Just an FYI:
The adventures of Hostile Waters: Anteus Rising and Windows 10
I decided to have another play-through of this incredible game, and discovered it performed horrendously on this new windows 10 beast. It was especially evident during tutorial text and post mission briefing text, but even when little text was involved, the performance would deteriorate throughout playing.
After a lot of faffing around with different resolutions and compatibility settings all to no avail, I just disabled the entire compatibility thing altogether, except 'Run as administrator'. Ran smooth as silk. Tried the highest 4:3 resolution I could use (1920 x 1440), ended up with only a quarter of the screen showing. Fixed that by checking the 'Override high DPI scaling behavior' option.
TLDR:
If it runs like crap in Windows 10, try the compatibility settings shown in the attachment.
