Nosebleed Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 Probably, it's always been this way, older VNs will always suffer with time, although this doesn't hold true for VNs released in recent years as much so I think these should be mostly fine since they were released with more recent operating systems which Windows 10 should be fairly compatible with. But I'm certain there will eventually be fixes for potential issues with older VNs as well. I remember Ever17 not running on Windows 8 but that eventually got fixed. Quote
wyldstrykr Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 what about i do the opposite question: With the upcoming release of new VN's , do you think that some VN's might have problems running with windows XP? Quote
Yuuko Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 With the upcoming release of new VN's , do you think that some VN's might have problems running with windows XP? Yes. Also adding that I still can't make ITH work on w10 and so couldn't some other people either. ITHVNR and VNR work fine though. Quote
sanahtlig Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 I don't expect Windows 10 to break many VNs that work in Windows 8. Windows 8 broke games that use the KiriKiri engine because it has DRM that was specifically designed to only work with contemporary versions of Windows. In other words, the engine was defective by design. Quote

And don't expect it to work in the future either, ITH is no longer being updated since 2012, hence why it's starting to become more and more flawed as Windows gets newer updates and the more recent games even sometimes crash with it. ITHVNR is a recent project which is still in development, hence why it's working. Quote

madvanced Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 Any VN that works on 7 and 8.1 seems to work on 10, at least that has been my experience with it. For text hookers just look at what kiriririri wrote. Quote
douggle Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 I've been running Windows 10 for a while, there are a few vns that do not work, but most do. Quote
ezyo22 Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 i'm using windows 10 developer preview right now and have no trouble with most of old VN Quote
Yeah Way Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 You can just run it as if you were using an older version with the compatability settings. xD It's not a non-issue. Quote
Bolverk Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 I don't think there should occur any major issues. But you might need to find some new workarounds for problems that happens. Main thing if you got a win 7 and have had that for a long time. The most new things I've had to do with win 8. Is to search around for win 8 support patches. I think I had to do that with Ruitomo iirc. That didn't make a lot of sense at the time. But few vn's need a support patch. I don't think all vn's got a win 8 support patch that might need it. So errr. Old vn's 'might' have a higher likelihood to not work on win 10. I am guessing that will happen anyway. Quote
kooolm Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Windows 10 is about to be released and I wonder if I will encounter any vn related troubles with it. Has anyone tried it yet? I mean, the pre-release version or whatever it is called. Quote
Kururin Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Some will work some wont, just dualboot with win 7 or put win 7 in a vmware to play older games Quote
Yuuko Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Only VN that doesn't work for me is Osadai. Didn't bother to even try to fix it though so there might be a way to get it working. I don't have any other VNs at the moment that use Kirikiri engine so I don't know if that is the problem. Edit: Nvm it has easy fix. Quote
Yuno-Gasai Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Honestly I hope it will be better than windows 8 and 8.1 but from what I've heard it seems to be the case so it shouldn't. Quote
Suzu Fanatic Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 Not sure I will touch the free version - the idea of forced updates doesn't appeal. Heard it's already causing troubles with device drivers. Besides, nobody has to hop on it right away, if you're eligible for the free version - you have a full 12 months starting the day it launches to decide. Quote
Fred the Barber Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 I'll be upgrading all my computers as soon as the upgrade becomes available for them (I guess they're rolling out the free upgrade thing in waves right now?). I'm the early adopter type. I don't really expect any problems, but I guess we'll see. If anything, they'll probably be the kind of problems that can be resolved by dropping a local copy of version.dll into the game EXE folder Quote
Suzu Fanatic Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Not really a VN subject, but anyone running win 10 may want to look this over: http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/209208-windows-10s-new-wifi-sense-shares-your-wifi-password-with-facebook-outlook-and-skype-contacts Thought I'd post it for you guys, make sure you're not broadcasting you wifi pw to some random facebook guy/etc. Quote
Decay Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 I've heard that Air and Kanon don't work on 8.1 and 10, is this true? I'm actually in the process of playing these currently. Quote
kyrt Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 I've heard that Air and Kanon don't work on 8.1 and 10, is this true? I'm actually in the process of playing these currently. Kanon seems to work fine for 8.1 at least for me. On a side note I'd be very cautious of windows 10 there is a lot to dislike...I find it odd that they keep trying to push newer less secure designs on us when most people think 7 is the best microsoft will ever be capable of.

douggle Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 to clarify: Win 10 will launch on July 29th globally. to clarify #2: Win 10 is now on consumer build phase. I know this because I'm an insider myself. Latest build is quite polished and the issues are minimal. I exported my VN collection to my win 10 partition and so far 100% of them are working. Here's the list: * Chaos Head - flawless * Da Capo - Flawless * Da Capo 2 - Flawless + better performance than on 8 * ef the first tale - Flawless + audio no longer gives problems * ef the latter tale - Flawless * Fate Stay Night - Flawless * Go Go Nippon! - Flawless * Muv Luv (Series) - Flawless * I/0 - Flawless * Kanon - Flawless * Clannad - Flawless * Air - Needs running as admin * Ever 17 - Needs running in compat mode for win 7 * Little Busters - Flawless * Little Busters EX/ME - Flawless * Da Capo 3 - Flawless * Koisuru Nasu Love Resort - Flawless * To Heart2 - Needs running in compat mode for win 7 * Hoshisora e kakaru Hashi - Flawless * Noble Works - Flawless * Majikoi - Flawless * Majikoi S - Flawless * Majikoi A-1 - Flawless * Hoshimemo - Flawless * Hoshimemo EH - Same issues as other OS's (requires changing time zone to JP) fast fix = AlphaROMdiE * Osadai - Flawless, (no longer needs win8 patch) * Osadai FD - Flawless * Rewrite - Flawless * Harvest festa - Flawless * Shuffle! - Flawless * Really! Really? - Flawless * Imouto Paradise - Flawless + better performance than on 8 * Boob wars (series) - Flawless + better performance than on 8 * Princess evangile - Flawless + better performance than on 8 * Yu-No - Flawless * Duel Savior - Requires running in compat mode win xp * Come see me tonight (series) - flawless * Sharin no Kuni - NoDVD fix no longer works, requires ISO to be mounted when playing * Sharin no Kuni FD - Same as above * Dengeki Stryker - Flawless * Snow Sakura - Flawless * Stein's Gate - Flawless * Grisaia (series) - Flawless + better performance than on 8 This is my personal collection, there may be more VN's that are compatible but I will add them when I test them again for core release of win 10. Both Sharin no Kuni titles work fine for me in win 10 no need for an iso or anything CCCP and Kawaii pack are not the ones I would recommend honestly. If you want my personal choice and recommendation: http://downloads.ddigest.com/software/download.php?sid=1089&ssid=0&did=5 Best codec pack IMO, lots of customisation, native rendering support and stability. I use KCP but I don't use MPC at least not on this laptop, I run mpv. works beautifully on the desktop I use MPC In regards to duel savior how did you get it to work without a directdraw error? Quote
