I’ll be playing a game, and then one day it won’t work. After updating my graphics drivers, it works again. But the game didn’t receive an update, so why does it just break?

That’s always what I thought when they release a new driver for a specific game. I’m like “seriously? Do they check the executable or something?” Yes, yes they do.
They do that on Linux as well. Depending on the name of your Doom 3 executable you’d get different performance, if I recall correctly.
It’s always funny to see that drivers and operating systems are littered with workarounds for (in my eyes) shoddy bugs in downstream applications.
