Windows 11

An FYI I just received from Shrapnel Games.

Quote:

As you may or may not know, Windows 11 will be introduced on October 5. Anyone who has researched this should know that many vendors will not be supporting Windows 11 for several months and I think it is smart for the average computer user to not immediately convert over. A 3 month wait seems reasonable as Microsoft always has trouble with initial releases. However, if you are on the download service for updates, the new version will probably be installed automatically. Maybe a post in the forums would help. Just a service for our users to let them know what is what.

Again.... just FYI

Thanks wonder just how much extra space it will require to run this time.

I'll just pass on the "opportunity" to "upgrade" for free for as long as possible, like with windows 10 before it.

Best to let the "eager beavers" download it when all new and shiny and find out about the problems it'll bring!

Has anyone tried running the game on Windows 11 yet? I need to get a new laptop in the next month or so and I would like to know if it will work.

Haven't seen any updates to Win11 come across the computer yet myself.

I just discovered my computer does not have two required prerequisites so I'll be sticking win win10 for awile

I am guessing lucky you.

I am interested in the reputed ability to run android apps.....someday (maybe.......).
I don't own a "smart phone" because I don't need or want one but there are apps that only run things from a phone and the ability to run the app from the PC is intriguing but I will wait until both are proven to work properly

Not at my computer away for a few weeks so seen no update notifications. The windows update may just allow you to play the apps on your phone so in your case pointless.

Try the above I used Bluestacks and it worked perfectly. Not saying it’s the best option it was just the one I tried.

I too found out my computer isn't set up for Win11, I was having issues with an app on the damn machine and was checking why it was not working right and checked the updates and found a BIG red warning. Had to laugh given all the issues I have at getting that big update to Win10 last year or the year before.
