Tried to install it on my Windows Tablet but the damn thing only works on a 64bit OS
I forgot about this, I'm assuming that this is a temporary restriction.

My tablet has a 64-bit chip but the BIOS and OS are 32bit. :/

When its free, you are the product.
They give it for free to migrate people on the W10 version and we all know why and what's underlined

It's 10 bucks though.

its free if you already own the game.
Why would they make a " different " version just for W10 ? marketing ? Or some other shenanigans ? (I'm looking at you GFWL)
Indeed, we are weird here
Yeah, I already have a Qwerty setting, would be better when we will be able to change key in-game though.

Sorry if someone already asked but i'm not seeing the windows 10 version of minecraft in the windows store at all, I know it's a free code for previous owners on pc but I only own it on console and was thinking about dipping in on pc for the beta price.

Made a small video to show new world generation time, how new chunks load in, etc. Upped the distance rate from the default 352 to 500.

Right, it's not a free product if you don't. You can't just throw a stipulation that explicitly still involves a money transaction and qualify it on that giant asterisk

They are probably going to use Minecraft as a trojan horse and get kids to force their parent to upgrade to Windows 10.
And before you know it everything including Steam will have DRM and microtransactions.
Just look at this evil bugger:
That's Steve Ballmer in a costume and you know it!

So it's not free.
You're clearly paying with your soul.

I've redeemed my code, but the install button on the store is greyed out?
Edit: Nevermind, I'll have to wait for the 32 bit version

Huh, that doesn't seem all that much faster than the normal Java version, I expected it to be blazing fast on a good PC.
I'm waiting a few days to upgrade to W10 myself, just want to see how compatibility issues flesh out first with a few things.

If only my penis was as big as my GamerScore!
So is this version no longer Java based?

Game works fine here, the install failed first try but second try downloaded and installed with no issue
Mouse sensitivity is way too high, mouse runs at 450dpi and ingame I set it as low as possible but still very high sens

The new W10 version is C++ / DX11 based, no Java.

Downloaded this on my PC. Not sure how I feel about it yet, don't really play much Minecraft but it seems like a step back as far as options go and somewhat seems like a way to charge you for skins. Will keep at it though. Anyone else have their achievements show up in Japanese or is it just me?
No PayPal, but your first born child is also accepted as valid payment.
Sounds work the same as before except there is now a store. To use custom sounds you just choose v custom on the skin menu and it opens the file browser.
How the fuck do you play coop? I plugged the DS4 in as a second pad and that didn't work and I cannot work out how to connect the PE with W10E, google is failing me on this as well.
OT performance wise it's ace. The world's generate instantly and t the movement is fast and responsive. My 7yr old is emptying it just now and commented on how smooth it is, I assumeb the lack of mods will see him back on the Java version pretty quickly though.
Edit: nvm, it appears MP isn't enabled yet.

I tried it but even though I claimed my full version from mojang and it says so on my billing history, it claims I have the trial version.
Also, when I launch it my speaker plays high pitch static that doesn't go away until I close the program. Disabling sound does nothing.

Due to some bug back in the early days of win8 I believe, never read much into it but that's why the windows tablets out there run 32bit.
A shame that the windows 10 upgrade can't fix that.
Thank you! hm £7.69

Also, Windows 10 is going to get a new build soon with fixes and some more PC-like interface, sorry for pulling a bit of a Windows 8

At least it's a fair asking price.
Yay, that's all I wanted
Wish I could keep my Mojang username instead of my Xbox Gamertag, but oh well.

Honestly, I'm sure their plan is to eventually get the Windows 10 Version up to snuff, then to extend it to the Xbox One and have that replace the 4J version while making it BC with Mobile/Tablet/PC.
I have the Asus X205TA running Atom Z3735 and with optifine, minecraft desktop works perfectly

Are you running that vanilla?
I just tested out Minecraft original version and Windows 10 version on my new HP Stream Mini . I added 4GB of additional RAM on top of the base specs. The original version runs very poorly and I have to turn the fancy effects off. The Windows 10 version is flawless and runs at an extremely smooth framerate.

Is the world size infinite in this version?
The performance is fantastic...but still, no substitute for the graphical mods that I can install in the Java version.
Yep.
Yep.

Managed to stop my apps (+ Minecraft) from crashing before launching by getting the W10 Media Feature Pack. My initial impression: it's pretty terrible.
Extremely limited graphics options, FPS lock (I think), windowed, input lag, and apparently less content than the Java version. The only positive thing I could say about it so far is that it seems to handle chunk loading a lot faster, having distant blocks come into view out of fog in the distance instead of popping into existence in the Java version.

How are you finding Windows 10 on the HP Steam 7? With the technical preview I ran into massive memory issues/overheating causing the CPU to clock really low.
I haven't tried any new builds over the past 2-3 months.
I think I only had it until I managed to redeem the game on the Mojang site and on the Microsoft site, then I think it sorted itself out, although in-game it still gives me the time limit.
Well, it ditches Java so it's less resource intensive, and it will allow cross-play between Pocket Edition versions... Sure, it's a Trojan horse for their own online gaming services... But if it provides a better experience, who cares?...
One day it will be feature complete with the Java version, and there will be little reason not to migrate.
I had the same issue - I don't have a CC on file so I clicked 'buy' to see what happens and I got it for free anyway. I guess it's just a glitch, but if you qualify I reckon it should be OK.

Give it a few years and might check it out. Stock MC is extremely dull, you have to mod to do fun stuff.
