About Unity and Windows XP

[andreymust19]

Please, don't update game engine above 2017.2 version. Next 2017.3 update is lost compatibility with WinXP. I will be disappointed if game stop running at all.

Isn't WindowsXP like, 20 years old or something?

Sorry, but I pretty much have to due to some of the performance changes being made (jobs system to be specific). WinXP is actually beneath the game's system requirements on Steam -- and yes, it is a 17 year old operating system. I'm surprised you got the game to run on it.

By my experience all games on Unity (before version 2017.3) successful running on Windows XP. Is garanteed on game engine official page (in sys. req. for standalone build for windows have a WinXP).
May be problem only with 64-bits builds and low RAM or VRAM memory. Same with UE3-games. All of them works on XP, but developers not test them.

I bought this game because i played in alpha-version from website.

No, it isn't. The last major update for Windows XP/XP x64 was in 2014.

This whole situation with Unity dropping support for NT 5.x series makes my blood boil, because OpenGL capabilities of DX11/12 are NOT tied to OS but rather the hardware itself.

Unfortunately, M$ have their people everywhere and going long ways to cripple support of its most stable, functional and user-friendly OS ever - they want you to sit on Windows 10 and let them spy on you 24/7 and are making your life miserable if you don't.

Running on XP you have much larger issues than the game. That PC is probably riddled with infections due to not having patches on it in quite some time.
