Title: Fuck
Post by: Cheesicle on September 30, 2011, 08:34:14 AM
Yeah, I'm probably super late, but I just found out BF3 won't run on XP. Which just ruined my whole day.

I spent half the day downloading the fucking Beta, now I find out it won't even fucking work.

Goddamnit

Nice overuse of lol. And I don't think they didn't lose half of their potential PC fanbase because they only have Windows XP.

But ontopic:

You know, even though it still may be reliable, Windows XP is 9-10 years old now. That's almost as if you're saying "Why the fuck won't Crysis work on mah Windows 2000/98". Seriously, technology changes over time, Frostbite 2 probably uses features that you can't get with Windows XP.

Unless you upgrade, you're going to encounter a lot of problems in PC's modern gaming.

It's because Frostbite 2 requiered DX10.1 minimum, and WinXP only goes up to dx9.

Which is a pain in the ass because mine supports DX10, but not 10.1 :l

My friend also had a problem with ATI drivers on XP, they would simply fail to install for no reason. He did a complete wipe of the hard drive and tried again with no luck, but upgrading to 7 fixed it.

Maybe you just under use the word? Of course it means A lost of clients, out of 100 gamers i know only like 20 of them updated because last time windows came out with an update it was a complete and utter failure (Windows vista) now people just stick to what works or they can't afford to update so thats 80 people they just lost.

"you're going to encounter a lot of problems in PC's modern gaming"

In the last ten years this is the first time I've come across a game that i might play and i can't! so I'm not too concerned I'm not going to waste another $1,000+ just to get a $50 game.

When i upgrade i don't just buy the CD I buy a whole new computer "because thats how i rollz" But srsly if you're going to update you're better off buying new hardware at the same time.

"I'm spending $100, so I might as well spend $1000. It only makes sense. Except it doesn't, because then the game costs to much."

It does whats the point of upgrading if everything else in your computer is like ten years old? So my software would be able to run the game but i doubt my hardware would be able too.

Snivy, Please enlightening me to what i  contradicted in my OP i said i wasn't getting the game. i'm still not getting the game so i haven't contradicted anything. Srsly why do you always come into a thread and throw out an insult and leave? It's quite annoying. No one else in this thread is calling anyone names/insulting but you seem to always think you have too.

Yes Magic,
because those statistics count schools, families who don't use their PC for things other than work, and grandmothers.

Anyone who put the money in for a gaming PC,  the ones who would even TRY playing these games, would aim for Dx10.

Dx10 isn't supported by XP.

Ergo, people who actually want to play modern games have a card that AT LEAST supports directX 10, and will have or have already upgraded to windows 7.


Why the fuck have I been acting like such an asshole recently?

You are correct with that however lots of gamers are kids therefor its not up to them if they upgrade or not, it's up to their parents/legal guardians and considering the way the economy has been for the last few years i can honestly tell you they had other things on their minds then "Better upgrade my child's computer"
