Maybe Windows 10 version 2004 is a better choice

Why?

deathride58 commented 6 months ago

The absolute minimum requirement for dotnet 8 is Windows 10 1607 (Anniversary update, released back in 2016), for reference

VasilisThePikachu commented 6 months ago

Why?

Windows 8.1 is unsupported. Unsupported by Steam as of recently and not supported for dotnet 8 as Bhijn said.

It should not be up to us to support unsupported windows versions

Visne commented 6 months ago

As far as I know the warning message appears on every startup, and this makes sense for Windows 7 as it is practically impossible to play SS14 on it without some serious tweaking, but as this is not the case for Windows 8 (as far as I know) it seems quite annoying to show the warning every time when someone might still be able to play the game just fine.

Once again

dotnet 8 does not support 8.1

I figured that was "not supported" in the same sense as "Microsoft is not supporting Windows 7", i.e. "it just works but no one is going to help you if it breaks". If .NET 8 completely breaks SS14 on Windows 8 then it's fine.

deathride58 commented 6 months ago

Is there anyone on Windows 7 able to run SS14 at all? Support for both 7 and 8.1 were dropped simultaneously with the release of .NET 7, and we imagine things are probably more unstable on 7 and 8.1 with .NET 8

I think that if you update the root certificates you can play on Windows 7 just fine, but I'm not sure if anyone is doing it.

VasilisThePikachu commented 6 months ago

Honestly if you are going to the point where you have to update stuff like root certs in order to play your funny space game you may as well update to windows 10/11 or go to linux

Visne commented 6 months ago

I know, but I don't think that's an issue on Windows 8.
