Windows 10 & Q3/GTKradiant

Post by cityy »

Has anyone tried it? Does all of our ancient software run flawlessly?

Will see that after July 29.
I think it will run perfectly on Win10 (like on the older windows).

Don't worry, be happy! :)

I dont expect any issues really, if any, minor.

The only issue I've had with GTK1.4 moving from XP to 7 is that I need to specify the file type when I save, so instead of naming the file "test" I need to name it "test.map" no big deal really.

And you had to install GTKradiant into a "free-saving" other drive than the pretty much locked down C:\ one... i.e. I have it installed under D:\Games\ with all my other games along with Steam.

Come to think of it, since Windows 8 was pretty crappy, Windows 9 should have been next and "good" again... so where the heck did 10 suddenly come from?

It is related to OS version checks. Naming it Windows 9 would have caused issues with code looking for 95 or 98.

Besides, Windows 8.1 was essentially the same as Windows 7 :P
