Path of Exile 3.6.0 will not support Windows XP or Vista

So will GGG then upgrade the gameservers from Windows 95 to Win10? I think the old 286s are a little outdated by now.

For some reason my computer freezes from time to time when i use directx 11 in poe, i hope it won't be a problem later then.

Shadows in the darkness (not refering to delve) are just awful. Will have to check them again...

but the very MAIN reason to keep AWAY from DX11 is the lack of a REAL fullscreen mode, and I suspect this has not changed? The 'effect' that this shitty 'emulated' fullscreen 'mode' in fact renders as a background 'image' is the main cause of the preformance loss (non-exclusive rendering *), and also making simple tasks impossible like Alt-Tab switching between the game and other applications (fullscreen or windowed **).

If this decision will stay, it seems I'm out, a bit faster than expected.

*) if you have an application running in 'real' fullscreen, the only content the gpu has to render while this (game) is 'active' is the game itself. The 'alternative' mode (windowed fullscreen) makes the gpu also calculating EACH other window and screen content (even desktop and background etc) in parallel, even as 'invisible'.

**) if you Alt-Tab out of a windowed-fullscreen task, this task is just replacing the desktops background instead of minimizing the 'window'.

So, as obvious, this is less a decision about 'likeness' but shear usability.

Stop using wifi, then, and get a much better PC, exile.

You buying?

(Seriously, even if you've really never gotten out enough to meet anyone who doesn't have money to throw at every single problem, there's no need for the smugness).

Yea when people say "get a better pc" i wonder if they have bills or other responsibilities because i aint bout to just blow 1-3k on a new pc to play a game. This update doesn't affect me but i hate that response as well.

What about the people like me on Linux.?

And Windows 10 has been the best, the most stable, and the fastest by a huge margin.

Anyone who parrots anti Windows 10 comments without actually running it, are idiots.

How much did Microsoft pay you for advertising? :D

Okay tell us right now: When will Windows 7 Support end here?

Because if you end compatibility WHILE you are not adding LINUX support, you can be sure, that you lose a BIG BIG amount of players!

I am never ever using Windows 10 Spyware sending my data 1 to 1 to Tel Aviv... Fuck right off when this happens, I am out.

GGG needs to add Linux support!

they likely granted him a win10 enterprise license, the only version you can disable all the built in spyware cause businesses can't be arsed to have their pc's operating systems sending content outside their own networks.

the more i read this thread the more i think about the "don't you guys have phones?" can't they atleast specify what pc specs are needed to run the game without lowering the resolution used for desktop?

For sure quite a bit, I MUST use crapwindows 10 in office, and it is 10 times worse than Windows 7 (I am running 7 on my private PC)

When the Support for Windows 7 ends, and GGG does not have support for Linux by then, then Good Bye PoE
