mod compatibility

Dear colleagues: will the current mods for sp2 be compatible with the future version of compatible windows 10?

I think they will, because just the game's engine has to do with (new) operating systems. IMO SF2 is already perfect compatible with Win 10, even if it was written for Win 7. Future OS will use, for sure, the NT core again, upgraded versions of it, of course, which all Microsoft OS, from XP to Win 10, have it. If TK will , I don't know, switch to a modified avionicsXX.dll library then , maybe , it will be an issue for planes which have a cockpit and avionics, but not caused , directly by an OS.

you have to ask in other places, as here there are a only bunch of people with the abandoned game.

i think he means the retool of our current for Win10

  @ jack33, likely but not necessarily. it's supposed to be a retool for Third Wire to do what Windows already does to make the old Win7 game work in Win10(compatability) , plus take advantage of DirectX updates since the older versions were released

  but anytime TK looks sideways at the PC SF2 it seems something the modders incorporated into the game breaks. it was business as usual a long time ago but the stability had been nice since Jul2013 (the last patch to the game)

back at yakarov79, it might not be a bad thing. it could bring in new blood on the game itself, and for every say 100 new players you might get 2-3 new modders. especially if the new version is not too different and can take our old abandoned mods

Well sorry then.

But clearly, no one here knows anything about  "the future version of compatible windows 10" - which already become mythical.

Win XP was the frst which used a modified NT core from Windows NT edition, used on servers only for its stability and memory manager. Win Vista was a failure of  OS when it appears. It was real embarassing for Microsoft. There were brand new PCs that couldn't run Vista, not because they were weak in terms of power, but because Vista was that bad. They saved the disaster after a few upgrades. Win 7 was the real upgrade, with a strong memory manager. Win 8 was, again, a failure, but just in terms of conception (they imagined that people would love to touch their pc screen monitors with fingers, nobody sane does that). Win 8, in terms of hardware was just a Win 7 with a few bugs solved, nothing more, meaning easy money for Bill. He pulled that because Win 7 supported Direct X 11, which was a game changer for gamers and this way he forced everyone to switch to Win 7. Win 10 is the same Win 7 with the same bugs solved, but they coudln't just stay and not realeasing anything on the market and they thought they will trick again the gamers community, implementing Direct X 12. It didn't work so well for Bill here, again. So, tomorrow they are again out of ideas, they are thinking how to launch the same old Win 7 but to name it different. And the hope that people are not , again, noticing what they are in fact doing.
