dadaddadada Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 This is a screencap of the Battle.net launcher. Check the patch notes. (Patch 2.1.6 happened on 22 october 2014 on EU) Looks like DE wasn't the only one messing with ancient tech lately. Btw, I still get the "Insufficient video memory" after 15.1.0.

Lost_Cartographer Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Well, it's either a crazy coincidence, or it's seriously time to move on from XP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coren024 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 It's very much time to move on from XP, when the company that made the system stops support for it because it is so old and they have multiple newer and usually better versions out, people shouldn't expect that other companies will keep up support for their products on that system.

Fun fact: I have a fully functional win 7 machine but im running XP for mere betatesting and providing feedback. This thread isn't supposed to fall into yet another XP support yes/no debate.

This thread isn't supposed to fall into yet another XP support yes/no debate. newer yes but better? im not so sure especially if vista fall into this, anyways my take is this, you lot cannot keep using xp as being old as an excuse, if DE say it works with xp and are making efforts for it to work with xp then it should be perfectly fair for people to complain when it doesnt.

It will continue to be an excuse because it's true. Developers are beginning to drop XP altogether because, surprise surprise, games tend to run better when they have more than 2gigs of ram and at least DX10 to work with. This isn't a coincidence, this is kinda the point. 3 operating systems, nearly a decade, and even abandonment of support from the creating company itself - yeah, there comes a point where maybe, just maybe, it would be in everyone's best interest to join the 21st and one-tenth century.

cannonfodder1982 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 DE state Win Xp SP3 or higher as system requirements, so it should work on Win Xp SP3. if they didnt want to make it work on Xp they shouldnt have said it will, a lot of game developers do not support Xp but they will say that, i know how old Xp is i know how bad it can be with large amounts of ram, its DX limitations DE should drop it from the list of supported OS's but they haven't so make it work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
