Does anyone using Windows 10?......

Does anyone using Windows 10 play Links using compatability mode to an earlier operating system? Also, does anyone use Smart Game Booster before playing? Just curious. THANKS!

RICK :)

I run Links in Win 10 running as Administrator under Win XP and having zero issues. I don't use the booster you mention. I close all resource hogging background programs and it runs swimmingly.
Upon us all a little rain must fall.

I play Links on an Intel Core i5-2400 cpu@3.1 GHz, 8 GB of ram, Windows 10 OS with a budget video card (NVIDEA GeForce 8400GS), don't use any compatability mode, don't shut down any background programs, have all sounds enabled, and have absolutely no issues with the game.

Hi Rick,

I run in XP SP2 compatability mode and I have to use Smart Game Booster to get the game to run.

Win 10
Ryzen 5 3600X
16gb 3200 ram
Geforce 1660 Super

I use an old 10 yr old laptop that originally had windows 7, and upgraded it to windows 10 when there was a free upgrade years ago. My laptop only has a dual core 2.2GHz processor/ 3GB memory. I have zero problems with it, playing online with links. Been playing for years.

Thanks again, one and all. I appreciate the feedback, :) I've been playing this game before Links 98 came out. Ah, the good old days :) Haven't had a bit of trouble until I got urged to leave Windows XP Pro behind and come into the 21st century :) I haven't had this much frustration in the past 23 years or so. Hopefully, with your kind and infomative feeback (and the arrival of my new video card :lol: ), I can once again play worry free. THANKS AGAIN GUYS!!! :D

RICK :D
