It's not free anymore last I recall, and a quick check seems to imply this is still the case.

It's still free if you're willing to say you're handicapped on an online checkbox question on Microsoft site with no verification, and already have a legit earlier Windows installed. I'm also assuming that people still arguing about Windows 7 on online game forums in 2017 have some sort of mild autism anyway, so it wouldn't even be a morally bad answer. Let's talk about the game though. Rad Russian fucked around with this message at 19:40 on Jul 11, 2017 |

It's also trivially slower than windows 7/8.1 but gently caress reality amirite guys? Microsoft is an exquisite flower that needs our undying devotion. https://www.techspot.com/amp/review/1042-windows-10-vs-windows-8-vs-windows-7/

Is there any way to play this game before it comes out in early access / beta / whatever, or has that boat already sailed?

Kylra posted:I'm curious about this stuff generally so I read it, but did you even really read this article? Like even that article says at the end it's basically equivalent performance in most regards, and Win10 seems to barely edge to the top on the games' FPS charts. I did, except I didn't just skip to the conclusion and looked at the real world benchmarks, ignoring the artificial benchmarks because they're meaningless and looking at the gaming benchmarks at 1080p because who cares about 1050p? Real world scenarios where 10 is Slower: Excel, Firefox, Chrome, WinRAR, Photoshop, 7-zip, Handbrake, Hybrid x265/x264 conversion, Hitman Absolution, Tomb Raider Faster: MS Edge, Bioshock Infinite, Metro Redux, Crisis 3 I did say "trivially" slower, which I think is a fair characterization of the OS as a whole, especially in contrast to the "Significantly improves performance" thrown about previously in the thread (+4fps best case scenario in Metro Redux, -4 fps worst case in Hitman)

Oh, I thought you meant "trivially, it is slower". But still, it very much seems to me like the margins are small and varied enough in most of those that's it's kind of a toss up as to whether it's meaningful as a performance indicator over a larger data set. This is even more telling when you consider it to be slower when it is slower than either other operating system, and not only when it is slower than both. Also it's not consistent which one is fastest/slowest on most of those tests. And I'm not using 7zip or winrar constantly enough to really be concerned about even a 25% dip in applications of that sort either vs basically everything else. Neither are most people I'd imagine. The main factor that is unstated would be DX12 vs DX11 performance re: video games.

There's no reason to assume that has magically changed in the last few months. I'm sorry if her marketing department lied to you, I'm sure she had a good reason.

Is it really Massively Multiplayer? Seems more like instanced cooperative multiplayer. I get that it's all online but I don't really see this as a traditional MMO, it's more along the vein of Elite: Dangerous if anything.

From your own link, there's pretty much no difference between Windows 7/8/10. https://www.techspot.com/amp/review/1042-windows-10-vs-windows-8-vs-windows-7/page6.html And in hist post, it shows a decent bump of minimum framerate, which is just as important (if not more so) than average.

That all 3 OSes are the same thing is my entire point. This is the actual link his benchmarks came from though, which is far more indicative than the screenshot he cherry picked: http://www.pcgamer.com/windows-10-game-mode-tested-good-for-minimum-fps-bad-for-multitasking/ From that link: "... in my earlier testing I found little to no benefit—and a few cases where Game Mode actually dropped performance." I wonder why he didn't include the link to the full article.

In fact, at a quick glance, no one was saying it had a significant performance benefit over Windows 7/8. What they were saying is that there are a certain set of APIs that are only available in Windows 10, including Direct X 12, which would explain why a developer would limit their game to Windows 10. Also, I don't really care what your article says, both sets of benchmarks that they provide show a general trend of a performance bump, except for on a high-end PC, where it still has a benefit on minimum FPS in most cases, in other cases is a wash, and in one benchmark shows a decrease in minimum FPS by 5%. None of these are good arguments against using Windows 10. There are other more credible, although silly, arguments against using Windows 10, but gaming performance is not one of them.

Good grief. Come on everyone. Do we really need a pedantic pick apart on game fps? No one is fellating Windows 10 (not even sure how you could do this physically unless you had it on USB) people are showing information recorded by people checking the differences in Operating Systems. Windows 10 is the future of Microsoft's operating system so we just have to get used to it if we do not like it. It doesn't need to become some bizarre slapfights over who has the YOSPOS. Thank you kindly, everyone. Please enjoy this Rare Pirate adventure.
