Anyone running DW on windows 10? I was thinking of upgrading and wanted to know if anyone has had any issues?

I'm running it on 10 on a surface pro 3, other than the regular crashes everybody get's with DW I've had no problem compared to windows 7/8.

Playing in Windows 10 changed a couple of things, and in my case, not for the better.

1st problem. I could no longer use the larger screen resolutions, and full screen did not work anymore. I was working through these and then....

the gamebreaker for me, the camera controls in scouts went haywire, making the game unplayable.

I rolled back to Windows7 after just a couple of days.

I have seen no difference swapping from windows 8 to 10. Nothing bad but unfortunately nothing good either ( was hoping it might fix the crash when I swap from client to website)

I never had any problems on 7... Really wish I had stuck with that

I'm on a brand new(ish) machine that I bought with Win 8.1 installed - my previous rig was win 8 upgraded to win 8.1 and the crash thing was not as frequent.

Apparently the issue with the crashing when flipping between screens is to do with some resolution conflict between what the client is running in and what the windows resolution is running in. On my last rig I set both the parrameters pretty low 1080 x 960 or less IIRC - which sucked for everything but DW but did significantlt reduce the cleint crashing whne flipping between screens.

On my latest rig the client crashes from the lobby screen without flipping and for no apprent reason - I had a bit of a squizz on my logs and couldnt see anything obvious although I assume its the resolution conflict.

I've fiddled with it a bit on this rig and tried to match them up but havnt found a sweet spot yet. If I find one i will post.

With the Windows 8.1 - I have it that if I minimize the client window it goes black and I have to restart, as long as I remember to alt-tab between the windows it works fine.

Not sure if that's the crash you're referring too
