Windows 10 Experience...

So Hour, you think win 10 is fine to install? I mean i also got my win 7 as backup. So i should give win10 a try?

Ok, thank you for the info

I have installed a clean Windows 10 Enterprise and Freelancer won't start. There was message from the Customization wizard to fix issue, but it is gone now.
The install of FL was not an issue.
Have installed DirectX and all Visual C++ versions and still a no go.
Threre's no messages about Freelancer, failing to start, in Event Viewer.

AV was turned off?

No AV installed and UAC is turned off.
Have an idea about permission - my account is my Company Account (->Enterprise). Local accounts are only possible on registred editions, from what I read
I am seriously considering installing W10 Pro instead on clean disc. Disc wasn't cleaned with this "upgrade".

Looks like there's an issue with SafeDIsc (copy protection of CD-ROM) with clean installs. I installed Win 10 Pro and have the same issue:
The service could not start because of Secdrv.sys. the following error:
Loading the driver was blocked.
So...

Ive read about that yesterday.
Windows 10 does not contain that driver dll which renders thousands of older games incompatible with win10
Windows 7 and windows 8 contained that driver by default.
Even the games contain that driver.... but only in a 32bit version which does not have digital signature that is accepted by windows 10.

A solution to this problem is not available yet.
Microsoft support suggested getting a version of such games which does not any copyright protection (which is like... microsoft motivating players to download pirated copies)

It looks that wait few weeks with upgrade is not the worst idea ...

So i guess i should wait with my win10 upgrade right?

Well, I will be waiting period. Just checked on update and got msg saying they (MS) were still working with other vendors to address issues regarding my PC set up/configuration. Hmm...not really sure if what that is supposed to mean, nothing unusual about it, I don't think anyway, since it is a test platform that NVIDIA used to test their GPU's. I am smelling something...

What are you smelling? Gold, money, poop? o.o

They are waiting for your pc vendor to validate Windows 10 is running without any issues. I upgraded my HP laptop (not waiting for HP) without any issues.

@GodEatGod - or trouble! Bout to find out, notice to schedule DL just popped up.

So I reinstalled Windows 7 Pro, installed Freelancer +CF and Upgraded to Win 10 Pro.
Only problem I have is a really high framerate (130-199), which makes Suns and asteroids fields look a bit odd (have a movie somewhere for later).
I have a dual graphics setup (GTX 660 TI x2) and a 144 hz screen. Moorhun said that dual setup offen gives problem with old games, so I pulled 1 card out, but no difference in framerate. This might be some Nvidia "default" settings, dunno.
Another thing I noticed is that CF seems a bit darker, but dunno if that's related to that framerate thing.

Worse is that some shaders don't work for me: SMAA, FXAA and SweetFX doesn't work (dual setup or not, no difference).
No Selection, ENB's and Vanilla Fl shaders works just fine.

Edit: Nvidia Driver 353.62
Edit 2 - Video: Asteroids looks funny when I type /ping and the sun is strange in the end

Win 10 installed. So far no issues, other then figuring out where things are residing at, but no biggie yet. CF started up but I did have to install the DirectPlay for it to run. about to reboot and try again. SweetFx worked like a champ though. will update...

Ok, reboot improved things some. only issue with CF is that I need to go in and turn the Aero themes off as I don't have the opening videos, only audio. Otherwise it is working great! found some of my screenshots but not all of them and of course not the ones that I am specifically looking for... yet!

Edit by

Ok, forget about Aero, hasn't existed since Win 8. from what i just read, not much I can do but I did change from the default to the basic setting or Win 10 themes. Will see if that helps.

Well that didn't work either and now my wife isn't a happy camper as her favorite Windows games are gone and she doesn't like the new ones! Yet.

First to answer Huor's question, no, haven't had those issues.

Second, still haven't found the magic button that lets the opening videos be seen. audio not an issue. and the wife is no longer upset about her games, she likes the new ones better and now the problem is she hogs up the PC!
