Windows 10
-
Right now I am having a problem getting past the mission launch splash screen. You get the status bars to load all the way, then you hear the engine running and your external gauges are working, but the splash screen won’t change. Sometimes you get a message saying the display driver has crashed or stopped working.
Here is what I found out. Running in full screen fixes the problem. Running in windowed mode it will crash, if you have other screens extracted like the mfds, etc. You can run in windowed mode without any other screens.
I have used the mfd extraction utility with little help. I can extract all gauges, except my mfds. I get no information on my mfds.
I have undated all my drivers, no help. I have run as an admin, no help.
I guess that I will use BMS on windows 7. Glad that I have a dual operating system on my computer, just for these problems.
EDIT I also had the mfd extraction utility not displaying the mfd information on windows 7 too. So, it my not just be a problem with windows 10.
I also have an AMD card, so I think that windows 10 doesn’t play well with AMD right now.Guess what? A known issue with 10.
10 has issues with windowed mode, from display extractions, to music. Do some reading as I have. Microsux has a lot of work to do to get this OS up to par imo. -
Have downloaded the iso and am awaiting my new SSD - will then duel boot between 7 & a fresh install of 10 to make sure it all works.

Jhook,
Thanks for the reply. Glad to at least know that my computer isn’t the only one having the problem. I am glad that I have also windows 7 on my computer.

I just noticed if you go to Start menu > Settings > Update & Security > Recovery tab. You have the option to roll back to Windows 8.1, but you only have 30 days to do so. So it sounds like you have to shake down your system quickly and decide if you want to keep Windows 10.
EDIT. I want to enforce that I think that Windows 10 will be the OS to go with in the future. I just don’t think that it is ready for prime time.

Run some fraps and let us know what gains you get. Should see a nice fps increase.

Your welcome! I have been reading up on 10. Seems to me that these issues (many of them) need to be addressed first but you should notice an improvement in fps. Run some tests and let us know.

i have installed it now on the old computer. I don’t know how it would behave on a clean install of win 7 and with all the updates, but it works pretty well so far.
I like the design and the startmenu, even if the borders feel a bit too fat (so much borders, but no space for the window content ;D). i guess there might be some options, i didn’t look into personalizations yet, but it’s also not this heavy.
I like the taskmanager (one of the few good things of win8)!
Edge is okay, but opera 12 will stay as my favorite (also if gettin old).
will I install it on mine? not sure yet.

This too, though some people may choose to leave it on and that’s okay:

Nice find . I left it only to share among PCs on the same network, which is useful to save bandwidth.
Again they buried pearls like this all over the place…

Makes sense for them, less bandwidth to have for their servers. After all, Linux distributions do the same with updates.

Nice find
Also, I work in IT and have had several of the links I have shared forwarded to me at work, so I can’t really take all the credit.

Got Win10 installed on my laptop…liking it so far. However, will wait to put on my desktop where my BMS is installed.

No worries thanks for sharing anyway

Hello there im new in the BMS world.Are we sure that BMS will run smoothly on win 10 because thats the first reason im afraid to upgrade.

Don´t care about the game itself… care more about the Hardware and other stuff you use in combination

Hi all, I upgraded from Windows 8.1 to 10 yesterday. The installation thankfully went without any problem and BMS runs fine like before. However, right after the windows installation I had to update the NVIDIA driver for my card (GTX 980), otherwise the graphics were poorer than before. I ran the Valley benchmark before and after installing windows 10 and I got almost identical frame rate scores.

@tachyon - Thanks for the info.

I’m keeping mine on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. Reviews on Windows 10 don’t inspire confidence. Also don’t like the interface. If I had Windows 8 I might change but not now.
