KLR Rico Posted November 28, 2014 Posted November 28, 2014 I've been running the W10 tech preview for a while now and it seems to be holding up just fine. The only quirk that I've found is that I can't use the hotkeys for my headtracking while that application is in the background. That means that I have to alt-tab out of DCS to recenter or pause headtracking. But TBH, I've done zero research on how to solve this. i5-4670K@4.5GHz / 16 GB RAM / SSD / GTX1080 Rift CV1 / G-seat / modded FFB HOTAS
Fabri91 Posted November 28, 2014 Posted November 28, 2014 That works fine on my system, but the Saitek profiler is broken in thhe latest build, i.e. one button press results in a very fast repetition of the programmed key press. This is an issue normally due to a very specific teamspeak setting, but I do not have that program installed currently.

Turn it off and see if this fixes the problem with head tracking keys.

(insert predictable pattern result here) I don't really agree with this. It's not because it's metro UI that it isn't working OK. I made the switch from 7 to 8, played around a bit with the metro interface, installed a 3th party startbutton proggy + to make it boot directly to regular desktop (last part isn't needed anymore since 8.1) and i never looked back. This is the first OS that's installed for over a year without the need to re-installing it, says enough about it's stability.

txmtb Posted November 28, 2014 Posted November 28, 2014 To make the new version APPEAR to be more substantial than it is.. (And sometimes to move as far away from a previous kludge as possible.. ) In this case I think probably BOTH I would say you are right, most people listened to all the negativity surrounding Win 8 and never gave it a shot. Granted at first you have to use an add-on if you wanted the desktop and start menu back. 10 looks and acts more like Win 7 so people can make the move without thinking there are issues. As it is, 8.1 is rock solid IMO and as chiclidfan stated, I can't tell you the last time I saw the metro screen.

This is my general impression from opinions of people I know IRL and some articles I read over the internet. .
Mustang Posted November 28, 2014 Posted November 28, 2014 To me Windows 7 looks so dated after using 8.1 for so long :)
Haukka81 Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 Windows 7 is best this far, same install about 3year's for now and zero problems so far. Maybe i get windows 10 for next -haukka81 Oculus CV1, Odyssey, Pimax 5k+ (i5 8400, 24gb ddr4 3000mhz, 1080Ti OC ) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
