Must of missed that one. ^^;

Lets just pretend i didn't say anything on the matter. Lest I end up looking like an idiot.

Hi...

Actually - it’s my fault - I included Win8 in my first statement - when I perused the first post I let my personal distatste for an OS - influence what I actually read... My appologies for introducing confusion...

Regards,
Scott

Microsoft will be stopping updates for Windows 7 by Jan 2020.

Unfortunately, this leaves Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 8 behind. Anyone on these systems is encouraged to upgrade to an OS listed above. If not possible, the latest released stable version 1.3.1, will of course continue to run on the older OS; but will not benefit from updates anymore.

Not anytime soon....

Where are the new builds located?

Here?

What DX9 dll is needed to run Monogame? An exact name would be handy, as it can be copied into the lastest build directory, if needed.

Thanks,
Steve

Hi,

No, not yet, at least, I hope not!! I suppose, when Microsoft release a version of .Net Framework which isn't compatible with Win 7 SP1, that is when OR will cease supporting it.

Given the current upgrade going from NetFX 3.5 to 4.7.2 is quite a step, it's unlikely we'll do another one anytime soon.

And while Microsoft will stop supporting Windows 7 from next year, OR continues to work on Windows 7, until we need to make another step with .Net Framework or so.

new builds are part of regular OR update cycles, and so far only available in the Unstable channel (see here http://openrails.org/download/program/)

Monogame requires D3DCompiler_43.dll for dynamically built content (which we are using).

Having installed this on my "main" OR installation, do I now have the Monogame upgrade installed with my main installation?

David,
you will have the Monogame upgrade when the official OR release will perform the switch to Monogame.

I know this is kinda off topic, but I find it kind of funny that MS does not support 8 while Windows 7 is being continuously dragged out of its grave for more time in the sun. Goes to show what a good OS it was in its day.
