Yes, of course, why walk when you can fly :)
(if by that you mean windows version, as for game i'm using the 32bit version, cause the 64 one is bugged for me, at least it was on win8)
Seriously. i don't understand the hate on win10, works like a charm for me

Same here. Had zero problems upgrading from Windows 7. All games work just like they did with Windows 7. Haven't compared performance figures but nothings jumped out at me to think I'm getting slower performance. :thumbup:

I tried what I could to my knowledge, UT2k4 keep crashing, after few seconds, I am back to windows 8, all fine as it was...
Thank you all for your responds, appreciate the debate, could not get smarter, I will keep windows 8, hopefully without Mr. Gate popping up to upgrade...

For future reference: Error reports should always contain a literal quote of the error message, otherwise helping properly is extremely difficult.

Dally also switched to Win10 and had problems running UT in fullscreen. He solved it with the trick Crazy suggested.

Seems weird, but that worked for me too.

I have found though that none of the Brightness/Contrast or Gamma adjustment settings work now and the screen is quite dark.
Play it safe, do what Droopy says..."Always double tap!"

It seems to have fixed the problem for AfterTwoBowls as well.

Can you check if you have "Adaptive Brightness" turned on? Here's a tutorial how to find it in the settings and turn it off.

If that does not work, it might be a driver issue with your graphic card. Here's a discussion about it with a possible solution.
