XP work or not work?

[Ronin]

It works or does not work this game in XP? Please no one comment if XP is old, that if change to Win 7, 8, etc, that I know, and reviews do not provide anything since everyone uses the OS you want or you can use. There are many players that we still use OS XP. If someone with competence and knowledge can tell I'd appreciate it.

My PC fulfills the minimum requirements except the OS. However there are many games that indicates that it does not support XP but works perfectly

Thank you

¿Funciona o no funciona este juego en XP? Por favor que nadie comente que si el XP es antiguo, que si cambie a Win 7, 8, etc., eso ya lo sé, y sus comentarios no aportan nada ya que cada cual usa el SO que quiere o puede usar. Hay muchos jugadores que aun usamos el SO XP. Si alguien con competencia y conocimiento pueda informar lo agradecería.

Los requisitos minimos lo cumple mi PC salvo el SO. No obstante hay muchos juegos que indica que no soporta XP pero funciona perfectamente

Gracias

It says very clearly on the store page, minimum OS version is Windows Vista. Do you not read?

[obione69]

dont know sorry, it doesnt say if you need directx 9, 10 or 11. if it supports 9 it technically should work with XP but no mention of it.
and just because it says vista as minimum means nothing, dont listen to the fools

This is not a DirectX game. It is an OpenGL 3.3 game. Again, it's right on the store page.

XP is outdated and will not be useful for any new games

XP is old you should upgrade to windows 7 or 8.1. You do know you are no longer receiving security updates?

Direct X isnt just about graphics, it also has other APIs like sound and multithreading technologies.

The minimum requirements are Windows Vista. This will be due to a number of reasons:

DirectX 10 (Visual/Sound etc)
Stability
Memory management is much better
Device drivers being updated (not many drivers being updated for XP anymore for latest games).

Honestly, XP is 14 years old. It's way past time you upgraded.

While it is possible for it to work on XP, as the others have stated the fact of the matter is that XP has been officially dropped as a supported version of windows.
As such, it is unlikely for most games to be even tested on XP now and in the future.
As a result, even if it does work it is very possible that you will face glitches. Not just homeworld, but any future game that doesn't list XP as a supported OS.

tl;dr version: I wouldn't bet any money on it working on XP if I was you. At least, not working perfectly.

It's actually more of a question whether the GPU you're using supports OpenGL 3 than it is a Windows XP issue. But chances are if you're still running Windows XP then it's on old hardware that doesn't have OpenGL 3 support.

I will be testing will the game work on win xp. I think the classic should work without problems, but the remastered I am not so sure.

Win xp is still used, and most important update with security software, browsers and similar. There are new games coming out, but mostly the ones that dont need or utilized graphic a lot (so mostly indie games with lower system req).

But do not buy the game before people that use win xp test it.

If you meet the requirements, and as others stated, your gpu is openGL3 compliant, it should work, the vista req is because they did not test it on XP, it might work percfectly fine, or might not even work. This used to be what demos are for, you know... There are 3rd party ways you could test to see if the game actually works on your machine before buying. If you have already bough: either works or doesn't, no use in crying now.
If you didn't, then I suggest you turn to those fellas over on those websites where you do those things, you know... But if it works, make sure to buy it, for it'll have FREAKING MULTIPLAYER AND possible patches, which might become necessary...
I'm not condoning illicit activities here, I am just giving a fair counsel on what one should do to buy a game if they are unsure it will run. It saved my ass from buying watchdogs and some other games I don't remember. So, while we fully support the devs for remastering this brilliant masterpiece, the consumer should also take some precautions as to how well he should spend his money; I have repented from buying many things on steam before... So be careful.

Então, se o senhor manjares das devidas artimanhas, va para la bahía de los corsarios, capiche?

That's always the best bet but if you are online at any time your OS is at severe risk and no amount of updating your security such as AV will make your system secure.

As is the case with any OS. The thing is that 90% of people dont understand is that when microsoft dropped windows xp support, it didnt change anything, but they did it so they can remove the customer support staff, . The OS is not more vulnerable for attacks/security problems than during the support phase. And its because security updates stopped long time ago (several years before the last date)and all fixes come from additional software. So from security problem it is same now as it was during support phase as nothing changed

If you know how to use your pc and keep it up to date, you will have no problems using win xp as I have been for more than 14 years (but for best possible security, up to date/new OS are the way to go in most cases).

If you only use XP for video games ... fine, but I wouldn't trust it for anything beyond that. It doesn't matter how much you think you know XP, there's a ton of stuff happening there that is way beyond your control, for any one person.

Heck...I think I played it the first time on Windows 98 or maybe it was Windows ME. lol
Seriously though...I fear you are probably out of luck with XP. Sorry man!

XP is full of security exploits, whether you are aware of them or not. It doesn't matter what secondary software you are using. I wouldn't let an XP machine anywhere near my network. May I ask why you won't upgrade to, windows 7 for example?
