GZDoom will run on Windows 10 and Windows 11 at ease. There is no such thing as a made for Windows 11 port because the incentive isn't there to utilize tech like DirectStorage. Obviously this has zilch to do with developers not having Windows 11. I almost feel this is a ChatGPT made and generated thread. Except GPT will likely create better threads with better theories than this. 7 Share this post Link to post
Catdark_ Posted January 8, 2023 when will mapsets such as Hell to Pay and the lost Episodes of doom become Iwads in GZDoom also Sigil 0 Share this post Link to post
Shepardus Posted January 8, 2023 8 minutes ago, Catdark_ said: when will mapsets such as Hell to Pay and the lost Episodes of doom become Iwads in GZDoom also Sigil They're PWADs for a reason, they require the resources from the base game. Any reason you need them to be IWADs specifically? For Sigil you're in luck though, because WadSmoosh does recognize Sigil and will merge that along with the rest of the WADs it supports. 3 Share this post Link to post
TheMagicMushroomMan Posted January 8, 2023 (edited) why isn't there a made for windows 10 22h2 10.0.19045.2364 source port the devs must not have updated their win10, maybe they're too busy with doing drugs to cope with weird questions people ask them 16 Share this post Link to post

The two of you both have a critical misunderstanding about how Windows works. Windows as an OS is explicitly backwards compatible (you can in fact still run Win95 software on Win11), and the SDKs are also forwards/backwards compatible to some degree. You don't target a specific version of Windows, you target a supported feature set which typically encompasses multiple versions as once. The current SDKs cover between either 7 to 11, or 10 and 11, depending on the APIs used. Try hard enough and you can keep going back further; The current version of Worms Armageddon (which yes, is actually still getting modern patches) still supports Windows 95, despite being designed for modern systems including Win10 and 11.

Professor Hastig Posted January 9, 2023 Oh boy, really? There is no source port made for Windows 11? The world must be coming to an end - now it is not just the regular software made for older systems that stopped working but also Doom. What do we do now with our brand new computers...??? :D:D:D On 1/8/2023 at 4:21 AM, Herr Dethnout said: 2.-) cuz Windows 11 is shit. On a more serious note, Windows 11 may need more third party fixing to run well, but aside from that it is not really worse than Windows 10 once its deficiencies have been patched up. 0 Share this post Link to post

Julia Nechaevskaya Posted January 10, 2023 Windows 11 is bad because it's eating status bar corner pixels! Spoiler Note: such rounding can be disabled locally in source port or program code, or globally via Win11DisableRoundedCorners. 7 Share this post Link to post
