If that's the case, that so called "clean" install is probably not going right.

Microsoft has blocked a lot of programs in Windows 10 so ppl are forced to use a newer version, one of them is the old Lenovo battery manager gauge (gadget) in the taskbar that one is blocked and needs to be unblocked if u r on a clean Windows 10 installation, but if u come from a Windows 7 or 8/8.1 it will still be there and working.

I am talking about the old one that was introduced since GOD knowns when:

I have been playing Borderlands 2 on Windows 10 maxed out with maxed PhysX, runs fine, though the FPS drop is not nice.

I can confirm for you Mafia II works perfectly, however it did not to begin with.

Go to. C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Mafia II\_CommonRedist\DirectX\Jun2010 and run the DirectX setup, this is all i had to do to get it working.

Smashed on max settings with PhysX pumping full bore, 670 got toasted.

Mafia II reports Windows 10 as Win 7.. ignore it LOL.

I also pumped up nVIDIA DSR for you, Mafia II has no issues, at least for me.

Maybe so, but I doubt they'd be randomly blocking games for no reason. This thread IS about Mafia 2 not working isn't it?

Anyway, I'm content to wait until W10 has got more of the bugs worked out. Seems a lot of people are having problems even with games that DO run. Then again, a lot of that could be Nvidia and AMD not being up to speed on drivers, or some games needing patching.
