Sea of thieves можно ли играть на windows 7

Обновлено: 03.02.2023

Один из популярнейших вопросов пользователей по поводу Sea of Thieves касается того, пойдет ли игра на операционной системе Windows 7. В целом логика этих вопросов ясна: у легендарной «семерки» по-прежнему огромная доля всего рынка пользователей, которые не хотят или не видят смысла обновляться до «десятки». А сама игра вроде бы выглядит так, что должна бы по-хорошему работать не то что на «семерке», но и на условной Windows XP.

Тем не менее, это только кажется. По факту же Sea of Thieves на Windows 7 никак не заработает, причем ограничение это вызвано тем, что игра разрабатывалась под DirectX 12. Эта версия, как наверняка знают практически все, поддерживается исключительно на Windows 10, а потому ни на одной другой операционной системе игра не запустится. Кроме того, можно еще отметить факт, что игра все время подключена к серверам, то есть ее обязательно надо покупать, а Microsoft Store не функционирует на Windows 7. То есть не то что играть — даже купить Sea of Thieves под этой операционной системой у вас не выйдет.

it may or may not run on win 7, depends on which version of dx 11 it runs on, loads of other games coming from microsoft say win 10 only and run perfectly fine on win 7.

dx 11.1 is last version for win 7, dx 11.2 last version for win 8/8.1

dx 11.3 and 11.4 only run on windows 10, but. dx 11.3 was ported into WoW and i believe a few other games to allow win 7 users of those games to run something closer to dx 12.

on the subject of win 10, its horrible for loads of reasons listed across the internet, dont force yourself into it just for a random few games that claim win 10 only.

also dont believe the misinformation about «win 7 support has ended» or «its old» or «it has security risks».

win 7 has still been getting updates since «support ended», also there is a way to get paid updates till 2023.

dont worry about «games dropping support», thats false, it will likely take 5 or more years before they fully drop support for win 7 gaming, same goes for steam as win xp was supported on steam up until a couple years ago.

Yeah dude i know it, but SoT looks pretty good for me since release, and i really struggle in my decision to update or not to update my win7 for this game. And now, when it come to Steam, struggle is getting even harder.

on steam, the list of win 10 only games is very tiny and like mentioned most of them run fine on win 7.

not telling you what you should do, just letting you know that you arent forced or really need to downgrade to win 10 yet.

Directly from the FAQ from the devs.

«Do I have to be running Windows 10 to play?

Yes. For this game to work, users must be running the Windows 10 operating system.»

said every microsoft game on steam.

yet fact is. majority can run on win 7 and some that didnt can easily be changed by fixes from the community.

lets not forget new titles out, even microsoft titles released are win 7 compatible, as well the store saying win 7 or higher.

also as mentioned and the reason why compatibility issues arise between windows OS’s.

some dx versions may not be compatible with your version of OS, but can be fixed by adding in certain dll’s and d3d’s and have it work, not fully compatible but good enough that a game can run without issues.

as an example dx 11.3 wasnt compatible with win 7 according to microsoft, yet microsoft worked with WOW and other game devs and ported dx 11.3 to those games, all by adding in dll’s and d3d’s.

The game is for Xbox One and Xbox Play Anywhere, which is only capable with Windows 10, that is the main reason why it’s Windows 10 only.

The game has also been out for 2 years already and a little research on your part would show you that it is NOT Win 7 compatible. Sorry OP, but looks like if you want to give Sea of Thieves a go it’s either get your PC updated to Windows 10 or look at buying an Xbox One and paying that subscription to even play online.

yet games like «age of empires de» (1 or 2) were NOT compatible with win 7 either, yet community members posted threads and tracked issues and what they added in to get the game working and once the community members fixed the compatibility issue, the devs released an update adding in what was missing and the game was then officially compatible with win 7, as is the case with other titles.

«play anywhere» has nothing to do with the game stating «win 10 only», also. steam doesnt have «play anywhere»

play anywhere is. and i quote.

«Xbox Play Anywhere is a cross-buy program that will allow gamers who digitally purchase games to play them on both their console and PC at no extra cost.

This means that if you’re tired of playing a game on your Xbox One, you can pick it up where you left off on your Windows 10 PC, taking your save games, add-ons, and achievements with you.»

so. it has nothing to do with compatibility for the game itself, its simply a program that allows what is mentioned in the quote above, its essentially a microsoft version of cloud saving, which saves your game data to the cloud so you can pull that info up onto a completely different computer.

steam users dont need «play anywhere».

so we can safely ignore any misinformation Flam3 has said.

AoE isn’t an ONLINE ONLY game meaning that the multiplayer portion of the game is hosted by the player when they set up a game, so the things that the community done to make it compatible with Win 7 won’t work here. That is also why the game doesn’t require an Xbox live account, which you were adamant there was but proven wrong.

Play Anywhere has everything with it being Windows 10 only, you have literally just proved my point by posting what it is about, it’s also funny how you missed the massive text on the main page saying this — «Now when you own an Xbox Play Anywhere digital title, it’s yours to play on both Xbox One and Windows 10 PC.» News flash, Sea of Thieves is a digital title for Xbox Play Anywhere.

You can’t use the Play Anywhere feature on Windows 7 as it is only supported by Windows 10. hence why Sea of Thieves can only be played on Windows 10. as it is using the Play Anywhere feature of Xbox. and that is the very reason why if you buy it on Steam you are required to sign in with your Xbox account, so it is ran via the Play Anywhere feature for Windows 10. Steam users won’t be just playing with other Steam users due to the fact that you are using Steam as a launcher for the game to play via your Xbox account, hence why you are required to have an Xbox account to even play the game which again, you got proved wrong about not needing.

You are the one spreading misinformation here as the developers themselves has stated quite clearly that it is only for WINDOWS 10.

Again, it has been 2 years since this game was released for PC for Windows 10 and Windows 10 alone, and there are countless threads and information about how it does not and will not work with Windows 7.

The only person spreading misinformation here has been you and on countless occasions. FACT.

Помогите, проблема в чём: в стиме при запуске играть на пару секунд отображается что она запущена, а после этого опять отображается кнопка «играть». При запуске через корневые файлы выдаёт ошибку: точка входа в процедуру createfile2 не найдена в библиотеке dll kernel32.dll. (Пожалуйста, не пишите по типу «поставь совместимость или запусти от имени админа», уже пробовал!)

Из-за операционки, т. к. в системных указано что она на 10 винду а у меня 7 винда. Есть кто играл на 7 винде?

Игра работает только на Win 10, даже стимовская версия использует Microsoft Store и Xbox App для игры.
На 7 винде этого нет.

Как писали выше только WIndows 10
Никаких патчей что бы запустить игру на Windows 7 не существует

странно но когда я играл с другом она шла у него на 7-ке

Последнее время на форумах часто появляется вопрос, почему не запускается Sea of Thieves Steam. Появление проблем может быть связано со многими причинами, к примеру, повреждением файлов, несовместимостью, загрязнением кэша и иными проблемами. Ниже рассмотрим, чем может быть обусловлен сбой, и как правильно действовать для его устранения.

Что делать

После рассмотрения теоретической части перейдем к практике и поговорим о том, что делать для решения возникшей проблемы.

Проверьте папку на наличие исполнительного файла

В ситуации, когда не запускается Sea of Thieves в Steam без ошибки, проверьте интересующую папку на наличие исполняемого файла. Но куда он мог деться после корректной установки? Иногда антивирусная программа воспринимает файл в качестве вредоносного и удаляет компонент. Чтобы этого не произошло, необходимо добавить Sea of Thieves в исключения.

В каждом антивирусном ПО подходы идентичны, но есть один универсальный способ:

1. Кликните правой кнопкой мышки по символу Sea of Thieves.
2. Наведите курсор на название антивируса.
3. Найдите пункт вроде Добавить в исключения.

Теперь проверьте, запускается игра в Steam или нет. Если приведенные выше шаги не дали результата, переходите к следующему этапу.

Проверьте файлы на факт повреждения

Если Sea of Thieves не запускается в Стиме, причиной может быть повреждение или случайное удаление важных файлов из-за действия антивируса, как отмечалось выше, или проблемах при установке.

Для устранения неисправности сделайте следующее:

• Войдите в библиотеку Steam.
• Найдите Sea of Thieves.
• Жмите правой кнопкой мышки по игре.
• Войдите в Свойства и Локальные файлы.
• Выберите проверку целостности или пересчет кэша.

• Дождитесь проверки и загрузки новых компонентов. Время выполнения этого процесса может быть различным.

Теперь перезагрузитесь и проверьте работоспособность игры, и, если она не запускается, переходите к следующему шагу.

Проверьте утилиту на совместимость

На форумах часто встречаются жалобы, мол, не запускается Sea of Thieves в Steam в Windows 7. После перехода на «десятку» проблема уходит сама собой. Для восстановления работоспособности есть два пути — установить более новую версию ОС или включить режим совместимости.

Для этого сделайте следующее:

• Жмите по исполнительному файлу Sea of Thieves правой кнопкой мышки. Его легко распознать по расширению EXE.
• Войдите в пункт Свойства .
• Найдите раздел Совместимость .

• Поставьте отметку в поле Запускаться в режиме совместимость с ХХХ (вместо ХХХ укажите операционную систему). На этом этапе можно попробовать несколько вариантов.

Если Sea of Thieves все равно не запускается через Стим, попробуйте другие способы решения проблемы.

Установите недостающие элементы библиотеки

Для нормальной работы Sea of Thieves в Steam необходим полный набор дополнительных компонентов, к примеру, Framework, DirectX и других. В нормальном режиме они устанавливаются автоматически вместе с игрой в Steam, но иногда этого не происходит по разным причинам. Для решения проблемы сделайте следующее:

1. Войдите в папку с Sea of Thieves.
2. Перейдите в каталог CommonRedist.
3. Найдите необходимые файлы и поочередно установите их.

После этого перезапустите ПК и проверьте, запускается Sea of Thieves в Steam или нет. В большинстве случаев проблема должна быть решена.

Удалите лишний процесс

При ответе на вопрос, что делать, если не запускается Sea of Thieves в Стиме, эксперты часто рекомендуют проверить процессы и удалить лишний в случае его зависания. Нередко бывают ситуации, когда игра уже закрыта, а сам процесс остается висеть активным. Логично, что в таком случае вторичный запуск в Steam становится невозможным. Для устранения проблемы сделайте следующее:

1. Войдите в Диспетчер задач на Виндовс.
2. Найдите во вкладке процессы нужный (с названием Sea of Thieves).
3. Выделите пункт и завершите его работу. (на скрине показываем процесс на примере самого приложения Стим)

После выполнения этого шага рекомендуется перезагрузить ПК и проверить, запускается игра или нет.

Почистите кэш Steam

Распространенная причина, почему не запускается Sea of Thieves в Steam в Windows 10 — загрязнение кэша программы. Как результат, появляются конфликты с игрой. Для очистки сделайте следующие шаги:

1. Выйдите из учетной записи. Для этого жмите на логин справа вверху и кликните на раздел смены пользователя.
2. Закройте Steam.
3. Войдите в папку софта.
4. Найдите разделы appcache и Cache .
5. Удалите обе. Предварительно сохраните копии, чтобы при возникновении проблем вернуть все на место.
6. Перезапустите ПК.

Далее программа Steam запускается и загружает необходимые элементы. При этом кэш очищается от лишней информации.

Проверьте сам Стим

Иногда Sea of Thieves не запускается на ПК в Steam из-за проблем с самой программой. Для ее проверки сделайте следующее:

1. Проверьте Steam с помощью антивирусного ПО.
2. Удалите и снова установите программу.
3. Почистите реестр с помощью специального софта, к примеру, CCleaner.
4. Загрузите важные обновления системы.
5. Отключите брандмауэр и антивирусное ПО.
6. Почистите кэш Steam (как это сделать, рассмотрено выше).
7. Обновите драйвера, в первую очередь, видеокарты.

Дополнительные шаги

Если после выполненных шагов Sea of Thieves все равно не запускается в Стим, могут потребоваться другие шаги. Сделайте следующее:

• Войдите в Центр сообщества Steam , перейдите в раздел Обсуждения и поищите ответ на вопрос.

• При появлении ошибки копируйте ее в поисковую систему и попробуйте найти ответ.

• Если ничего не помогает, а Sea of Thieves не запускается в Steam, попробуйте переустановить операционную систему.

Причины

Sea of Thieves появилась в Steam только в 2020 году почти сразу стала бестселлером. Впервые игра была выпущена весной 2018 года, но из-за ряда технических особенностей она никак не попадала на Стим. В 2020-м разработчики наконец закончили ряд доработок, позволивших внедрить излюбленное развлечение в приложение и сделав его доступным миллионам игрокам. К сожалению, в вопросе интеграции могут возникнуть трудности, требующие решения.

Для начала разберемся, почему не запускается Sea of Thieves в Стиме. Этому может быть несколько объяснений:

1. Повреждение файлов.
2. Отсутствие исполняемого документа.
3. Несовместимость с операционной системой.
4. Отсутствие необходимого набора библиотек.
5. Зависание процесса.
6. Загрязнение кэша.
7. Сбои в работе самого Steam.
8. Прочие проблемы.

Что делать, если другие игры не запускаются в Стим, читайте в отдельной статье.

• Hi, I pre-ordered the game a little while back and I’ve since come to notice that everywhere the PC version is referred to, they mention windows 10.

  Now I’ve never experienced a game requiring windows 10 to be used, but then again, SoT is being released by microsoft studios, so I wouldn’t be completely surprised…

  So my question is: Can SoT be played on a win7 PC? Any help from devs or people who played any of the betas would be greatly appreciated.

• This game has been listed as Win10 and Xbox One only.

  Even at Potato settings, it’d prolly not run on Win7.

  No better excuse to upgrade then some sweet SoT action!

• @Rawesome88 Microsoft is pretty know for locking things pc wise DX being one of them. To push people to upgrade which I have no problem with as they gave everyone a free upgrade. Which is really kind of them. At moment to play Sea of Thieves on PC you will need two things. A Windows 10 and access to the windows store. and B «Most of the time a newer update of windows 10» Most games are also locked behind a update number which is a pain at times but we do what we must.

• To put it simple Sea of Thieves is only playable at this time on Windows 10 through the «Windows Store» or on «Xbox» with enhanced features on the Xbox one X

• I truly recommend you to upgrade your pc. W10 is an awesome OS..

• Thanks to everyone for the replies. So it is as a I feared
  I run Win10 on my laptop and I dislike every change they made.

• It’s never simple to use a new OS, you have to do pratice, to know better all of its features… And, at least, you’ll love it… I’m sure about that

• Indeed, I upgraded my potato to Win10 specifically for the SoT Closed Beta.
  Had to get a new monitor as well. Been more than a few years since a game title made me want to upgrade my rig.
  BTW, the game doesn’t require a high end gaming rig. The awesome graphics scale down pretty well. But you will need Win10.

• @rawesome88 Nahh. For me Windows 10 is the way to go. Looks nicer, runs better and has better support and of course everything windows related is better like the windows(microsoft)store. And I need my SoT.

• If U have enough disk space U can install Win10 as a secondary OS — just for playing SoT .

• Windows 10 is a must im afraid. It made me upgrade from 7 just to test the potato settings (I have a shockingly bad gpu considering the rest of my pc is good haha).

  If anyone is interested, the free windows upgrade is still doable, if you google how theres legit ways to do with through microsofts own site. Theyve basically removed the upgrade button update from windows 7 but not removed the file needed to upgrade. It was working as a couple of weeks ago anyway. My logic being I may not like win 10 hence I was holding out on 7 but no way in hell I am paying for it ever haha, especially as its obvious support will get dropped sooner or later. That said, since using 10, really aint that bad once you turn off as much as the trash as you can.

• you cant play it and they won’t implement it. It is a marketing move for xbox and windows 10.

• @capt-neuromante

  I agree. At this point, I like it even more than I did Win7.

• My friend just got his free win 10 upgrade so its still.available.
  And win 10 is actually a really good OS.
  Im old and hate change but in all honesty this was not bad at all.

• Why not just install a Virtual Machine and play in there?

• Unfortunately there is no software way to have cross play anymore without W10. We all hated GFWL so much that they finally killed it and Shadowrun and FFXI were the only cross titles on that afaik. Windows 10 is basically the same across Xbox and pc, making this simple log in and play function possible. So it’s really not Rare or M$oft trying to sell you windows, just that the W7 method is truly dead because we all hated it so much.

• I really don’t like that SoT isn’t on Windows 7. I know for a fact that their PC player base would double if it were. I have many friends (like myself) who refuse to «upgrade» despite how good the game looks. I’ve been running Windows 10 on a separate drive just to play SoT. And while I’ve enjoyed the game, Windows 10 is as bad as everyone says. I’ve had so many issues with it, e.g. just trying to download the game. The M$ store is garbage and restarts the download randomly (which is very frustrating on a slow internet connection). It even corrupts files of the app you download (I had to download SoT three times before it finally worked). There’s no repair feature for apps either. Contrast that with Steam that works like a charm, 99.999% of the time, I’ve never seen it randomly restart a download, has a repair feature, has a backup feature, has bandwidth limiting, AND is compatible with Windows 7.

  Windows 10 is a dumpster fire. It’s a bandwidth hog. You have no control over updates to the OS that are completely unnecessary. You can’t uninstall apps that are completely unnecessary. And if you get a driver update that breaks a game, you’re screwed until they send out a new driver because it won’t let you install the old one. Sometimes the damn thing won’t even boot unless I unplug all my internal drives EXCEPT for the one it’s installed on.

  Rare, I implore you… I beg you… please, please, PLEASE fight to have this game on Steam and compatible with Windows 7.

• Windows 10 sucks pretty hard compared to 7. Especially if you’re proficient or above with pc’s. At least in terms of visual appearances such as the start menu you can get rid of Window 10’s god awful layout and replace it with 7 or XP’s layout with a simple google search for the program.

  It won’t be changed though, Microsoft are bank rolling this game so I doubt it’ll be coming to Steam any time soon if at all.

• @terra-domitor it isn’t going to happen. there is a post by @teddy-25 that goes into specifics and reasoning but PlayAnywhere is a good enough reason (can’t find the post due to forum reshuffle/tidying.) As for Steam, why would they? It’s a Windows game, using Microsoft services etc …why pay Steam a cut?

• «it isn’t going to happen.» -> You just lost a shitload of costumers there. I have w10, unfortunately, and even having it, I’m not buying this game just because of this ridiculous support to Micro$osft. Windows store?? Have a nice day. Everyone I told about this game, as soon as heard it is bound to M$, chose not to buy it. No steam, is this a joke? Lol. This is actually sad since this game looks so awesome. But still… there are others to fill the gap.

• I’m afraid not. Upgrade time!

  Or no Sea of Thieves Time!

  Or Buy an Xbox Time!

• @tbr-zombie

  Refusing to buy a game because the store it’s on.. makes sense.

• hi guys can one of u help me, whenever i try to install win 10 my usb drivers stop working so i can only navigate with a ps2 mouse. i tried a clean install with a boot cd and the normal upgrade but nothing is fixing it. i really wanna play sea of thieves but because i cant use any usb device i cant play

• @illxx-mbz-xx Simply an example of how bad windows 10 still is. Love the bandwagoning in the beginning of this thread too.

• it’s too bad i wanted to play this but i really didnt like 10 windows7 is far superior and im not letting micr$oft force me into buying a sub-par os for 1 game

• 39.6k (and counting) VIEWS of this thread might translate in monetary terms as 40,000 potentially disappointed windows 7 users. each wanting to buy SOT at £50.00 a copy which equates to 2 million pound in lost revenue.

  just saying M$!

  You could easily port the xbox app for crossplay.

• [mod edited] windows 10. 50k and waiting

• @r4ygold dead posts should be stayed dead

• Keep this alive — no one in their ‘right mind’ jumps over to Windows 10 gung-ho.

• @bambino133t It’s against the rules to bump threads that are older than two days. And no, no one in their right mind is not yet on Windows 10, because it is faster, slimmer and more secure.

• Unfortunately this is not possible, but there is a great reason to update!

• Saying this game couldn’t run on Win7 is not true, it would likely run better because Win7 uses less resources period and generally has the same infrastructure to run applications like this.
