Windows 10 and EQ

[Wisteso]

So since our privacy is being eroded by several opponents, we should obviously just give up and it it be completely eroded. Solid plan, chief.

Please don't evangelize your nihilism

[Thulghor]

Yeah, ok buddy. Way to miss the point entirely. Also has nothing to do with nihilism. Or you for that matter.

I was responding to Ranndom here. If you're telling people not to upgrade to Windows 10 because of privacy fears and the police knocking on your door, you haven't been paying attention.

But if you want to try to derail this thread any further, be my guest.

Windows 10 seems to EQ just fine.

Here's a better thread to discuss the tinfoilhattery behind Windows 10.

I still haven't had my upgrade option yet.

If you're part of a domain you won't ever be prompted. You can download the installer from Microsoft, though: Download Windows 10

They do this already. This is not new.

Only way to be safe is through obscurity. Use a wired ethernet cord, and when you're not using your comp, unplug all of it.

Windows 10 is a small cog in this machine.

I'm responding to subtle suggesting that any attempt to take action is pointless/too late/etc.

Also, using a wired connection is not going to add privacy unless you're trying to evade packet sniffing at Starbucks. Neither is unplugging your computer (or am I missing the sarcasm?)

What will help is when third party tools are developed that block the transmission of personal data to the aggregation services, sort of like how AdBlock disables the ability to use cookies, trackers, etc.

Check the above link if you want to discuss these things further in Off-topic chat. I'm not going to derail this discussion any further. This is turning into trollishness, and we're not supposed to troll the technical discussion forum.

After installing Windows 10, my character models are invisible but I can see melee items. I also now have input lag (controls feel very "soft") as well as an FPS drop.

PC stats are i5-3570k, 8 GB RAM, and... oh I may have just found the problem. My vid card is not listed in dxdiag. Will edit.

Windows 10 is the largest piece of invasive crap ever.

Why you would ever agree to that, regardless of what you may or may not do on your computer, is beyond me.

So, what you're saying is... Windows 10 and P99 are compatible. Thanks!

This worked for me! Thanks mate!

It works the same, just instead of running as windows xp mode you use windows 7 mode and install direct x 9.0c.
