PE_Tigar Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Well, since a tech preview was available to all for some time now, I assume someone should've tried it out in ED I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Kurr Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I tried DCS World on the developer preview for a while, but reinstalled Windows 7 a few weeks ago. Main reasons for dumping Windows 10: - Extremely low frame rates (average of 6-7 fps with all settings on LOW, compared to 24-30 fps with settings HIGH on the same PC running Windows 7) - Very aggressive auto-update, reboots your PC without warning, and renders it unusable while the update is in progress (even when it is supposed to be running in the background) I know that the first issue may well have to do with it being a preview and not optimized for anything, but for now, I'll stick with Windows 7.

Tello Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Will there be a performance jump if going from win7 to win10 - As I understand Win7 users will finally get the chance to experince better Direct X. I don't like the idea that I can just "mod" win7 to win 10. I like fresh clean installs. Maybe it is all in my mind. But it always feel better to wipe the drive clean and start all over.. Oh and don't forget to use ninite - Great tool [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwd2 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 DCS World 1.2.X is working with DirectX 9, DCS World 2.X will work with DirecX 11 - the graphic interface will boost your FPS (hopefully) not the OS.

JaBoG32_Prinzartus Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Hi to all 07/29 seem that Win 10 will be free to all windows users but DCS how work with it ? :) bye I did a quick dcs test with some preview build win 10 and performance seemed to be similiar to win 7. It will likely not cause any issue migrating to Win 10 for us DCS users, IMHO.

SnowTiger Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 How Might WINDOWS 10 affect DCS World/Modules etc ? Like I'm sure many other Windows 7 and 8 users have, I have received a Free "Get Windows 10" Upgrade Offer in my Task Bar/Tray. Here is a LINK to some relevant information. It is a free upgrade to millions who already use Win 7 64 SP1 and Win 8. Those who qualify probably already see the GW 10 (otherwise listed as GWX) icon. This update is supposed to begin July 29th. Anyway, I am always skeptical about Windows Upgrades. I usually wait a full year after a new version release before I bother upgrading. This is to ensure that all my software and hardware is compatible AND I actually like the format (eg: I do NOT like the look or feel of Win 8 so I will never upgrade to that version). But right now I am more concerned with how GWX will affect DCS products ? Is DCS/ED aware of the latest Windows upgrade ? Will the current version of DCS World and/or the up-coming DCS World 2 work in Win10 ? Does anyone know ? SnowTiger:joystick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
void Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Windows 10 brings the DX12 to the table. Until DCS will be updated with DX12 there will be no gain with Win 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkateZilla Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Windows 10 brings the DX12 to the table. Until DCS will be updated with DX12 there will be no gain with Win 10. I think he was asking how DCS will run on Windows 10 as a whole, nothing to do with DX12. Ps AMD and nVidia are both putting out Lowered Overhead DX11 Drivers for WinX. So yeah there actually might be a small improvement.

Oh and don't forget to use ninite - Great tool No. Just like going from Vista to 7 to 8.1. No difference in frame rates. DX12 won't help DCS because DCS is a DX9 game. If we are lucky we will have a DX11 version of DCS out by the end of the year long after DX12 is released. DX12 would probably help DCS but I don't see the engine being upgraded to DX12 anytime in the next few years given how long it has taken ED to create a DX11 engine. For games that support DX12 you may see a small performance increase. Depends on the kind of game and how well it uses DX12. DX12 probably won't become the norm for a while, so there is no reason to rush to Win 10 if you're happy with 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowTiger Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Thanks to all who replied. It appears that there at least wont be any adverse affects associated with the Windows version upgrade. That is what I am trying to ascertain. It would be great to get a response from ED/DCS too. SnowTiger:joystick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pj Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I would always suggest waiting a few months after a new OS is released for the bugs to be worked out first. Since this is free to Win7 and up users, I intend to install it first on this old pc that I mostly only use for browsing, sim pc later.

Joao611 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 (edited) I use Win8.1 Pro x64, having Win10 Tech Preview on a 50GB HDD partition for testing purposes. I've only tried War Thunder in it several months ago, it worked just fine. I should get to try DCS and other games, though. About another subject in this same topic about performance improvements when going to Windows 10: IIRC, Windows 7 has DX11 support, but only a few features of DX11.1 and maybe(?) DX11.2. If DCS will use the technology of DX11.1 and DX11.2, people upgrading from Win7 to Win10 could get to see performance/graphical improvements. And then there's obviously the optimization of Windows itself, lower-end PC's can get some performance improvements if the OS is better optimized. I tried DCS World on the developer preview for a while, but reinstalled Windows 7 a few weeks ago. Main reasons for dumping Windows 10: - Extremely low frame rates (average of 6-7 fps with all settings on LOW, compared to 24-30 fps with settings HIGH on the same PC running Windows 7) - Very aggressive auto-update, reboots your PC without warning, and renders it unusable while the update is in progress (even when it is supposed to be running in the background) I know that the first issue may well have to do with it being a preview and not optimized for anything, but for now, I'll stick with Windows 7. Wait for the release folks. Don't scrap your Win 7, 8, 8.1 yet. Aim for August/September. You can just install Win10 Tech Preview in another partition and keep your current OS, lol. That way, you choose which OS to start when you boot your PC. Edited June 2, 2015 by Joao611 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
