Currently the game doesn't run with windows 7. the devs upgraded to a new Unity version that causes a crash with Windows 7. The devs of the game can't really do much, it's on Unity to fix their software. There's an extra branch for windows 7 but that only goes up to chapter 2.

Microsoft recently announced that it will officially begin the Windows 7 end of life phase on Jan. 14, 2020. On that day, the company will stop supporting Windows 7 on laptops and desktops, and will no longer patch it with security updates.Jun 14, 2019 Since the game not going to be released till mid to late 2020-2022 you going to need to upgrade to win 10 why make a game that will not be supported by a OS

its not the game devs fault you not upgraded to win 10 yet

personally i hate 10 it not as bad as 8 but overall it crap 7 is and will always be better microsoft reason to end support is just them being a holes but as it their software it their choice. that said if a company doesn't support a software once sold or choose not to to that criminal in my eyes and should be treated as such. You say end of life but most would still use 7 if they had a choice i seen a decent amount of people remove 10 from their system and put 7 on i not heard one good reason to move to 10

win 7 should be supported for as long as we like that mean come 2030 i still be on win 7 with or without updates and i seen a few of companies still using xp cause they refuse to upgrade i personally still got a pc that run xp

such is life and not a dam thing we can do unless we can write the code ourselves then we just have to deal with it

give it time pliskinazo369 they fix unity eventually just got to wait sucks i know

It's not a recent known fact that microsoft will stop it's support of win 7 in 2020, it's known for years already. The whole point of the campaign, getting win10 for nothing as a win7 user, was for that announcement. You can choose what win you want, they were all different at first to the one before and we all had our problems with this changes, some more some less.

Is it likely Windows 7 support will return for at least the remainder of 2019 (and until backwards compatibility just breaks down thereafter)? If this particular bug is with Unity, does anyone know if they are intending to resolve it? I'm purchasing "Edge of Eternity" now, hopefully I can play it this summer.

Personally I have a great Win 10 developer laptop .. with Intel integrated graphics (but HDMI out to TV!). And a (formerly) great Windows 7 workstation with a graphics card. Oh and this cool feature called Steam Streaming. (Unfortunately the aging server-grade workstation doesn't run Windows 10 reliably. Microsoft officially resolved my case with "Downgrade to Windows 7").

ASIDE:
Yes i'm up acutely aware I'm against a wall with Jan 14, 2020. My aging tools meet my needs, there is no budget to replace them. Whatever the solution, my casual gaming alone doesn't justify an entire new gaming rig... :(

While I agree Windows 7 is superior/preferable in many ways your view is overall naive. All Operating Systems and most Enterprise software have published support life-cycles. Most companies follow a rolling Support-Cycle, and End-of-Support for versions is known from the day of initial release. If not, then End-Of-Life is announced YEARS in advance! It is impossible to continue developing new innovative software while back-porting fixes indefinitely or making exclusive bug-fixes for every previous piece of software one ever released. The most die-hard Windows 7 developers at Microsoft will be popping champagne the day they can close that source-control branch - forever! I promise you.

Doesn't look like they put much priority to it. Maybe we should upvote it so they know it's important...

None of it is important to this throw away society. Some use the garbage 10 for work as we are forced and game unlike the kiddies on tons of old games that REQUIRE Win 7, because Microsoft is a lazy monopoly..

I hope enough can at least make a little stink about it, at least..

Some can take the extended support for Win 7 at the end of 2019, by the way..
