Bioshock Infinite for XP

[TheTimeSword]

If anyone finds a way to play BSI on the XP, let me know. I'm not upgrading my system to Windows 7 just to play one game. (My system is beast, I just like Windows XP).

its never going to happen sorry.

It's also becoming increasingly common for XP not to be supported. Microsoft have discontinued support for it, and it _is_ more than ten years old. I felt this way about XP for a long time, but decided to bite the bullet simply because it's not a viable operating system at this stage. I wouldn't go back for all the tea in China.

XP is over 10, but it's still better than Vista in every where. Go figure.

Windows XP support ends April next year, which means no more patches, updates, etc.

If your system is really beast, you won't have any trouble upgrading to Windows 7.

If your processor is x64 capable, you should go for the 64-bit version. I did it on one of my PCs, which allowed me to increase the RAM above 4GB (I currently have 8GB).

Inpossybru! It's need a DX10+, but XP can have only DX9

[[JukK!] (music)]

Soon all games will require a DX11! I really recomend you update your XP to 7! Not only for games!

I have 8GB too. I just don't want Windows 7 because it's crappy. I have to work with it at work, I really don't want to work with it at home.

Ah, so you have the XP 64-bit then.

Well, support for it will also end in one year's time. Liking it or not, you'll still have to upgrade.

Actually, XP 64 bit support ended in 2005. That includes security updates. Personally, I refuse to use any OS with any of those plebeian GUI interfaces.

Windows 8? Go die, please.

^^^ ignorant post is ignorant. Windows 8 is a stable platform and had been the least headaches of any OS I have setup in the past decade.

Win7 is "crappy"? Also, if you tell somebody to die over Win8 you truly are an idiot. Win8 is Win7 that you can easily modify back to Win7 (1 free program if you don't like the start menu). Almost everyone who is on the Win8 bandwagon is completely clueless and simply re-stating what they have read on the internet. Especially those people who talk about Win8 needing a touch screen (it's Win7 with a new start menu and it's actually faster).

XP is pretty god awful compared to Win7 and Win8 is actually quite good. XP is slow, not optimized at all for any current games, is not optimized for SSD's (if your system is beast you have one) as it doesn't support TRIM, you can't get better than DX9 in your games (total waste of any current vid card) and a lot of programs have dropped support for it since MS isn't going to support it at all in a year.

Of course I am not sure why I am even responding to a guy who puts his name in xNamex format. You realize that is one of the biggest running jokes on the internet right? It does not look "cool".

QFT. ^ Words of wisdom.

That's the short-lived XP 64-bit edition for Itanium processors. I assumed that the version that OP must be running is the Professional x64 edition, which is still supported.

I should have worded it correctly, my bad...

So, you're just going to ignore the points I made (which are only a few out of many) and simply try to call me stupid? Is that right xTimeSwordXsn1p3rx1337x?
