Any word on running SK on Win10?

from SorcererKing Forums

Since Windows 10 has finally arrived I have been perusing some forums on Win10 and came across a forum listing the games that run on Win10 titled "List of Games working on Windows 10". I didn't recognize any of Stardock's games in the list. 

 

Does SK run on Win10? With or without DirectX 12?

been running W10 for days now, 2 2idderent machines,  no issues with SK.   Dx12 - good question, thought it was automatic, but says i am running Dx 11

I just came here searching for issues w/ SK and Windows 10. 

The game launches fine for me after the system is rebooted.  But once I've played the game and closed it, it will not re-launch through Steam without re-booting the machine.

The steam sync upload takes forever for some reason. You can't relaunch with the files syncing.  Try turning off the cloud sync.  I keep sync on, but I'll kill steam then restart steam and Sorcerer King if I rage exit the game. Also, ALT F4 doesn't work great with Sorcerer King.

games (and other programs) will only use dx whatever that they've been written for. win 10 comes with dx12, but if games are written for.... dx9 or 11, then they'll be using 9 or 11. i seriously doubt they'll do a dx12 version.

thanks for the info.  If i may ask a dumb question, DirectxDiag shows DX11, is this because no programs have invoked dx12 on my machine?

no idea. i would imagine it should say 12..

 

though....are you using nvidia hardware? it says... disable mfaa to see dx12. XD
