Announcements - Path of Exile 3.6.0 will not support Windows XP or Vista - Forum

At least you still let us use Win7. I don´t have these problems privat because of Win 10, but on work there will be huge stress and arguments, because we have a lot of Win7 PCs and they will not be allowed to connect to the internet starting next year when microsoft stops supporting Win7...

I'm using Win7x64 and the only reason why i changed game settings from dx9+ to dx11 in 3.0 patch was new "dynamic resolution" option which was available only under dx11. In 2.6 i tried both dx9+ and dx11, and dx11 had worse performance. There was plenty of expansions since 3.0, i guess you did a lot of performance improvements for dx11 in them... Actually, as of 3.5. The only thing I know for sure is that DX9 was broken 1-3 leagues ago (I don't remember exactly which league) and I would really say not to use it unless you have a graphics card not compatible with DirectX 11. It did use to be decent and actually outperform DirectX 11 for me. However, that's the past.	Posted by Slicer9875#6180 on Jan 28, 2019, 1:16:46 AM Quote this Post

Ok, Im using XP pro 7... Win 10 is shit and is just the usual shit microsoft vomit each 2 or 3 years, full of security leaks and compromising your data and privacy. Where on earth have you seen that it's "faster" than XP (win 7 as the same XP core for reminding)? So you are forcing us into buying something from an another compagny in order to play the game we have already paid and played ? Is it "legal"? ... nothing	Posted by __Z__#6480 on Jan 28, 2019, 1:26:02 AM Quote this Post

Well you have to buy a PC from another company to play the game, so yes it's "legal" LUL Also use Win7 it's nice and faster than xp. Can't just stick to 30y old systems and expect them to perform well in the current age. Not ever gonna happen.	Posted by Squeezel#1037 on Jan 28, 2019, 1:30:49 AM Quote this Post

Too many sheit is happening on the screen during the fight, and shadows only make everything a way less visible.	Posted by alfapf#5389 on Jan 28, 2019, 1:33:00 AM Quote this Post

You cannot pay for PoE, so of course that is legal. If you decided to support GGG, that was your decision. I've supported GGG and they don't even support the OS I'm running PoE on.

I disabled shadows for visibility, not for performance. It kinda sucks not being able to see things around you.	Posted by Zophronios#0392 on Jan 28, 2019, 1:47:45 AM Quote this Post
