Thank you for reply. I have hardware that not have compatible drivers with WIn10. I know i can force use older drivers but Win10 will revert o Windows WDM ones as they are "more recent". While my current 7D2D on Win7 runs with decent 40-60 FPS and OS self is very responsive on Win10 test SDD (clean install) system was very slow and 7D2D runs very low at 30-20fps. The issue here as i say is that 7D2D require Steam to run and VALVe/Steam will not run in 2024. That mean that my 7D2D Installation will be paper wight as game cannot verify if i own the game (steam not running) and exit. I know Steam will do nothing towards this as they are "only a Store". They act like this is all my fault while problem is on their side using uncompatible backend for new Steam Client. I am writing this as i want to see view from 7D2D developer.

Writing this as 7D2D require log-in Steam.exe to be run in background. As many know VALVe/Steam in 2024 will update to new (chromium) backend that is no longer supported with Win7. That means all players that enjoy 7D2D on older OS like Win7 (for reasons) will no longer be able to play your game as your game require Steam to run in background. I know Steam can be forced to run in offline mode but 7D2D have Player profile issue "offline save game issue". Basically online player profile in your saved world gen will be missing when you switch to offline mode and you need to start from 0. I do not think VALVe will change their mind on Win7 support. I know many cannot upgrade to WIn10 as that system force use "all purpose" garbage WDM Drivers that render older hardware too slow for playing game like 7D2D. If you have nothing to say towards topic then please ignore it. Here is source from Steam Forum https://steamcommunity.com/app/251570/discussions/4/3824163953441547905/
