Re: Only runs on W11?

As Jim said, it works fine on Windows 10 but we can no longer officially support that Operating System as it approaches the end of its support by Microsoft on October 14th. I'd recommend upgrading to Windows 11, but FCCW will work on Windows 10.

I’m ready to conduct ...

Re: Galactic scale war while Shakturi inbound - absolute epic game!


I'm against the idea and here is why. I like to play games in the background. Do some work, alt tab give some orders, alt tab work etc. Now, if I leave system load target at the default 60, my cpu is 50% usage all the time. It does not matter I'm in game, or if I'm paused or if the game is ...
