Is anyone here running CO on Windows 10?

Or, more importantly can it run on 10?

    Yes. It runs on Win 7 or Win 8 and Win 8.1 it will run on Win 10.

    The only thing I am curious about is if Cryptic plans to utilize DirectX12 or not.

    Yes. It runs on 10. Lots of things that ran on 8/8.1 can be expected to run on 10 especially.
    Brou in Cryptic games.

    Yep gaming works better on win 8/8.1, and from everything I've read the performance improvement on Win 10 is even better.

    Huh, that's really good to hear.

    As I said, my big interest isn't so much that Champs will work with Win 10, I already know it will, been using Win8 since launch and it improved game times significantly. My big interest is if Cryptic plans to utilize DirectX12 which is suppose to have the capability to increase draw calls by nearly 10 times if used properly with some games, and actually allow developers better control over directx components and make direct use of GPU hardware.

    K. Thanks for the info. I feel better about reserving it now.

    I was running the preview builds from the fast update channel. Some of the early builds were too buggy for CO, but now that it's getting close to release, it runs great.

    Given how Neverwinter runs on the Xbox One, I think they just ported the DirectX 11 code, because it's a bit of a dog from all reports. DirectX 11 is an option on Xbox One, but it cripples the performance over the native API, which is more or less DirectX 12. I would hope Cryptic invests in DX12 if only to get that straightened out.

    Same here. But I wanted to know if it works on CO (among other things) before I reserved it

    but if it's out in a month, how will anyone know if it works on it. When nobody has it to check.

    Reserve it. It's free. If you don't like it you can always go back to a previous windows.
