compatibility Windows10

Post#1 » Wed Sep 16, 2015 7:46 pm

hi, I am thinking to update Windows 7 to Windows 10 but I don't know if this game is compatible with Windows 10, ppl say to me Windows 10 is in beta and a lot of programs don't work.
What do you think?

I did an in-place upgrade with no problems at all coming from Win7.

If you do a CLEAN install, you'll need to get a couple of extra bits and pieces, like DX9 and some of the Visual C++ 2008 files. There isn't a good process for that currently.

Win 10 doesn't like the Warhammer files and won't let it run with Defender on. I have my own malware protection and would prema disable Defender, but for some odd reason Win10 will only let me temp disable it. Defender restarts with a reboot.

Set an exclusion for the WAR folder, should be doing that with AV and Firewall anyway.

Are you really sure you want to have Windows 10 OS instead of old trusty XP, I mean 7?

It is a clean upgrade from the fresh install previous OS? If it is not, then that might be the reason. I had problem with Win10 when it upgraded from Win7. So luckily I have a HD failure and took my Win10 with it. So I got a new hard drive few weeks ago and did clean install Win7 then directly to Win10 with the help with MS Tech support. Basically problem free Win10.

Running fine here on Win10Pro/64-bit. My upgrade path was Win7 => Win8.1 => Win10. I did the torrent d/l and all i did to set up the game was copy the folder to my Games directory, make all the files read/write, and drop in the launcher. IF something isn't working then I am guessing it is probably visc++ runtime, direct x version, or .NET stufs missing. Run as admin might help if you are not an admin to start with, but I always log in with privileged access (MOAH POWA!).
