Laptop OpenGL Issues:

 

    retchedToday at 11:16 AM

    @everyone Important update incoming from our friends in the SCOTS team.

    We finally have confirmation on user's Intel integrated graphics & Windows 10 issues. A community discussion with a member of the team behind Homecoming and SCORE revealed that both Intel and Windows 10 offer next-to-no support for OpenGL or legacy graphics engines, partially due to Microsoft's push for DirectX; Windows 10 doesn't even support hardware-accelerated OpenGL at all.

 

    Most of these problems have been experienced by people using modern laptops. We're working on a better way to broadcast these problems for them to know about, and also discussed some possible future software solutions that could be built to overcome this hurdle and keep City of Heroes' game client functional on future hardware.

 

    The latter will be further explored by our team down the road once server proliferation and i24 development is at a comfortable stage, but if anyone has a development group familiar with this type of development who would like to get started or lay out the groundwork, there's a lot of people out there who would appreciate it.

Well crap, that makes me want to upgrade my main system less...And of Course Win7 loses support in 8mo.

Windows 7 does, but Windows 8.1 doesn't lose support until 2023.

I'd rather sli...I mean find a way to get all my apps working on Win10 that patch to 8.1. ;)

Why?  Windows 8.1 is better than Windows 7.  All you need is a Start menu replacement like Start8.  I've been using Windows 8.1 Pro just fine for years.

Compared to 7/10, 8 gives me a migraine when navigating to troubleshoot the OS. >.<

HP Pavilion notebook with a Geforce 960M and Intel Graphics, no problems with running the game even when I switch to the intel graphics (by unplugging the AC).

 

I forget how nvidia's power management works on Windows, but in Ubuntu there's this option:
