With the upgrades coming to Crystal Mir 2, I think a Poll on what OS you guys are running on will help gauge what upgrades can be done without restricting a huge number of people.
Please vote on what OS you are using to play Crystal Mir 2​

I'm on Windows 10.

Will you be making a compatibility for 10 / 11 something like that?

Forgive my ignorance, are these new files you are working on?

Voted W10
I did install W11 on some computers but found it has too many basic shortcomings, broken things that worked perfectly on W10, so now I will reinstall back to W10
Mind you I even use customized W11 (done by a group of pple that know what they are doing) that already does away with the dumb new features and which fixes some broken things but I keep finding new missing or not working or broken features that W10 had and mentally I have already thrown the towel in on W11
Expect it to be a historical repeat of W8

Even W10 latest editions have already started the trend to dumbing it down in preparation for totally dumb W11 and so I will go back to W10 2016 edition that I have been using long time and that proved just perfect for a serious work a day machine.

I have TinyXP & Beast edition somewhere on old disks but lately I noticed some more recent edition of it but all links I could find were dead. I think some closed group is holding it for themselves, probably always were and what got to public were leaked files.

I mean, whats more nostalgic than playing mir on WinXP :coffee:
I was on WinME when I first started mir.

PS - If running the files it better but does not support older systems - Who cares? We all have to be out with the old, in with the new eventually.

I had a lot of users struggling to connect to my autopatcher who were all using Windows 7. I couldn't help them and going forward don't think I will even attempt to.

Although not mir-related; steam has a software/hardware statistics survey located here: https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey as of April 2023 Windows 10 makes up the majority at 61.21% Windows 11 is 33.39% i personally have 2 computers running windows 10 and a laptop running windows 11, so i am not sure what my vote should be.
