BF3: WinXP not supported

[Guest Chaz]

A "tweet" from one of the BF3 devs:

"Frostbite 2 is primarily developed for DX11. XP & DX9 is _not_ supported, 64-bit OS is recommended. Lots of time to upgrade if you havent!"

Time to hop on the Win7/Vista bandwagon if you haven't. I finally let go of XP last month after 9 years.

[IHarryXx]

Well, XP is good for those old games.

[G.Kirkland]

True but my point still goes.

XP is living its last days , you'd better install something else...

[Helldiv3r]

Oh screw you EA!!! :P
Still use XP, will always use XP
Until you stop coming out with crap Microsoft, you aren't getting one penny from me.

[G.Kirkland]

Considering how much Bill Gates earns every day you'd expect him to be investing a bit more in development and a little less on the bloody charities. No offence, but it's about time developing countries started relying more on their own resources.
Vista is complete shit, it's basically a pre-alpha of Windows 7, and yes I use it (on my laptop only).
Windows 7 has crap compatibility with older games, so until either PR for BF3 comes out or EA gets a patch for BF2 to work better on Windows 7 (not gonna happen lol), I'm sticking.

I agree, Vista is a mess and Win7 cant play PR as stable as XP does... XP ftw
