Why do you run CloD on XP?
In the last update from 1C Lead Development Producer Ilya Shevchenko aka Luthier, he states that they are struggling with "technical difficulties that are especially apparent on Windows XP".
Writing code that supports many versions of a platform is asking for trouble and makes troubleshooting a mess.
Now Microsoft abandoned XP in 2009 and W7 is a modern and more stable version of Windows. So why do 1C choose to add support to an OS that was released over 10 years ago for a groundbreaking game that requires 2010/2011 year hardware?
Steam statistics show that 19.5% of steam users have Microsoft XP.
It is clear that 1C don't wanna loose that customer base.
But why in the world are 19.5% running XP when W7 will give you a clear boost in performance in most games and especially Cliffs of Dover??
You tell me!!
