    Will Windows 10 run Poxnora?

    Microsoft: Is in our best interest to provide support for applications runnable on past Windows.

    Explorer.exe is the problem, close it and the color will be fine.

    I think you mean "My life for Ailur!" Maljara is just Starcraft Island.

    It's Aiur. For ages I though the same though.

    I was making a joke. Included the second sentence in case someone didn't get it.

    In Pox, the capitol of the Leoss lands is Ailur, which is one letter off from Aiur. If you look at Maljara, it has a ton of similarities with Starcraft -- the Leoss are the Protoss, the Tortuns are the Terrans, and the Kanen are the Zerg. The Stitched are the Hybrids. All of the relationships make Maljara a little microcosm of the Starcraft universe.

    Hence, the joke.

    This is something we will have to wait and see. Pox shouldn't have any problems with Windows 10, but with a new OS there is always the possibility for some incompatibilities. If any of you experience problems with Win 10 and Pox be sure to create a customer service ticket by clicking on Help on PoxNora.com or by posting in the Tech Support forum.

    I know, but do we expect most pox players to need to modify game files or close processes to play the game and stuff.
    I can do it no problem, but some people can't.

    You do realize that explorer.exe is the Windows UI, right?

    Yes, I do and I know how to end the process and start again so there is no problem with Starcraft..

    But I'm using that as an example of if people get windows 10 and pox Nora needs some weird fix (like ending explorer for Starcraft) it's not going to be easy for a lot of people to do that to play the game.

    That being said I'm pretty sure Pox Nora will be compatible with windows 10

    Come to think of it, as long as java is compatible, poxnora should too, yeah?

    EDIT: I hate typing on the phone

    As long as Windows 10 still provides the fundamental APIs needed for the native libs (Jogl's render pipeline, the sound system access, steam) it should continue to work regardless of what version of Windows you are using. One reason why Windows is so dominant. You don't usually lose compatibility between versions except for things that rely on very specific implementations in Windows.

    I have Windows 10 now and there are no issues that I've seen.
