HOW A 20-YEAR-OLD BUG IN GTA SAN ANDREAS SURFACED IN WINDOWS 11 24H2

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

A 20-year-old bug in GTA San Andreas that causes the Skimmer plane to disappear in-game has surfaced in Windows 11 24H2. The root cause has been traced to missing wheel scale parameters in the vehicles.ide file for the Skimmer, which went unnoticed due to the game's incomplete data validation. The bug was triggered by changes in Windows 11 24H2's internal stack management, which overwrote uninitialized values that the game unintentionally relied upon.
