Discontinuing Support for Windows 7, 8 & Vista

On September 19, 2025, the Warface: Clutch team discontinued support for Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows Vista operating systems.

Reasons for ending support for legacy operating systems:

  • Increased vulnerability: Older systems no longer receive updates, which makes them more susceptible to cyberattacks.​
  • Technological limitations: Outdated OS versions lack support for modern APIs and tools, hindering game development.​
  • Testing challenges: Ensuring new content and optimizations work on older systems becomes increasingly difficult.​
  • Low user percentage: The absolute minority of players still use these OS versions.​

Benefits of upgrading to modern operating systems:

  • Enhanced performance: Modern systems utilize PC resources more efficiently, reducing lag and increasing FPS.​
  • Access to new features: Future Warface: Clutch updates will be fully compatible only with Windows 10 and 11.​
  • Improved data security: Current OS versions offer better protection for accounts and devices.​

We recommend that users who are still using Windows 7 or 8 upgrade to Windows 10 or 11. For those with licensed versions, the upgrade is free, and the instructions are available on Microsoft's official website.
