According to statcounter, it’s about 2.48% of the PCs worldwide still using Windows 7, which are indeed very few in the global scope.
Godot has a good overall platform support, it also supports ARM32 and ARM64 versions of Windows and Linux, but I remember a comment regarding a problem with the Russian encoding in Windows 7, and I think someone else also replied to that comment with the same issue, so we have at least 2 people using Windows 7 and that is why I wanted to make this small survey :P.
I’m not sure I understood the first question, but the releases are don at the same time for all platforms, so whenever 1.30 comes, it will come for all platforms at the same time :).
Version 1.25 will add 2 scenes from the unused images of the original, which are another scene with a Cicada and a scene with an unidentified creature, which we will invent a bit.
It is due to an update on the game’s engine. The engine we’re using has new updates every few months, and we try to keep the game using the latest version, due to continuous bug fixes and performance improvements on each release.
There are also features that we may want on each version, but the downside is that sometimes it breaks compatibility with some devices, like with their next update.
OpenGL still support (official) W7 too in the last version 4.6 and plus, remember W7 can used DX12/Dx12_1 (if GPU enable it by drivers, RX6650 XT for example) and Vulkan in last version (1.3.302) too like linux/android/10/11/HarmonyOs/NintendoSwich.
Even with no more oficial support OS updates W7 still work better than 11 and yet 7 still have minor security updates sometimes, many programs and games never had a modern version and therefore can only work in W7 and somestimes the modern stuff have less problems on 7 if dont have some special for install/run it. Vulkan for example dont have a core OS, so if you used Vulkan for modern stuff you can run it anywhere.
I like work on 7 (edition,streaming,coding,modding,etc), on my opinion still the best OS microsoft make and for that they try kill it with planned obsolescence while trying to extend the service life of what is not working well like 11 (for gaming is good but no much more) and dev new OS of dubious useful life.
As we say in Spanish “si funciona no lo toques” (if it works, don't touch it) and make 3 backups xD
You meant regarding version 1.25?
Version 1.30 will officially move to engine version 4.5, and as I’ve understood, some glue code for older windows versions was removed there. It might still work, but I’m not sure, since the issue is not graphics driver based, but OS specific code, let’s see.
I remember reading something about SDL3, but as far as I know, SDL3 supports windows 7 and even XP, so let’s see how it handles the update.
