Tested on Chromium 114:

  • install Explorer Suite
  • download latest version of Chromium x64(with widevine and codecs)
  • navigate to chromium directory and open chrome.dll in CFF Explorer(Explorer Suite)
  • go to the Import Directory and rename the DWrite.dll import to DWri32.dll
  • go to the kernel32.dll imports and rename the DiscardVirtualMemory import to VirtualAlloc
  • save
  • copy DWri32.dll (backported DWrite.dll from Windows 10) to C:\Windows\System32 folder
  • create a shortcut to Chrome.exe, right click properties--> shortcut tab--> add '--no-sandbox' argument in target

Credits go to mjd79 and D.Draker.

This also not working at Chromium 116 anymore! Is there fix for that?
Explorer Suite at me does not display the folders but have change it with another tool: Professional PE Explorer (PPEE)

Catsxp with kernel 114 are working. Maybe is 114 or 115 last?

    degen By the way, I realized that no one mentioned here that the Supermium fork has a toggle to enable GDI font rendering which returns to the original much more native-looking and crisp style of fonts used in Chrome before mid-2014. After enabling this the text is super easy to read, even better than Firefox. Although Supermium is primarily a legacy fork for 7/8.1 support, this toggle is just as useful on 10 and 11 as well

        It works again on x64 versions on Chrome/ium 125 and 126. But you need to edit Major Op.Sys.Version and MajorSubsystemVersion from A to 6.

        It is pity that the same tweaks do not work on x86 versions (with modded dwrite.dll).
