Looks like Win10 LTSC isn't supported

[Draaloff]

I was really excited when I saw it on the store last night and bought it right away, but it looks like I'll be refunding as I get the DirectX12 'SM5' issue despite updating my RTX3060 drivers.
First game I've attempted to play that simply won't run on Win10 LTSC.

Isn't there a newer version of LSTC? LSTC 2021 is said to be equivalent to 21H2.

I thought you had to buy each version with LTSC, but it may be possible with Windows 10 Update Assistant. I'll report back after testing.

Like I thought, it's not so simple. I have to 'contact the system administrator', which I suspect means contacting the company I bought it through and hoping they don't charge me multiple times what I paid for this game to upgrade.

OMG, another dumb topic
"YOUR GAME DOESN'T WORK ON MY SHEETY CONFIGURATION, I AM GOING TO REFUND!!!"
game uses almost the latest engine, it should be obvious it requires latest things on OS level

Rude.
There's plenty of reasons to use LTSC over Pro, and it works just fine 99% of the time.
And obviously I'll refund if the game won't start.

Game is working on win10 LTSC !!! Absoulutely no issues.

If you want to refund the game no need to tell everyone about this. Because it looks like you want devs to see this, and understand how important you are, so they can spend a lot of development hours just to fix the game for your outdated system.

LTSC version of windows is designed for using in office in big companies. My best guess you installed it because there were tons of "anti-telemetry guides" proposing this version of Windows over other versions.

So now you see why it is bad idea. And most likely devs will not make the game work with older DX12 shader model. It simply doesn't pay off.

Are you on the 2021 version? I'm on the 2018 version, which I suspect may be missing some minor feature that the game requires.

Update for DX12 shader model on PC used for gaming must be "minor" feature. What is not "minor" then?

LTSC isn't designed for gaming computers.
The base of it is to use key functions of a program that doesn't change or update overtime.

Unless you trying playing on a medical systems computer for MRI/CAT scans or air traffic controls and other permanent uses, you have no real reason to install it.

Seen many reasons people want to use this OS on gaming computer and none of them actually made sense. Most of them are usually conspiracy theories about Windows 10 because it's free yet they use another OS of the same company!


You can always try going to Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021 but f you don't want to pay to upgrade to the 2021, just buy yourself a customer version of Windows 10 and be done with these issues lol.

I don't really know what this issue is about, but I'm sorry people are being so rude to you.

Putting aside the reduced telemetry and bloatware, the stability was a big deal when I got it.
I don't know if this is still the case, but Windows 10 updates used to be a gamble; they were forced and could wreck your system for no obvious reason.
When weighing that against the tiny amount of things that may not work, then LTSC was the obvious choice.
It was pretty annoying to obtain, but I was able to buy it through my company.
Excluding this one, only two games have had any issues:
1) Phasmophobia's text to speech feature (fixed now that it lo longer uses Cortana to work)
2) Inviting people to your crew in Sea of Thieves (fixed by installing Game Bar)

I intend to attempt an upgrade when I can, as I do actually want to play the game.

You're right. A lot of missing in that version. Update to 21H2
