moonsense715 Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 I'd like to know what OS everyone is using (especially you, players).We'll use this information to see what OS we need to support in the future.E.g. I heard some people still use XP but scripts development will not support it in the future.(If there are a lot of XP users, and they demand it, we might launch a legacy game version of Reborn.)I myself am on Windows 7 and still prefer it over the newer ones.What do you use? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ-Stalker Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 A legacy release being kept aside sounds as a good idea regardless of the outcome. A bit of nostalgia, really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plokite_Wolf Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Currently at Win10, but I'm seriously considering rolling back to Win7.What do you mean by OS support? We're talking about an engine that was designed to run even on Windows 95, so what weird stuff are you going to recode to break compatibility with XP? :eek: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralCamo Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Legacy version of Reborn What? That's news to me. Why break XP? 5.x relies on libraries and compilers provided by Visual Studio 2013. These items do not support XP, and to add support for XP, it would mean a sharp reduction in performance and feature loss. Remember that 3.x broke compatibility with 98, and 4.x broke compatibility with 2000, so this isn't the first time this has ever happened. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plokite_Wolf Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Why change VS to a new version when the W3D engine won't receive any significant/substantial changes? Hell, everyone still uses vanilla Renegade skeletons, base models and animations for infantry and the most unique thing that was made in all of W3D's history was the secondary function (Q) key. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralCamo Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Actually, it will be receiving significant changes. The exact changes I am not allowed to disclose yet, but they involve our graphics coders. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyryle Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 I have a desktop and laptop that has Windows 10 installed on each. I also have an old HP desktop from 2005 with XP installed but I only ever have to use that if my dad wants to make a mix CD of various vinyl audio rips. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plokite_Wolf Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Windows 8.1, but soon to be Windows 10. Windows 7 (although to be honest, I wish I kept Vista), soon to be Windows 10. You'll get past the initial "wow" very soon, trust me. As far as old games go, don't upgrade until Win7 and Win8.1 lose support (which is still a relatively long way). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonsense715 Posted September 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Well, if nobody is playing Reborn on Windows XP, then I guess there will not be any migration problems in the future. Otherwise, please speak up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isaac The Madd Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) WindowsXp, 2003 Gateway desktop. It has like 400MB of RAM (but it will not show my an exact number anywhere) It is probably just to old to run TSR. Also the error I get when trying to run it.

Einstein Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 oh lol. Well it will in system properties (start -> right click my computer -> properties, OR start -> run -> sysdm.cpl), but yeah that won't run TSR haha.... If the RAM is the same kind in your other PC, it might work here though. Or since the other one was the better PC, you might try switching the power supplies to make the other one work again for a while. Good chance that they have the same type unit inside. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaac The Madd Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 I don't think they have the have same unit as they had different manufacturers (Gateway and Dell) and were made six years apart. Plus it had an oddball power supply that Dell custom makes (or used to) for office computers. If they do work together they certainly won't fit in that notebook-like case. Also apparently it has 512 Megabyte RAM, close enough the point is the newer one was old and slow and this is extremely old and slow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
