WinterSnowfall: ...
Don't be shy to throw rotten tomatoes at me, I'm wearing my overalls.
nightcraw1er.488: I have all three Kohan games hardcopy, not got round to playing them much yet (suprisingly), but I know I had a few issues getting them to run, you might need a nocd to get rid of the copy protection on the disc if your on Win10 and it was a pain tracking down.
I Broke an original C&C Red Alert disc :(. I can play the community remake, but they 're-balanced' the game making it not feel at all like the original and in my honest opinion making it quite crap.
I'm just glad I've got my supreme commander with forged alliance still even if spamming units like your throwing money at a problem to make it go away isn't my idea of strategy.
Seems Dawn Of War with all expansions held up well too.
Leucius: Slightly off topic: If you're using Win 7 or earlier and not interested in DX 12, there's not a lot of reason to upgrade to 10 yet. The one thing it DOES do well though, is when something goes wrong, it is generally really good at fixing itself.
WinterSnowfall: A good piece of advice I also backed in the early days of Win 10, especially during the "free upgrade" window. I am using Win7 and I plan to keep using it as long as possible, mostly because I frequently play older games... and on Win 10 you never really know what will work and what won't, if it works how long it will keep working etc.
The problem with Win10 as I see it though isn't one of compatibility, it's the fact the direction they want to move in is to have everything submitted through the windows store, like an apple app; that will ultimately screw everyone over in the end.
I can tell you personally from my experiences with it; linux is not ready to take the helm; it's not mainstream enough and is going backwards in some ways (UBUNTU fixed desktop style) that people aren't going to have the ability to simply jump ship.
I'm no simp I can get games working through the equivalent of a windows shortcut; it's simply that the support is not there.
Only certain games can be easily run & certainly not the majority needed to make it viable for gamers.
