Difficulties running on windows 10
cant uninstall 4.6 framework since it comes with windows 10, reinstalling XNA game studio refresh has windows tell me its not compatible with windows.

launching the game i get a load screen then it dissapears silenty.

I'm working at trying to fix up any issues that my framework may have but I also notice that in the requirements windows 10 is not listed, is this game officially supported on windows 10 systems right off the install or is it not fully compatible with windows 10?

Run almost great on win 10 out of the box. The only problem is famous floor 40 crash.

hmm I wouldn't say its running great out the box, because its failing and relying on XNA game refresh 4.0 which windows specifically warns is not compatible.

I can't be the only one having issue with virtually brand new install of windows 10.....

I had similar issue on Win 7. Can't recall exactly what helped. I believe there was a discussion on Steam about the crash. Try to search it.

probably something wrong with my NET framework but after a few hours of mucking with it I think i'm done for the moment... hate to waste my weekend trying to fix a problem.

Gonna have to reinstall windows to fix my net framework problems... sucks but not games fault.

If you have a system disk, you could try and use the repair function. Although it wasn't related to gaming performance, I had to do a factory reset and everything worked perfectly after I got rid of the bloatware.

My reset almost left me unable to boot lucky it was able to undo the reset attempt.

Looks like ima have to get an image of win 10 (i do have a valid key) just not the disc.

Not sots fault tho, for now i cant play :*(
