Windows 10

Anyone tried AO with windows 10 yet?

Tech preview seems to run everything smoothly on my office computer. But the office computer could not run AO in W8.1 either, so cant really use it to test. That damn internal intel card ****s it up for me :P

Got a link to the tech build? I'll throw it on dual boot and see how it runs.

Got it, it's on download now, I'll set it up and see how AO runs, watch this space

Will be running on:

i5 4670K @ 3.4GHz
GTX970
8GB DDR3 1333MHz

So FPS won't be much a decent indicator of run speed, but I'll see if there is any choppiness with loading/running around since from what I can remember, AO calls assets from the HDD, not memory.

Not hoping for better FPS anyways. Just want to run W10. Really loving the interface. But as I know AO isnt happy with newer OS's, its nice to have it tested first.

Thanks alot for testing

Ok, so.

Got Win10 Tech Preview installed and running. The UI is ok, the OS is pretty choppy for me atm, but I chalk that up to lack of drivers.

AO itself loads fine, it runs atrociously for me atm though since it's going off my Intel onboard graphics. Oddly enough though, there was none of the graphical artefacts that other Intel users have reported, so that may be an interesting point.


Beyond the low FPS though, the game loads and works as expected.

Sweet, thanks for testing. W10 uses the same drivers as w8.1. I use it on my office computer and Ive had no software issues. Lots of stuff is actually smoother. Its a crappy laptop and could not stream netflix in HD. Would loose lipsync. That issue is gone in W10.

Sounds like I can safely upgrade my gamingrig as well! Thanks alot Raggy

If it runs on the 8.1 drivers, I'll grab them in a bit and take it for another spin. I'm curious to test some of my more demanding games on 10 to see if it handles them better than 7.

Specifically Planetside 2. That thing is a downright CPU hogging monster.

[Iaitoo]

Done a test with drivers yet? interested in your planetside 2 results as well

AO is working fine on my laptop running win10 too.
Using nvidia drivers for win8.1.

[Phargus]

Is dx12 included in the tech preview?

[Novagen]

Yeah it is but I dont think any drivers support it yet.
