Any way to launch it on Windows 7?

[genechtagazoink]

yes, I know it's ridiculous, but still... after all, downgrading is a popular thing these days

If it cant be launced on windows 7, its probably because it aint supported.
Besides, windows 7 lost support a long time ago, so i dont think you would get much help about it,
Also, windows 7 dont have support over security, so its not ideal system anymore. But good luck anyways.

There is Launch options to select from in the propertys of the game here at Steam, You can chose different options there. It has different ways of launching it.

How about Mac OS 7? I came back in time to see how Cyan has developed and want to try the future out!

There was no macOS 7. Have you tried downgrading to System1 to see if that helps?

There are a option to run it under DX11,, so it should run under Windows 7. But I get an error message while loading up, so I can't confim it.

can you redownload Direct X 11? Just an idea of mine

How many CD-ROMs does this game ship on? More than Riven? And do I need something faster than a 2X drive?

I, unlike the flamers here, don't blame you for asking. Windows 10 is bloated and slow. As a solution, you can create a dual boot drive with both Windows versions on it. That way you can have both worlds.

Run it with DXVK if forcing launch options for DX11 don't cut it. (still no guarantee)

Also, Even windows XP still gets Security Updates. Nice try though.

the last security update was in 2019, I wouldn't say that they are still updating it since it's been 4 years

I have the same issue and cannot launch Firmament, because it looks incompatible with Windows 7, which host DirectX 11 and Firmament requires DirectX 12.

The Game's start option to run it in d3d11 for those who do not have DirectX 12 crashes the game start with the following pop-up error message:

"The UE4-Firmament Game has crashed and will close. Fatal Error: [File:Unknown] [Line: 258] Direct3DDevice-> CreateUnorderedAccessView(Texture-> GetResource();&UAVDesc,(ID3D11UnorderedAccessView**)UnorderedAccessView.GetInitReference()) failed at I:Workspace/Engine/Source/Runtine/Windows/D3D11RHI/Private/D3D11UAV.cpp/116 with error E_INVALIDARG .

- Has anyone else the same issue on Windows 7?
- Any idea how to solve the issue and to get the start option " in d3d11" able to launch the game without crashing?
- Any tip to get DirectX 12 running on Win 7?

Thanks.

Not on Windows 7, but I get that exact error on Windows 10 (Pro). If I go in with the default (DX12) I get DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED (seems odd, on a laptop!) and if I go in with d3d11 I get:

"Direct3DDevice->CreateUnorderedAccessView(Texture->GetResource(),&UAVDesc,(ID3D11UnorderedAccessView**)UnorderedAccessView.GetInitReference()) failed
at I:/Workspace/Engine/Source/Runtime/Windows/D3D11RHI/Private/D3D11UAV.cpp:116
with error E_INVALIDARG"

...just like you.

This on an elderly and underpowered non-gaming laptop, though; it's just that's the only Windows box I've got. (Firmament won't run on my Mac but that is also elderly and not on the latest macOS so I expected that!)
