    How does it game for you?


    I've managed to install steam without incident, but i'm sure others will test other clients and possibly CD's in time, but has anyone tried gaming on Windows DP? I've tried Skyrim and it works flawlessly, albeit, I like mods for that game so I'll see how it copes with a few installed.

    :)

    How do I install a game after paying for it? - Rocket Riot, Descent

    Since they're not upgrading right, uninstall the demos from your phone by entering the Games Hub and holding your finger down on the game until "uninstall" appears.

    Now visit the Marketplace ON THE PHONE (not via the Zune desktop) while on your WiFi connection. Go to any app you've purchased and hit "buy". The phone will say "you have already purchased this app. Download again?" and you tap yes.

    If a game is left open but is it paused does it still use data on a windows phone ?

    Your question has been moved by a moderator to the Windows Phone forum for more focused attention by the experts on this subject.

    I went with a clean install. I will install some games this weekend and post my results.

  5. I upgraded from 8.1 and haven't had an issue with any of the games I've tried. I've tried Diablo 3, Sims 4, Pool Nation, Watch Dogs, Trove and Tropico 3. Even GTA 2 played ok. It actually seems like my GPUs are running a bit cooler, but that could just be the ambient temps changing a bit.

    So far seems same as Win8 for me. But alt-tabbing seems a bit awkward. I think Windows gets confused because of multi desktops. Or it's me dunno.

  7. Indeed, all games, that work on 8.1, work on 10 just fine.

    Half-Life 2 and STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl working like a charm

    I will check Wolfenstein The New Order, STALKER Call of Prypiat, Portal 1 and 2, Bioshock 1, 2, Infinite, Burial at sea, etc.

  10. I haven't tried any modern games, but I figure other people will. But it runs both Roller Coaster Tycoon 1&2 and if that's not the sign of an operating system that can game I don't know what is.

    Wolfenstein the New Order, which IS a modern game runs fine too after installing DirectX.
    In a nutshell, every game I have, old as Half-life 1 and new as Wolfenstein and Bioshock does work fine.
    Unlike Windows 8 preview.

  14. Maybe there should be a new thread with a list of working and non-working games like there is for software in the Software and Apps section.

    We've tried that with Windows 8 when that was a developer preview, it's only valid information until the games get fixed or the OS is released. I'll ask about it though.
