windows 10 preview and icon

[microc]

downloaded and installed the new windows preview software and it looks and runs the same as windows 8.1 so far. no issue with icon or old coh files running.

hopefully that remains the case through the final release, since, if this is anything the windows 8.0 tech preview, it will change radically between now and oct2015

That's awesome news.

I haven't tried it with Icon yet but the Windows 10 preview is certainly less annoying to me than the original Windows 8 preview.

I'm actually running Windows 10 Tech preview at the moment. ICON seems to be working fine and I doubt anything's going to change significantly up until release that will affect that.

Actually...Strike that... I can't seem to actually go from the character creator into the game...

Sounds like you're trying to run cityofheroes.exe instead of icon.exe - that's the error you get when City can't find the servers.

You're running an old version of Icon. The torrent that's floating around for I24 includes an older icon.exe in it; you need to grab the latest from the forum thread and replace it.

Ah, Yep. There we go. Thanks, CW. First time I'd used a version of the client from that torrent... -shrugs-
But it's working fine. Been wandering around Atlas Park for a good 20 minutes in Icon on my #2 monitor while I tweak lighting, Field of View, DOF, and other such miscellaneous things in Revival.

Yes, You have my express permission! However, I think it's CodeWalker who should be getting the high praise here. His tools and knowledge have made my job *MUCH* easier.

You're awesome, Irish_Girl. :-)

CodeWalker's awesome too. But, he's not doing all that much on APR.

In fact, all the people working on any of the CoH related projects are awesome.

Why do I feel like playing that Lego movie song...?
