Just Cause 2 doesn’t get support for Windows XP

Daaaagnabbit, and the trailers got me so anxious for this game.
I can’t upgrade to W7, all my software is tuned for XP.
That’s it, next time I win the lottery I’ll get a gaming PC separate from my work PC.

While I agree that Windows XP should die right now, I do understand that a lot of people use XP for different reasons. So for the people who it does affect, can’t you just partition your hard drive?

W7 is actually great. I thought osx was stable but W7 so far for me has been rock solid and snappy.

I understand those who have software running only on XP. It’s a right pain. Some software still doesn’t play nice with Vista/W7.

I do understand, but looking at the failure Vista has been it seems a bit harsh to “ban” XP.
Also running on W7, works flawless. Upgrading totally worth it!

Yep I am happy with Windows 7. Been using the Release Candidate for a while now but upgrading to the release build tonight.

I was disappointed with the first Just Cause but I am anxious to see if version 2 can impress me. The trailers look great. Lots of action!

@1, you don’t need to “upgrade”, you can dual-boot.

If you really want that XP software get Ultimate for the XP emulator.

That would be a solution, but I’ll still need to upgrade to a bigger HDD, I barely have enough room as is, and of course, W7 isn’t cheap.

Well, maybe I’ll play it one day, just not at release.
It still bugs me that I have a DX10 video card and can only use it to the full potential in Crysis.

If it requires a DX10 gfx card then it won’t work for a lot of vista and 7 owners as well.

I bet it doesn’t have dedicated servers, either.

@ 6: XP Mode is even in professional version afaik.

i hear windows penis is out 2013

will that be compatible with adobe vagina?

quite possibly, i’ll have to ask my Q&A Team Leader for confirmation

To be honest, I don’t think this is something that the PC crowd will get upset about. The game looks great and I still run XP, but I only do so because my box is fairly old. When I can afford a new PC i’ll be grabbing W7/64 with a fist full of ram. I guess XP needs to be phased out eventually and then DX 10/10.1/11 can finally start to progress the way they need to.

I don’t know. I mean, yeah, XP is old. But I’ve had no real reason to upgrade (Vista was crap, so I didn’t want to and though I plan to get 7 I have no rush).

I guess it’s not really a disaster for me that this game won’t work on my OS. I can always buy it when I’ve got Windows 7 and the game is in the bargain bins anyway.

But I am not sure how good business sense it is to port a game to the PC, and then leave out almost 50% of the potential PC-buyers.

I doubt it’s a staunch 50% like people are saying. From the looks of the game, most people sitting on XP wont have the specs to play it anyway. Maybe about 20% of people on XP have the specs necessary to run the game at anything near playable.

I never had any problems with windows vista. All games run smoothly on it. Quit winning, you douchebags!

PS: JC2 looks rather awsome. Gonne get it on steam as soon as it comes out.

PC games – shit
Just Cause 2 -boring game
Who care about boring shit?

XP > W7 > Vista
