Windows 10 is coming today!

With so many of us excited to jump on board the next big thing for Windows gaming, we want to share with you the latest update on game compatibility today, and our expectations for the future.

Overall, the entire process went better than expected. We're very happy with that fact, but we're still only getting started.

Today, roughly 85% of our library is labeled as compatible with Windows 10. These games were fully playable with no significant performance or graphical issues during our testing process and are ready to go right now. You can filter through Windows 10 games in our catalog, and the compatibility will be labeled on every game card.

Moving forward, we plan to continue our work to bring as many of the remaining games as possible over to the new OS. As new updates and features are released, we hope to see improved backward compatibility and new tools to work with, but it's always possible for new issues to come up along the way. If you do suspect that a game should not be labeled Windows 10 compatible, we'll appreciate your help in getting to the bottom of things, but you can always rely on your 30 Day Money Back Guarantee.

The most important thing to stress is that Windows 10 is a brand new operating system, and that means we're still in the middle of a transition period. The coming weeks or months may be rocky as the first wave of patches hits the OS, so we'll constantly monitor the situation to quickly put out any fires.







Help us improve our Windows 10 compatibility.
Windows 10 is still in its early days, and there's a myriad of hardware and software combinations out there - some of them potentially explosive. We want to give you the option to report any problems you have with Windows 10 and GOG.com games, and help us make the experience best for everyone. If you'd like to help us out, you can do so through our public Mantis bug tracker:

--Use your GOG.com credentials to log in.
--Make sure that you are browsing issues the Windows 10 Game Compatibility Issues project, as opposed to the GOG Galaxy Client project.
--You can change your project through the drop-down menu in the upper-right hand corner of the page.
--You can access the Report Issue section from the upper menu if you are redirected to the home page.
--Inside, you'll find more detailed instructions on how to help us out and submit your bug.







We've done our best to bring GOG.com to Windows 10 and we're happy with the results so far, but if you're having problems with a game that should be compatible - contact us! Every bit of info helps us and your 30 Day Money Back Guarantee is there if we can't help you in turn.

FellSome: I agree! But even though most of those video games still support Windows XP, it has been only a year and a few months to prove that many future games would continue to support that operating system. Despite all this, I still believe that it would take more than 3 years and above before gaming developers to stop releasing their games that won't run on Windows XP.

Still, I hope GOG will keep on supporting Windows 7 for more years to come.

Johnathanamz: I still purchase PC versions of video games that have Windows XP support for my Windows XP PC.

Also the comment above you, gunsynd says he knows a person who still purchases PC versions of video games that have Windows XP support.

There are still a lot of PC gamers world wide who purchase PC versions of video games for Windows XP.

I'm pretty sure indie video game developers will be supporting Windows XP for more than 3 years.

gunsynd: Read the post,he said he has an extra PC with XP for offline use only.

Johnathanamz: Does he still purchase PC versions of video games that have Windows XP support on that PC? Or not purchase going online, but purchase on Windows 7 or Windows 8 and go play them on that Windows XP PC?
I can't answer for the other guy, but one of the most important features of "DRM-free" is that you can buy a game using (almost) any computer, download it once, and then use it whichever way you choose.

As for older OS's being compromised for security... in theory that's the case, however, if you visit only sites that are reliable, there shouldn't be any great risks involved, you don't really need a virus scanner or a firewall either if you know what you're doing.

My PC that has had Windows XP installed since 2001, well the PC got upgraded a few times has only got hacked twice in the 14 years I have been using that Windows XP PC.

I got hacked because of forgetting and dumb stuff I did that I forgot.

Unfortunately, even the most reliable sites can be compromised. And you do need a firewall to block incoming attempts at least, and also useful for system monitoring and control, if you have one of the sadly ever fewer ones that do allow such options and don't just force their own decisions on you.
XP support - nice. But what about MS-DOS support for MS-DOS games? That!
Great news.

paladin181: I just don't see why you wouldn't upgrade to 7 if you can afford to.
Because it removes or cripples so many features.

A poxy little Start Menu that can't find jack in.
Removal of the quick launch bar, replaced by pinning and shit non-standard menus.
Removal of the cascade windows feature.
Removal of the file types dialog.
No up button in Windows Explorer.
Stupid "libraries" view instead of My Computer.

What do you get in exchange? A higher DirextX version number and the most stupid of all warning dialogs, the UAC prompt.

Nice to see how preemptive and professional you at GoG are being with this major transition phase. Keeping the dialogue open and allowing users to post questions, problems and data is a great way to make it as smooth as possible. Thanks!

Fuck you. Newer Windows versions just make it even worse. The stupid Metro UI and settings being scattered between it and the desktop UI.
Only missing the actual win10 now...

Can't wait to upgrade my win7 so that I can go and reinstall cleanly...

Speak for yourself. I really am not excited by Windows 10. nor do I plan to switch to them. Will never install a system which does not allow me to turn off autoupdates!
Windows 7 will be supported till 2020 so I will be fine for the next 5 years. And who knows what will happen then.

I'm pretty fine with win7. I actually put money in it.
Hmm I notice that Settlers III is listed as not working but I happen to have part of a fix for that so is it best to report Settlers III on mantis as not working and then add a note or do it some other way?
