Remove ~ that people keep putting in the system variable

if this actually needed, just close this, I have heard mixed things about including the ~ not working

I don't have an affected CPU to test this. If anyone with an affected CPU could test this and report back whether the change is correct so that I can merge or close, that'd be great ^^

i've hopefully got someone (righthonorable on the Discord server) testing this over the weekend, but if anyone else wants to do it sooner feel free to

Tested on my pc with a 12th gen and without the ~ it worked for me

Unless Linux works differently than this

Requested changes have been made, and the guide has been tested to work without the ~ in it

[GeckoEidechse]

Wait, so both the version with and without the ~ work? Or just the one without?

Lumi tested it and says it worked, I've recommended it to a few users and it's worked for them as well

Additionally, I'll have a 12th gen I'll put together tonight instead of waiting. Can test myself later as long as I don't skill issue and break something

Just tested.

On Northstar, I didn't need to set anything to get in game. Installed my i7 12700kf yesterday, didn't touch variables, and was able to connect normally

On vanilla I did have the issue tho. Worked perfectly fine without the ~

For the record, ~0x20000000 clears the 29th bit of the result from cpuid, while 0x20000000 replaces the result with one with just the 29th bit set (OPENSSL_ia32cap.3). The 29th bit represents the Intel SHA Extensions.

As such, if the second one (without the ~) works, the actual solution has nothing to do with the 29th bit; it's one of the others.

Should be noted that this works more often than with the tilda
