A Way With Words broke on Windows 7 with newest update

Pogo broke the ability to play A Way With Words on Windows 7 with this newest update on Tuesday. When loading the game the screen is distorted and unplayable.

I have tested multiple Windows 7 environments and they all run into the same issue. All other games work on Windows 7 without issues.

Before anyone says, I know Windows 7 is not an operating system suggested by Pogo and Microsoft doesn’t support it anymore.

I work at a major Hospital as an IT director and many corporations still use Windows 7 because of the ease of use on programs and other vital situations. Even some still use Windows XP!

Windows 7 is very user friendly unlike Windows 10/11 and I have never liked the feel of the newest Windows and they cause a lot more headaches in the IT world. Even Windows 10 support will end this year on October 14.

This is sad and I don’t think it would take much to fix this issue on Pogo end.

    I also use Windows 7.   If I get a new PC, I will have it set up to work like Windows 7.  But I will not buy a new PC for a game.

    Thanks for letting us know the problem.  I wish someone at Pogo would take a minute to explain things like this.  Or better yet, fix things so they don't need to be explained.
