FE2 to run on my sister's 386SX with DOS 5.0, even if that required 595 kB free conventional memory and 1 MB EMS.
EDIT: that was without the CDROM drivers though...

I'll bet a million dollars I don't have that in your closet, in the corner, just behind the untouched shaving cream, is a box full of 3.5 inch floppys.
Only valid use for a f3.5" drive these days, tbf...
No, actually the only valid use for a 3.5 floppy disk drive these days is to install Frontier: Elite II onto the hard disks of my various Amigas...Only valid use for a f3.5" drive these days, tbf...

No, it means the game is doomed(tm) obviously.
It’s still Direct3D 11. A Direct3D 11 implementation using Vulkan, but the game still uses through the same D3D 11 code. So of course it won’t be any faster, in fact it’ll probably be slower as the overhead of two graphics APIs is greater than one.
Supposedly happening daily even since before release. (If you do X the game is doooooooomed!")
It's consistent, if anything.
Anyway?
Moving on!
Well, 3.5" disks weren't really that floppy. 5 1/4's, now they flopped... but not as much as 8" ones. And they were positively rigid when compared to punched tape.
Complaining about people having fun on the forums - well done!
Well the good news is that people still running 7 are likely using an older CPU that can't even run 11 due to the TPM requirement.
