![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Electron dropped support for windows 7/8 with version 23 If I see it correctly, the launcher version 2023.13.1 was still using electron version 19 (based on chrome 102) while the launcher version 2023.14 is using electron 26 (based on chrome 116). The launcher is built using the electron framework which uses the chromium browser engine(used by chrome, edge and opera) to create desktop applications. I had a look at the differences between the launcher versions and I can shed some light on the reason why the launcher doesn't work on older windows versions anymore: Perhaps its time to upgrade to Windows 10, which is still supported for another 2 years. I'm not saying this IS the cause, but running a 14 year old OS is bound to cause problems at some point. is just pure luck because the code had not changed all that much, or not in the spots that matter for compatibility. ![]() It is very possible that Paradox no longer has a single Windows 7 computer left in their building to even test the client for Windows 7, and the fact that it still worked up until now. There will come a time (and it has already happened with many other software companies) that companies making software products will be unable to support Windows 7. doesn't really matter, as the companies providing support for these products pulled the support on it a LONG, LONG time ago. That the OS is "perfectly fine" and that your old iPhone 3 with them sweet rounded corners is also "perfectly fine", despite both of them being 14 years old. So if they have a problem with Windows 7, Microsoft will tell them: Oh well, that OS is now as obsolete as the iPhone 3 (which was released in 2009 as well), so we won't support you. What this means for any software/hardware company including Paradox is that THEY TOO can no longer call Microsoft for support. I have no real answer for you, but Windows 7 is now a 14 year old OS (released in 2009), has been out of mainstream support for 8 years now (2015) and extended support finally ended in January 2020 roughly 3 years and 9 months ago. ![]()
