Has anyone been able to get the Sword of the Necromancer Demo to work on Windows 7? It says on the game card it should work in Win7, but when I run the game it returns a "The procedure entry point MFCreateDXGIDeviceManager could not be located in the dynamic link library MFPlat.DLL."

I looked up that error and it brought me to this site:
https://steamcommunity.com/app/1017900/discussions/1/1635292137554231508/

It says that error occurs only when played on a Win7 machine. Does the game dev know about this?

Minimum supported OS is win 8. I would say support ticket.

Well the game card for the demo said Windows 7. So the game dev needs to know that it doesn't work on Win7.

That’s why I suggest a support ticket, to raise the issue.
