Windows 10?

squeebee · **Posted:** Tue Jul 21, 2015 2:42 pm

Ok... I'm planning on waiting to install Windows 10. I want to make sure that all my major apps still work with it before I do.

Anyone know about Uru? Any issues with the possible upgrade?

Thanks!

MOULa worked fine on the earlier development builds that I tried. I don't see why it won't. I haven't tried CC on it, though.

Note: see here the updated version of this post.

While we’re at it, here’s a small recap of the current situation of the other games (partly inspired by recent posts in the japanese section). Links to the respective Cyan forum posts, and to MacOS issues when possible. There are a bunch of helpful patchers here, but they’re all in french :lol:

Myst

Copy QuickTime.qts from the 4.1 CD into the Myst folder. Run in Windows 95/ME compatibility, disable Visual Themes and run as Administrator.

OR (also for MacOS) use ScummVM (the development build), by copying the required files in a folder of your choice.

OR use the GOG or Steam version, which are patched for recent Windows versions.

realMyst

Should install fine (most if not all of the Cyan forum posts are actually related to the ME edition). EDIT: this patcher (direct link) might help with the original CD version.

The MacOS disk likely won’t work with recent versions of the OS, EDIT: but try this patcher (direct link).

In both cases, there are a GOG and a Steam versions that likely work better.

Riven

Copy QuickTime.qts (e.g. from here) into the Riven folder. Run in Windows 98/ME compatibility, disable visual themes, disable desktop composition, disable display scaling on high DPI settings and run as Administrator.

OR (also for MacOS) use ScummVM (the development build), by copying the required files in a folder of your choice.

OR use the GOG or Steam version, which are patched for recent Windows versions.

Exile

Should install fine. Here there’s a list of updaters.

For MacOS, here there’s an updated installer.
OR you can try ResidualVM.

Revelation

Should install fine. Here there’s a list of updaters.

For MacOS, here there’s an updated installer.

End of Ages

Here (direct link) there’s a patcher.

For MacOS, here there’s an updated installer.
OR you can try these wrappers.

Uru (offline)

Should install fine, but check these tips from the GoW.

For MacOS, a wrapper is likely your best option.

I speak French too

The instructions on how to install them are in French. They were published on a French forum.

korovev was right.

Perhaps it’s Canadian ‘French’?

Lol! Sorry everyone...Couldn't help it. :oops:

Ly and I were discussing Latin and the various differences of the Romance languages, long ago. One of them being the divergence between European French and that which is spoken in Canada circa the late 18th century.

(We didn't get into the Louisiana French-creole...We just don't chat that often.)

Nonsense. The first thing Windows 10 asked me after it installed was IF it could send these things to Microsoft. This sounds like a load of FUD designed to scare people.

You want to turn off the build in antivirus? Oookay. :roll:

In my experience it's pretty good and only fires on real problems.

Why are you surprised ? Wake up !

In this dimension every beings are feeding on lower forms of life. The richs on poorers or the stronger on the weakers forms. Some call it "the darwin effect". Microsoft is feeding on us and like all "elites" and are looking for more gold.

Kadish kwew his history very well and us... not so well. (The river full of gold. Gen 2:10)

cpt-jericho: Are you implying that everything that people produce with Microfoft applications do belong to Microsoft ? Is Windows 10 a freebe or are we able to buy a copy ?

If I buy a hammer do the house I am building will belong to me or the hammer's maker ?

And even if there wasn't the option to disable providing Microsoft with your info...
...Well some programmer somewhere would make it their personal mission to create a workaround so you could.

Just saying.

This looks pretty real to me.

It's not a question of it firing on real problems. Two issues:
1)It sends files back to Microsoft for analysis. Any file it wants to, without your permission.
2)Having two antiviruses on one computer never works well, which means everyone with win10 is going to be forced to exclusively use Defender... which means that virus makers now only need to bypass one single virus scanner instead of dozens of different ones.

When has it EVER been a good idea to TAKE AWAY options from the end user?
When have you ever LIKED options being taken away from you?

Windows 10?
