BKGaming: Thanks Goatboy, I'll add these later today when I have time... I'll just mark the Ultima games all compatible as I don't know their titles. xD

GoatBoy: Be careful: I didn't try Ultima 8 and Ultima 9, so I can't guarantee for these.
Here are the names of the games I tried, according to GOG catalogue:
Ultima 1+2+3
Ultima 4+5+6
Ultima 7 The Complete Edition
Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss and Ultima Underworld II: Labyrinth of Worlds
Sacrifice
Daikatana
Thanks. :)
Star Wars: Jedi Academy works. I had an error at first, then I started the game directly through the .exe. Now I can launch it through Galaxy without issues.
Star Wars: Dark Forces works. I had to choose the "Overlay" graphic setting trough the DoxBos configurator, since the default "OpenGL" crashed.

Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 and Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 - Mysteries of the Sith don't work. When I launch them they appear as processes, but the games don't start at all. I tried various combination (launch directly the program, admin permission, compatibility modes, intel VS nvidia graphic card), they simply don't work.

edit: partial solution found here: delete the winmm.dll file from the game folder. I don't know what you will miss (apparently the music), but the game will otherwise work.

ChrisPritchard and wagion.762 reported here that Call to Power 2 does not start on Windows 10 build 10162. Compatibility modes do not help.

With the latest build (it should be the RTM) Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 randomly crashes. I suggest not to play the game, or to save often. Actually no, you shouldn't play period: sometimes it crashes even while saving.

Gaahhh NOOOOooo*.....Wait, it's flatout, not fallout...

Phew, *puts heart back in chest..
Thanks everyone, list has been updated.
Caesar III and Pacific General works fine in RTM. Thanks a lot for the list.
I contacted Support about moving to another drive containing Windows 10.

They said to use GOG and download the game and install it and copy the savedgames over from the old drive.

I have Windows 8.1 and Witcher 3 on one drive and Windows 10 on another drive.

I did exactly what they said to do but when I click on the Green Play button in GOG nothing happens.

I dig down and find the bin directory and a x 64 directory and lo and behold there is a witcher3.exe file.

When i click on it, it tells me that the file VCOMP110.DLL is missing and the program cannot start.

Dunno where that file is. Perhaps it's a Windows file.

Contacted support.

They said to manually copy the _redist folder so I did.

No help.

Has anyone had success installing Witcher 3 onto a Windows 10 drive --- NOT installing Windows 10 over a Windows 8.1 installation that already has Witcher 3 installed, but on a FRESH copy of Windows 10 ver 240 ( RTM )?

I always like to start with a new hard drive when I switch to a new OS in order to get rid of any corrupted files and problems instead of carrying them over into the new OS.

It will be at least tomorrow morning, probably, before I get any more feedback from support because they are in Poland and are sleeping now.

So I thought I would ask here, as well.

You may want to try this:

after installing the game, go to the folder where you installed Witcher 3 (Usually, GOG games/The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt/), open the folder _redist, then MSVC2012_x64 and launch vcredist_x64.

After this, launch Witcher 3 normally :)
Thank you very very much.

That FIXED the problem, it seems.

Ran that and fxed the redistributables and then it ran and created the Witcher 3 directory in Documents and then I copied by savedgames folder and the other loose files and it worked like a charm --- I think :)

I just fired it up and saw it worked and then quit to come back here and say thanks.

Support tries to help but being on the other side of the Earth makes talking to them via email like a science fiction story where communications take days to go between planets etc. etc

The great people in these forums usually can produce an answer faster. :)

Big thanks guys who helped report games, we are now about 2 days away from the release of Windows 10, hopefully GOG gets patches out on release day or right after for the games that need them.

It's been confirmed that Kotor 1 will not work on Windows 10. I also remember reading that the Steam updated version of Kotor 2 also doesn't work on the new Windows.
