SkateZilla Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Ive been using it for the past two days as the final consumer version and DCS seems to run very well now. I dont know if my 4 gig video cards with DX12 are now running at 8 gigs being as DCSW is DX10, but the dashboard sure seems more clear and Im liking it !!! They are 4GB still, Pooled memory resources in MGPU configurations is part of DX12, and isnt "released" to public SDK yet. DCS is DX9.0c Windows 10 Pro, Ryzen 2700X @ 4.6Ghz, 32GB DDR4-3200 GSkill (F4-3200C16D-16GTZR x2), ASRock X470 Taichi Ultimate, XFX RX6800XT Merc 310 (RX-68XTALFD9) 3x ASUS VS248HP + Oculus HMD, Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS + MFDs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backy 51 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I've had zero problems running DCS World on Windows 10 Pro. I did an upgrade of Win 8.1 Pro Media Center, not a clean install. However, be advised, the Win 10 migration ate several of my MiG-21 activations. I've reported it to Leatherneck, so we'll see if that gets fixed. No other aircraft modules had any issues that I can tell for now. MS Edge is a little funky, but overall, I'd say Microsoft did a great job with this upgrade process. Relatively painless. I've done seven Win 10 installs without a major problem including on a 2006 era Dell laptop. My advice: jump in, the Windows 10 water is just fine - no sharks sighted yet! ;) I don't need no stinkin' GPS!

Priller Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I notice an increment of 8-10 fps on full hd and all graphic options set to max. (4770 stock freq, 770 dcuII, ssd evo 840, 64gb ram) A 4770 only has a dual memory controller and would only have 4 dimm slots. So unless you are running 4x 16GB ECC UDIMMS which are fairly rare. They are 4GB still, Pooled memory resources in MGPU configurations is part of DX12, and isnt "released" to public SDK yet. DCS is DX9.0c Part of it is sorta of true. It has to be written into the game specifically by the dev in order to use it or it can still use AFR. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BravoM5 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I used a direct download instead of using the force method: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 That's actually what I ended up doing, I was reading around and found the link to the download and went from there. It was pretty easy, I like the aesthetics of it so far. I'll have to try DCS World on it tomorrow.:) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revvin Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Updated my laptop last Thursday from Windows 8.1 to 10, no issues. I downloaded the Windows 10 ISO from Microsoft and did a clean install last night but it didn't recognise my Windows 7 key so went online to Microsoft's tech support and they gave me a brand new key, no questions asked. The funny thing was the CSR wanted to remote access my PC to help and sent me a link to do this but it wouldn't work in IE 11 or their new Edge browser so the Microsoft tech asked if I could install Firefox or Chrome and use them instead lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tintifaxl Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 For me it wasn't working after updating from Win8.1 to Win10. Black screen with busy mouse cursor and music playing in the background instead of the menu screen. Reinstalling DX9 and the VC++ libs, running repair and deleteting the user settings didn't help at all. As I don't play DCS 1.2 anymore I'll just do clean install when 1.5 is released and take it from there.

Kaktus29 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 i don't like Win10 for simple reason, its a real NSA tool, what microsoft did with this "free" windows for all is bring you a big 'ol snoop program right to your nose.. from cameras, microphones, web site history, pictures, videos, passwords, it will now EVERYTHING.. and somehow we should trust it cuz ..you know..logic?!.. i'm just afraid they going to shut down Win7 support if not many ppl switch to "free" win10.. and simply force them to switch..

Chief1942 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) MS is scamming us. Within one month of upgrading. Yes, IF you revert to your previous operating system before the 30 days from installation of Win10. You get to use your "key" for that install once. After that, if you don't purchase Win10 via the market, you will be without either OS. Also, in the fine print there seems to be a situation that if you make a hardware change to your computer that requires a reinstallation of the OS, you will NOT be able to reuse the previous OS "key" for either the free Win10. or your previous OS. It is also suggested that Microsoft will at some near point delete all the keys for previous OS's from their inventory, thereby forcing people into purchasing Win10. I know this all sounds like some conspiracy theory, but all that I just posted came from a reputable website that has been around as long as flight sims. When they talk, most pay attention. I would link to the article but then I would possibly be violating the rules here on ED Forums.
