badger05 41 Posted August 13, 2012 I guess this means that I can't play the dayZ standalone. They can't take away my xp from me only from my cold dead hands. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SmashT 10907 Posted August 13, 2012 (edited) It's 2012, why are you not on windows 7, developers should not support 10+ year old operating systems. Edited August 13, 2012 by smasht_AU 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FlashFrame 23 Posted August 13, 2012 Windows 7 is fine... it's a hell of a lot better than Vista was, and brings back alot of the functionality from Windows XP into the newer age OS...Seriously though, XP is archaic and outdated... you can't even access DX11 features in games... it's not worth being stuck in the past.

jackogara 5 Posted August 13, 2012 I think XP is too old now.Though a great OS it is time to go.Many ways around it though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlindProphet 34 Posted August 13, 2012 I guess this means that I can't play the dayZ standalone. They can't take away my xp from me only from my cold dead hands.Microsoft doesn't support any version of XP anymore...why on earth would anyone else? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phoboss 224 Posted August 13, 2012 there isn't a single reason why you should/would/need to use XP over windows 7. its old and outdated. and has no advantage what so ever... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michaelvoodoo25 3120 Posted August 13, 2012 I had an issue with another title and I upgraded, I was just fortunate I had a system which was compatible, If you can upgrade It is worthwhile.For some the cost will be an issue, Pay for standalone and then OS. I'd buy Win 7 Now before standalone comes out.But times change alas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DarkwaveDomina 1099 Posted August 13, 2012 (edited) I guess this means that I can't play the dayZ standalone. They can't take away my xp from me only from my cold dead hands.As has been said, even Microsoft don't support XP any more. Let's ignore the fact that Windows 7 performs better and is more secure, let's all be stubborn retards and expose our machines to well known vulnerabilities. Herpty derp durp.It's 2013 soon. If there were any justice in the world all games would fully utilise 64-bit architecture and DirectX 11 as standard (barring OpenGL games, of course, since someone is bound to nitpick :P).
