Windows XP Support Ending

I'd like to ask if anyone still plays Sven Co-op on Windows XP, and if so, why? Microsoft ended support of Windows XP on April 8th, 2014. As such, Microsoft is no longer releasing updates or fixes for the OS.

fixedI'd like to ask if anyone still plays Sven Co-op on Windows XP, and if so, why? Microsoft ended support of Windows XP on April 8th, 2014. As such, Microsoft is no longer releasing updates or fixes for the OS. In newer versions of Microsoft's Visual C++ compiler (VS 2015 and up), players running Sven Co-op under Windows XP will experience a crash. It's something we experienced a while back in build 986278 and corrected by reverting to an older version C++ compiler for build 997953 and later. Unfortunately, some new features we're working on mandate an upgrade to our toolchain. We're caught between a rock and a hard place. ːsteamsadː If you check out the Steam hardware / software survey ( http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey ), the refreshing point is that most players won't be affected by this problem. Windows XP is only about 1.14% of the player base. Are you affected? Please share your thoughts below!
