JTCS & W8?

[Warhorse]

Because I'm sure Microsoft would never try scare tactics to boost sales of newer OS's at hundreds of dollars a pop!! Pisses me off, I can't afford a new freakin' OS, bastards...

Oops! Sory. I didn't mean to pile on.

I sympathize with both sides to the question.

Anyway, as we know, MW/CS run fine on Windows XP, and should continue to do so. Maybe that's the real bottom line here.

I jumped on the $40 upgrade from XP to 8Pro on day one release. Most people that don't want to spend money on an old box should dual boot with Ubuntu for most things and just use XP for offline games that don't work in Wine.

Precisely what I have been doing for quite some time now.

Ubuntu does all of my normal computer operations including totally secure online business.

XP, from which I never browse the internet, handles the majority of my gaming.

It is a pity that more devs don't make games natively for Linux, I would say fair well and adieu to Microsoft once and for all.

I'm running it on Win 7 64bit..does this mean I will have issues? Seems OK to me.

It should run OK on W7 64bit, that was previous platform as well.

I had a Map Editor issue that was resolved with Disable Desktop Composition property, otherwise it ran very smoothly with no issues.

You need to download a latest version of Arkady's Unit Viewer for 64 bit environment, if you want to use it.

JTCS tested on http://business.panasonic.co.uk/computer-product/toughpad/ut-mb5 and I encounter some glitches, I'll play with it and report if I succeed to display game correctly.
