Does Paradox have the intention to remove Vista support in a future patch as with S and EUIV?

[Chaingun]

They eventually encounter issues with the OS when working with the game and each team decides that "Enough is enough", and so ends vista support. Or something along those lines. Vista is .46% of the PC market (and no doubt less among gamers), so literally the moment they encounter something that's vista's fault there's no reason to fix it.

Pretty much. It's either supporting the legacy OS or making the game worse for everyone else using a modern OS. (The third option of supporting both is comparatively financially nonviable given the resources can be put into doing something actually interesting for the game instead for the 99.x% of the users using a modern OS.)

Well according to the steam page minimum requirements are win7...

As a Linux user, I can say that Paradox games work well on Linux. Join our sect

If they really want to change sure, pds games are smoother running on linux nowadays. Neverless there is a very nice forum group about pdx games here at the forum O

I get the impression they only just changed that in response to this thread.

Nah, we have never supported vista at all as far as i know... before we had an requirement of windows xp (not vista, and not beyond xp), but when ms stopped supporting xp we sat the requirement for windows 7 since that is what they support atm... vista is like millennium, something either game devs or ms will even try to poke with an 5" pole (sorry)

The English language page was updated some time ago. The non-English ones were neglected apparently, but they should now be fixed too.

Seriously? did not know that and that is my bad O

You may want to add a negative component to the last bit.

was not millennium enough? O;D
