Sorry if the video was kind of long. I wanted to make it as nice as possible for this project.
Anyway, ever since Extended Kernel released, I was wondering if it will ever get Fortnite running on Vista. As time progressed, Extended Kernel has become more amazing.
Though, I never saw someone interested about proving Fortnite running on Windows Vista. So I felt like it's my duty to prove it.
It's been some time. I first tried it on my mac with parallels desktop. I couldn't get anywhere further than the lobby because of my mac's slow performance. Then I tried VMware on my main PC. The SVGA 3D driver from VMware tools 11.0-11.2.6 was the only one that had DirectX 10 and 11 support. Though, I had huge performance issues.
Since I don't have a real Vista PC, I thought this would be the end. But I then figured out how to fix performance issues while keeping the same driver. I changed the VM's compatibility to Workstation 15.x. While I was limited to DirectX 10.1, I fixed performance issues.
And turns out, at least those old versions of Fortnite I tested require a graphics card that supports at least DirectX 10.
Finally, with the performance issues gone, I found answers.
Although DirectX 11 would have been improving performance even more, at least I got Fortnite somehow running. It's not very playable on DirectX 10 and it gives me "out of memory" errors and exits out.

For a good Fortnite experience on Windows Vista, I recommend the following system requirements:
-A Vista-compatible PC with 2nd or 3rd generation i5 or i7. If you're gonna do this on 4th gen or later, please make sure that your Vista OS is configured properly and that you get your drivers working.
-8 or 16 GB of RAM
-A good DirectX 11 GPU that supports Vista. A GTX 750 Ti should do it's job. Recommended 980 Ti.

If you don't have a Vista PC, then you can use a VM. BUT PAY ATTENTION TO THIS:
The ONLY VM software I recommend is Parallels Desktop version 15 or later. This VM software provides very good drivers that support Windows Vista and have DirectX 11 support as well.
This means you will need either a very good Hackintosh PC, or a very good intel-based Mac.
I RECOMMEND AGAINST USING ANY OTHER VM SOFTWARE LIKE VMWARE OR VIRTUALBOX. JUST DON'T USE THEM TO PLAY FORTNITE.

I really hope you watched the video until the end. There are some important info that I mentioned that you should keep in mind if you're going to try this. DO NOT UPDATE THE VERSION OF EXTENDED KERNEL.
