Windows 7 x64 ?

[TakuCED]

Yes or no? I want to know now... before upgrade to W10 for this game and refund controller xbox one 2st gen to 3th gen free (i get new, i have 15 days for back I have see latest controller has bluetooth and only w10 support it without adapter)

I hope W7 is support, just ban the 32 bits it's dead

My boy, let me tell you, w7 is no longer viable for gaming. It does work yeah, but you are now living in the past, as much as w10 sucks, its the truth.

That's just wrong. Thanks to Steam's hardware and software survey we know that Windows 7 still accounts for 37% of PC gamers. It's going to take at least a couple of years more before Windows 7 isn't being considered by developers.

Microsoft's decision to exclude Windows 7 and 8.1 machines running a "too new" CPU from getting security updates will at least push some users to upgrade to Windows 10. It's obvious already that Microsoft don't want Windows 7 to turn into another Windows XP by 2020 when it goes out of extended support.

We'll have to wait and see how long it takes before publishers and developers stop targeting Windows 7. Though the slow adoption of DirectX 12 (and honestly, good riddance to it, just support Vulkan instead) isn't helping Microsoft's case either. Especially not when a surprising amount of games perform better while running in DirectX 11 mode than they do in DirectX 12 mode.

They always do that when it comes to newer stuff.

Depending on your computer, you can still freely update to Windows 10 even though it's not advertised. If you don't feel bad about lying, there's also this page that still works: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/accessibility/windows10upgrade

Just yesterday I installed Windows 10 on my old laptop from 2010 that had a Windows 7 Ultimate OEM key in its BIOS and it activated without any issues.

Yes! but I don't care about Windows 10, It is actually malware. Windows 7 is so much better than Windows 10. Because you know Windows 7 is a New XP.

Windows 7 is the new XP, in the same vein that XP was a malware infected wasteland of an OS that more often than not is used as bots in botnets online. After all, 98.35% of all infected machines of the WannaCry malware (you know, the worst malware attack in almost two decades) ran Windows 7: https://www.theverge.com/2017/5/19/15665488/wannacry-windows-7-version-xp-patched-victim-statistics

you nutters realize that 51% of steam users use windows 10 ? windows 7 is ~30% and is declining.

the motivation to support windows 7 is decreasing

As long as it's a DirectX 11 game it would support Win 7. Game isn't built for OS version as much as it is built on a graphic API.

Which is why people hoping Vulkan would be the future as it is independent of OS.

So far, I'm more impressed with Vulkan than I am from DirectX 12.

[Big Boom Boom]

So far I think Vulkan is better but there are not many using Vulkan API yet. Doom and Wolfenstein The New Colossus?

Microsoft barely support their own DirectX 12 is probably why DirectX 11 is still for 99.99% native for new titles.
