Windows 10 and AOD

[Quiller]

Because one of these days i will upgrade to windows 10 I want to ask to the community if there are known issues with hoi aod? At the moment my aod (with core mod) is on windows 8.1. I bypassed the issues with 8.1 but I do not know if there are other problems with windows 10. (would hate to stop playing this great game!!!)

If you already got it working on Win8, it should run without a problem on Win10.
Note that a couple of people could not get it to run to begin with (and at least one claimed to have it running out of the box), so please report back in either case.

I'm playing AOD on Win10 with no issues. Ran straight out of the box(ok not actually the box, but the straight Steam install with no modifications needed to run).

Also playing aod on win10 with no known issues. I'd say it is slightly more stable even.

I have only tested AOD on my windows10 seems alright.

AoD with CORE 0.70.7 on Windows 10 runs fine on my rig...

That is absolutely great to know hagar!!! Now I am convinced for win 10

Neither Arsenal of Democracy nor Darkest Hour will run since I upgraded to Windows 10, both hang up just as the loading bar on the loading screen finishes.

Do you have an AMD graphic card? If that is the case there was a driver problem but since the very last driver (2 days ago) i can play AOD again... Only issue : after start up everything freezes on pc for about 50 seconds and then it goes to the loading screen. So patience is needed

I have, Radeon R9 200 series. However, Windows 10 claims I already have the "best" driver, do I seriously have to manually update?

I got the new patch (08.12.), but sadly it didn't help, the same problem persists.

newest patch is : 16.12.1

Sorry, I wrote the date of the driver according to the AMD page (though according to the device manager, driver date is the 04.12.2016). The file is radeon-crimson-relive-16.12.1-minimalsetup-161208_web.exe looks right to me?

 

[Quiller]

That is idd the same driver... very strange then... I did nothing else then installing that driver and AOD and all of hoi works again for me...

 

[Acheron]

I just updated from Windows 7 to Windows 10, since then, both Arsenal of Democracy and Darkest Hour (the later in both the Steam and GoG version) hang up as the loading bar on the loading screen comes towards the end. I really miss those games.

 

[Quiller]

It has probably nothing to do with win 10 the issue exists allready several months and the guilty one is the amd driver (they did nothing wrong, just stopped supporting this old game ) - anyway i feel for u. Had the same feeling since about september and very happy it works again

Despite upgrading to the latest AMD drivers AoD crashes on initializing globals.

Maybe the game run somewhat better for you via superb game boost: http://superb-game-boost.software.informer.com/ it did for me.
