Win Xp compatible?

(1/5) > >>

Welwordion:
Heh , like often when I retry darwinbots 2 I got annoyed at certain limitations , conceptual problems, so I thought: lets see I am  just a hobby programmer but maybe I find something I can help with to speed darwinbots 3 development up.
So after I finally figured out how to download a subversion file(shamefully years after I encountered the first svn directory in the internet)
I first tried to open it on visual c# studio express 2010 but, when that was incompatible I tried to install 2013 unfortunately I have been to lazy and stingy to replace my windows xp so not possible.
Then it hit me does darwinbots 3 use NET 4.5? will it be even compatible with windows xp?

Oh good god, well....
Some sad news for you, WinXP is no longer supported...In other words, programs have stopped being programmed to work with in (90% of the time).
Its to outdated, for gods sake...They're already starting Win10 (though not Win9, probably to distance themselves for Win8 which is worse than Win7).

Welwordion:
Dude I know its not supported anymore, you think I am stupid?
I just had not really any problems beside 1 game yet with windows xp and that game strangely run on an even older pc with windows xp.
Fact is work on darwinbots 3 started before xp support was canceled before 2013 and most likely before NET 4.5.

So I am thankful for the reply but if you can not clearly answer the question and do not have anything sensible to say maybe less words are better.

Peter:
Yes, DB3 targets .Net 4.5.1, probably was a automatic migration when the project switched to VS2013. As a result xp is indeed not compatible with DB3. Sadly it doesn't work on XP anymore. But it's something that would be done eventually, can't stick with older .Net versions just to stick with XP(for a program that's not released yet). Although the .Net 4.5 update is relatively minor, I didn't even realize it didn't support XP.
Maybe it's even a small change to keep support open for .Net 4 for a while longer, but that's something Numsgil should answer.

I think windows 8  works splendid. Not all is perfect(using metro & desktop apps at the same time is annoying), but overall it works quite well.

Welwordion:
Thx peter guess I will have to continue to prepare a multiboot system,because  with all the data and software I collected its a pain in the ass to move everything or to find where the hell I got the software from etc. so no way I am going to try to transfer everything to another windows ^^
