Be quiet.
Windows 7 is the best os Microsoft has made, they realized it had too much freedom, that's why they offered free Windows 10, they saw there was plenty of reasons in itself just that people use it.
A decade old, completely outdates, useless OS some people still cling onto because similar pathetic losers told them Windows 10 is baaaaaad and they blindly believe it.
The problem was obviously the person in front of the computer. You know, that pathetic guy with a game ban...
I was staying on 7 all up until I moved to Ryzens, because of how many issues are caused with windowed and borderless windowed games to new implementation of DWM in Windows 10 (which actually originated in 8). It's not that Microsoft does know, as they provided a new refresh model for applications, but even with DX11 and DX12, developers rarely implement it in the end making rate at which frames are served to a monitor worse. But I doubt an imbecyl like you, who would know anything about it....
Either way, if you have hardware and especially high-refresh rate monitor (so you can counter the impact of DWM now being forced on windowed/borderless applications) or just play in exclussive fullscreen mode - you still should move to 10. But no, there are legit valid reasons to stick with 7. Although with lack of support it's now hard to justify it. Still, at least drivers are still relatively up to date... unlike with 8 and 8.1.
Windows xp worked for a long time after Microsoft ceased to support it, Microsoft updates is a pile of dung aimed to fix the previous update and all the exploitations that their weak OS has.
This was patched up in a much superior way by the users, so their support really don't say all that much, there will never be another os like Windows 7 that offer the same freedom and Microsoft knows this.
As for games that use their sponsors to exclude older operating systems is just something that should be avoided and hopefully they declare themselves bankrupt after for being the feckheads that they are.
Omitting xinput1_4.dll in game install folder was likely an oversight of the developer.
Btw if I used win10, I would know better as to not brag about such a sad thing.
It wasn't. If anything the presence of xinput1_3.dll is baffling, as almost almost all DirectX libraries (with maybe exception of few that allow for compilation of shaders) are not suppose to be distributed together with software. They are very often OS dependent and there presence in game directory, prevents from loading correct libraries from system's environment variables.
xinput1_4.dll contains functions related to Windows Store, so I assume also UWP, which can not be handled within Windows 7, so it's more of a lucky coincidence that this one still works within Windows 7, as it obviously was not designed to. This also doesn't mean if a similar situation happens with other games, the same solution will necessarily work, as if it uses a function that 7 can not handle, it will just throw exception and crash.
