Yea, I disagree. It depends on several things honestly. My full AMD box was running ~60FPS in just about every zone (100+ in instances) and when I tried W10, it went to ~10FPS just about everywhere. That's after updating all drivers (removing all old drivers) and switching directx versions. NW does fine on intel boxes from the sound of it, but many many AMD boxes are having issues. After going back to W7 with the same drivers, I was back to 60FPS.

It will depend on various factors. The developers have been testing internally in order to make things as compatible as possible but the near infinite hardware and software combinations make it impossible to promise anything.
As always, those who switch to a New OS first will bear the brunt force of bug testing. It is not generally a bad idea to wait.
none of these games are gonna be compatable with windows 10 now are they ???
if something is working on windows 7 then it is working on windows 10 as well, im on windows 10 since March it works fine

I'm running with Windows 10 on 2 computers with 0 issues. No problems.
My opinions are my own. I do not work for PWE or Cryptic. - Forum Rules - Protector's Enclave Discord - I play on Xbox Any of my comments not posted in orange are based on my own personal opinion and not official.

I have Windows 10 on two computers, a laptop and a desktop, and there are a few issues on the desktop. Creative X-Fi drivers are not yet available from the company itself. The OS can use the old Windows 7 or 8/8.1 drivers, but after a shutdown or reboot, the system stops producing sound despite the fact that there is output being sent. An unofficial support pack, produced by daniel_k, provides a wide compatibility with Creative Soundblaster cards and full original feature support, but it doesn't seem to resolve this issue with no sound.
Edit: apparently Windows 10 is not synchronizing changes made in the audio engine with the driver. This specifically refers to the channels and the sample rate.
i use an FX4100 with a GTX560 and at least to me the game is running BETTER in windows10 than it was running in windows 7.
Interestingly enough, despite the sound issues, my desktop runs better on 10 then 7 as well. I receive less bit check errors from the ECC ram (32Gb of DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) ECC unregistered server memory operating in Quad) and the video cards run cooler in NW as well.
I think I might be the only one having a problem with the windows 10 upgrade and the server merge update for perfect world. My visual for the game keeps flashing in and out rapidly, and I am very frustrated and confused.
The driver issue with windows 10 and nvidia driver updater has been fixed

There are more than BIS players in this game RIP Real Tiamat, RIP Real Demogorgon RIP real Temple of the spider. Why remove non bis content to give to bis players ???? FORCING the majority of your player base to play 4 mod old dungeons and trial will have a bad result on player base Changes are getting so bad i would rather prefer no new changes (RIP ICE FISHING in winter fest)

Moving this to OT as it is referring to more than just Neverwinter.
I have been on Win10 since the 1st of August and have had no issues with Neverwinter, Star Trek Online, or Torchlight 2. I don't have any other PWE games installed though. Other MMOs I play also run great, as does Steam and Arc.
known issue with nvidia in quad sli with multi-monitor setup.
Quad SLI? I thought the known issue with Quad SLI is simply running Quad SLI, haha.
Kudos to you for going for it but I've heard way too many horror stories to go past 3 way.

Welcome to Windows 8.
As atrocious as the UI was, Windows 8 was more akin to an optimized version of Windows 7 with a horrible UI than a brand new OS. Windows 10 is not too far off being nothing more than an even more optimized version of Windows 7/8 with an improved UI (and privacy violations up the wazoo). There's a reason why I would tell people to upgrade to Windows 8 despite me being one of the most vocal haters of the tiles to the point I am pretty sure I will continue to use anti-tile nuclear bomb programs on Windows 10.
Windows 8 was actually a great OS. It just had the world's worst UI. So bad that I still think they should have nuked anything to do with the UI because the mere sight of tiles fills me with anger.
