Windows 10

[_Pigzig]

Is this game going to work on Windows 10 when it releases?
Or for that matter has anyone played it on a Windows 10 build already? Since Windows 10 is the hot new thing about to drop.

I want to upgrade but want to make sure this game works first.

Official response is they will confirm compatibility mid-August, or later if issues are discovered.

So upgrading before they official confirm the game supports Windows 10 is at our own risk.

There's a major windows update on the way, one which everyone will receive for free, and SE couldn't bother to do their best to have their game work on it at launch? It doesn't seem like what most companies would do.

I will upgrade nonetheless. Let's hope it works, but if it does not, there are many things I can play meanwhile.

Don't worry, I'm running W10 since build 9926 and the game has been working with no issues at all.

That's encouraging. I assume it would work because Windows is typically good with legacy support, I think there's more UI and services changes than underlying tech change in this release, but it's good to have your confirmation that we can safely upgrade on day 1 without there being some major issue that makes the game stop working lol.

The only "issue" I have is that the launcher doesn't save the UserID even if you tick the checkbox, so you have to write it everytime you open the game. But other than that, as I said, it works really well.

For reference: i5-3570k, AMD R9 290 (tried with Catalyst 15.6, 15.7 and the latest WU drivers), 8 GB RAM.

Thanks a lot for the confirmation. It's good to know the game will work right off the bat, even if we don't receive any official confirmation yet.

I'm currently waiting to get win10. FF14 working is good but it's not the only game i run and there's also my internet security.

I upgraded to Windows 10 Pro N from Windows 8.1 Pro N.

Previously in Windows 8.1 Pro N, the game could not run as WMVcore.DLL was missing, this is a component missing from N version of Windows which is resolved by installing Media Player package. However this package does not exist in Windows 10 yet and the older installers for older versions of Windows is incompatible, so you're forced to google up for missing DLL files and place into the game folder.

The game runs smoothly - until it crashes, I don't know what's happening, the game doesn't actually crash, but the video does not update anymore and stays still as if it's crashed. The sound playback still works flawlessly, I can hear the music playing in background, my mouse cursor moving over menus and other players casting spells.

Word of advice for those running Windows 7/8/8.1 N to NOT upgrade.

I'd like to know for sure as well....I'm not going to miss out on a free upgrade potentially because I have to wait till "mid august" for them to make it compatible with Windows 10. I'm not going to upgrade and not be able to play the game either, not with savage alexander progression and weekly tome caps to hit. Screw that noise.
