If you download Visual Studio you can return the favour. :)

I don't think I should actually do city nodes. This is the fourth time the game crashes, 1 time it even straight up said "bad allocation" . It almost always happens close to the circle to the left from the entrance. Something is seriously wrong, why is there no fix yet?

I was having big trouble when I first came back after my hiatus. stuttering, lagging, frame issues, then I changed to DX11 and no more issues.

You can disable automatic updating in windows 10 via the Group Policy Editor. If you have home edition the same changes can be made manually via the registry.

Windows 10 is trash what do you think they gave it away for free for? You get what you pay for. Constant tracking and data collection of you is how they pay for it selling that shit to interested parties.

My suggestion is get windows 7 pro and don't update.


If you're not a gamer dont even install a windows product. Linux.

yup win 10 updates are utter garbage and I hate the fact MS takes control away from people. but anyway, there are ways to disable updates on Win10, I've had no problems at all ever since re-installing to get rid of the patches it had already installed and blocking all future updates.

so they say.
trust me, for nearly a year every update has broken my computer for a couple of days. i've looked up and tried every single possible way to disable windows updates, and it still forces updates over time. doesn't matter what you do. you can only delay it for awhile.

Update assistant which is a virus is permanently blocked in my firewall, still on Windows 10 v1607 and have no issues.

What's funny is that Windows 7 does the exact same thing, it only won't tell you about it or enable you to easily shut most of it off.

And so does Google. Facebook. Amazon. eBay. The Internet, pretty much. You have to work *really* hard to disable everything, and it'll cripple your internet experience for sure.

Performance- and security-wise, Windows 10 is miles ahead of Win 7. That's just fact. You may happily continue to run Windows 7 (or Linux) if you like, but these anti-MS rumors are getting quite tiresome, really. I'd be much, much more worried about the big guys, like Google and Facebook.

Finally, a voice of reason among the madness.

In an year win7 will be gone. On a side note, disabled updates with any windows bring troubles in medium-long terms.

I'm win7 user, legal and up to date. Have variety of issues with PoE, which may vary from slow memory access, memory leaks, crashes with weird crash messages, "common" crashes. Depending on the patch.
Every new patch fixes some of the issues, but other become dominant. A neverending cycle.

It's not the windows, but the initial quality of engine and netcode, eventually the current coders in charge. More likely both.

PoE may work just fine with some hardware and software combinations, but may also terribly fail with others. Same concerns the setup of game options.
A long term PoE user instinctively and empirically finds out the best hardware-software-game options setup. It's like an art. Or a kind of Poe compatibility roulette.

What do you mean gone? I still have a computer with windows XP works fine. There are offices running windows 2000 still. 7 is not going anywhere.

(probably my last windows OS in fact since MS is getting so invasive)
