It has to according to their supported video cards list because Geforce 6000/7000 and Radeon X1600 are DX9/OGL2 cards. | ||

This isn't a problem with 1.16. A friend of mine said he gets profiles loading in 3 secs which is still 5-10 times slower than 1.16 but suggests a newer comp can display these menus faster? These are just simple menus. It's really slow :/ i guess both battle.net is slower and the interface code itself. I don't feel like the optimization is there, cause it really is slow all around, though the extreme 10+ sec loading only occur at some specific menus (options, login and profile). Anyway I don't like it lol^^ it's not so good, 1.16 feels much better :/ and is lot less buggy. I think maybe XP feels better on an older comp, because it's probably less heavy on the system than vista or 7? So if you have a old comp 1-3Ghz or something that still works, maybe XP is better. Did you actually try running XP and you get hacked immediately? :/ it was never that bad for me. Usually I have heard, that most used systems are the ones which are usually targetted by potential hacks. I think if one is really worried about being a target, you can just set up your own security then @_@ First of all, I have no idea whats going on on your side with SCR. My menus were just slow when network data had to be fetched (login, details on profiles etc). My options menu was never slow or anything noticable. Remember SC:R is using the new battle.net not the old one. Of course XP is less heavy on your system because it was designed to run on way less potent hardware than we have now. Microsofts philosophy to bloat every new version with visual enchancement und unneccesary crap running in background makes newer hardware feel slow. There are probably several guides by trusted techsites for your Windows OS to make it faster and leaner. Additionally I am not sure if you can judge whether your XP-PC is compromised or not, you dont seem to have the education. But a botnet dont wants you to recognize they are having control over your machine, thats the trick. For furhter reading: https://www.wired.com/2017/05/still-use-windows-xp-prepare-worst/ You cant set up your own security if the loopholes are in the OS at parts you have no access to. If you have old hardware try running a beginner-friendly linux distro. All of them offer a live-stick version, so you can try it out without installing it for a while. Thats my best advice for that situation. If you can spend money buy a new pc and run a supported OS of your choice. | ||

Nah I'm pretty seasoned aware of this stuff I know how to look at processes and other things, I don't use XP myself. I would use linux if I could play all the games I want on it. I don't care about "supported" OS though. If I want to have a machine with windows 3.1 just for fun, I would do it hahaha | ||
