Yes, Frets on Fire 1.3.110 runs on Windows 11 — this site’s own search data proves the demand, with “frets on fire windows 11” already ranking at position 5. But “runs” comes with asterisks: expect to set compatibility mode, update your GPU driver from the GPU maker, and possibly fight a black screen or an OpenGL error on first launch.
What to expect
- Install: follow the Windows 11 install guide — portable ZIP, short path, Windows 7 compatibility if needed.
- Common failures: black screen or crash, OpenGL errors, and the MSVCR71 runtime prompt — all covered in the troubleshooting hub.
- SmartScreen: Windows may flag the unsigned 2008 executable as unrecognised. That is expected for an old unsigned binary; it is not proof the file is malicious, and it is not proof it is clean either — scan it with your own antivirus and prefer the SourceForge link.
If you want zero compatibility work on Windows 11, Clone Hero and YARG are the maintained answers, and FoFiX sits in between.
