- Capcom has announced that it will no longer guarantee stability for Monster Hunter games after October 14
- This is a result of Windows 10’s ending as Microsoft shifts focus to Windows 11
- It could leave other game developers and publishers who do the same, and lead users to other operating systems
Microsoft’s Windows 10 has only days left before its inevitable death, with security updates ending on October 14, and despite the gesture of free expanded support for users in Europe, it probably does not prevent the influence of OS’s remission.
As reported by TweaTown, Capcom has announced that it can no longer “guarantee” game stability for Windows 10 users playing Monster Hunter: WorldAt Monster Hunter: WildsAt or Monster Hunter: RiseWhen Microsoft ends, supports that begin on October 14th. This is likely to be due to future system updates or game title updates where Capcom does not provide corrections in the event of incompatibility.
It is unclear if Capcom will also leave Windows 10 support to its other titles, which Street Fighter 6 And the coming Resident Evil RequiemAt Especially with the previous reception of frequent updates and New DLC, but it would not be surprising if the same case applies (at least later on the line).
This is essentially leaving players who do not like Windows 11 to either install an alternative like Tiny11, which is a bloatware-free version of Windows 11, switch to Valves Steamos or switch the dreaded Switch to Windows 11.
Game support dropped by Capcom, potentially with other game developers and publishers, should not affect them on hardware that is incompatible with Windows 11, as games (at least with more modern demanding titles) on these systems would be difficult with older hardware to begin with, but it also works as a waking call to a hardware upgrade for many users.
Analysis: Don’t Sorry Sorry But Valves Steamos Looks More Appointing Each Day
It is already a bold step from Microsoft to share ways with Windows 10, as there are still many users on the operating system, but its influence on games appears it could spread wider than expected. In this case, Valves Steamos resembles a stronger opportunity for players who adamily stay away from Windows 11.
I’m not here to regurgate why I prefer Steamos rather than Windows 11 again, but the simple fact is that game performance is better on the Linux-based us, and I have no doubt that it will remain that way in a while, even after Microsoft’s expected ‘full screen experience’ implementation for desktop PCs.
Fortunately, I do not have an urgent need to switch to Steamos as Windows 11 is stable enough for my desktop game -PC, but when improvements are made to NVIDIA GPUs and apps like Discord, I change a heartbeat.
That said, if you are using an AMD GPU and you do not want to move over to Windows 11, I would say you are better at skipping to Linux. Steamos is built to provide a console -like, simple gaming experience, and more importantly, in this case you will not run into questions of losing game stability due to DEVS that awfully give support.
