Anti virus used standard windows 10 default one, no settings altered, installed on admin default my user account, which is a standard windows 10 password less account with full admin permissions.

installed as shown, no alteration to the desktop shortcut needed.

supported my res out of the box of 1920x1080 at my higher than default normal DPI settings. (4k is in the first patch)

fonts not changed or altered, default install one used as shown, and on my 40" LED display, un needed, so not altered from default,...

no alteration needed to the AV or firewall, as installed as admin, sorted both out,.

my standard windows use, with my normal apps and programs used

larger map and battle on test, for higher results, please remember windows 10 has the latest memory management version than any previous version, so tends to use memory more efficiently than most

no it shows that nothing has been altered regarding the compatibility part of the shortcut and everything works same as any version of windows, even admin or high DPI, none of it is needed for a install as admin install shown on the first couple of post

Great work! One thing that should be mentioned is turning off virus protection. My Avast had problems during install. I think it claimed irsetup.exe (as I recall) was a virus. I had to add a couple exceptions during install. I may try another install so I can note the file names correctly.

yes some need adding to the same list, while others need to turn on game mode, while some like mine shown, don't need anything special at all and just work, seems some are more game friendly than others i'm sorry to say[:(]

Hello this is great info but it is still not working for me (it worked for TAOW III) but I am using the latest windows 10 version 64 bit being run on my MAC via Parallels, all of the other games work fine on it but I just can't get this to work. Also my Mac is on the latest and greatest of OS as well.
