An update is asked for runnig the blitzbasic3D compiler under Win8 and Win10 . Can you propose it on the blitzbasic site ?

Blitz3D is a great language in my opinion and very quick to get results in. The compiler is running fine under Win8 & 10, and perfectly capable of creating games/apps if you like. Only thing is that DX7 is aging a bit and would be nice to have a more recent one. But someone (Ploppy) is working on that and also an x64 version. Officially this is not going to happen via BRL though as Mark(the original creator) is more focused on MonkeyX 2, so this should answer your question.

You're welcome. I do too. Gives me back that good old Comodore feeling.

I refer to the update for Windows8 called " DirectPlay " .
It is a Windows feature that is required to launch the editor.
The error message is:
"Compiler environment error"
"Unable to open runtime.dll" .
"OK"

Thanks
Prym

@Prym>>Normally Windows shows a message where it prompts you to install directplay, and once you have done that, all works well.
However it would be better if we could remove the directplay system from Blitz3d... (if possible)
