ACK and Windows 10 64bit (updated)

Post by ishtenos »

They don't play nice.

ACK has some really strange behaviors under Win 10 64 bit that I don't see with other DosBox programs I've used. Namely no screen updating, making it so you can't see what is happening. Yeouch. Not sure if anyone else has seen this?

--Update--

If anyone runs into this, go into the DosBox configuration file and change the render setting from Surface to Overlay and it will work fine again.

They now play nice.

Thank you ishtenos
Hear just horrible things about Windows 10
But at least it isn't windows 8 hehe
Vista was MS last great OS.
Windows 7 was a deliberate bullet to Vista
in order to roll out 8.
There never was a 9.
10 and 8 were just a way for MS to capitalize
on this amazing new phenomenon in which
everybody spends vast amounts of their daily routine
sifting through ads on smart phones.
The only reason I use MS is because my programs require it.

You nailed it, W10 is basically the merging of Windows and smartphones. Yay?

I'll say this much about Windows 7. It's the last half-decent version of Windoze.
