Will Elite Dangerous Odyssey Be Compatible With Windows 11?

I like how they've made it harder than ever before to move away from the steaming dumpster fire that is Edge. You now have to set your default for every file extension you want to associate with your browser.

Seriously though, I hope M$'s insistence on locking down user freedom pushes more people to try out Linux.

So one of the things in W11 is DirectStorage, which is now available to W10.

But, the game has to support it and the game developer has to commit to it's support, via an M$-SDK.

So, will Frontier be updating EDO to take advantage of DirectStorage?

That would be great if Frontier relented and ported Elite H/O to Linux with a Vulcan API.

It would not take that much effort or expense, certainly less than consoles.

I don't have that many windows, so what will I do with my win ten? Will it explode or continue living?

I could google this, but meh...

Don't worry BH, it won't explode :)

There are people still using Win7 now even though the support for that ended a couple of years ago. I think we'll be fine on Win10 for however long we want to be.

Just a couple of years ago some supermarkets over here (in NZ) were still using Windows XP for their POS terminals. They've been upgraded to Win10 since then but I can't imagine them (or anyone else) jumping to WIn11 any time soon. It always pays to wait with Windows new releases as they do tend to improve over time.

Thanks Mike - I'm out of the loop with these things tbh, so I appreciate you spotting the serious question amid my usual gibberish!!

From reading the post I quoted I panicked a bit, but glad it's not an enforced thing as I really can't afford to have the pc go nuts right now with the work I'm doing.

Cheers again for your help mate, good man :)

Is Windows 11 gonna be double glazed, and if I buy one, do I get one free?

I swear - even though this doesn't have subtitles, that bloody adverts infected my brain like a tumor.

Historically Microsoft and its Windows OS suffer from the now familiar pattern of having one good OS followed by a one bad OS so I'd wait for Windows 11.5 or more likely Windows 12 depending on how the naming bingo goes at Redmond.

My issue with that change was that it took considerable time and effort in form of protests to make Microsoft respect certain user choices and constraints. I wouldn't install it before they made automatic downloading of updates optional, especially for folks on metered connections. And a few other privacy issues. If they try sneaking in the same tactics with the next Windows again, they can go to hell for all I care.

Port blocking still works quite well.

Meh. I don't understand the Win 11 hoopla, it appears to be little more than Microsoftonian spackle on top of Windows 10.
  • Virtual desktops instead of that atrocious tile system? Finally? ...the *NIXs have been doing multiple virtual desktops since the early 2000's.
  • Android app/store integration - great, pollute Microsoft's finally-half-way-working OS with that garbage.
  • Widgets? whee! How soon until their exploited, just like last time?
  • The remainder is icing: more "modernizing" of their interface and forced M$ tools integration. The real meat-and-potato Win2K-7 tools are still there, just obfuscated a bit better this time.
Please tell me EDO is on the Steam handheld linux console's compatibility list?

Yeah, mainly because Microsoft introduce new "features" that nobody wants.

Personally, I think MS are making a huge mistake with their stringent hardware requirements for Win11 and they are going to annoy more people than they bring in.

The biggest thing for gamers is probably direct storage. But your mainboard and the game have to support it, and you have to use a NVMe SSD. Most people will be perfectly fine with Windows 10 until 2025 when support for it ends. My PC can't run Windows 11. A TPM module for my mainboard exists, but it's no longer being made, and what stock was left has been scalped.

Windows 10 will also support DirectStorage, but this support is irrelevant for Elite: Dangerous.

And the answer is always the same! Well, except for that Win 9x to XP (NT 5.x) transition in 2001, which is still the dividing line...if it was made for Windows XP or later, it will probably work on Windows 11.

My money is on no, probably never.
