The game stopped supporting Windows 7 after last update because of absence of WinHttpWebSocketReceive in the WINHTTP.DLL

Hello!
Game crashes at launch and shows dialog window about not founded procedure entry point of winhttpwebsocketreceive in WINHTTP.DLL .

I've probably found the reason for this error.
At the bottom of the page there is OS requirement of Windows 8 for this function.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winhttp/nf-winhttp-winhttpwebsocketreceive

Since the support of Windows 7 is officially declared in the Steam page the game is expected to work without such surprises. Silently droping support of OS is kinda illegal😁

We hope Devs will fix this ASAP.
Thank you!

Just recently bought a game. And a mistake. A little insulting. And it turns out that she recently got out of everyone. It became even more insulting

This situation tells us a lot about Test Department of Insurgency: Sandstorm. To be more specific... about the abscence of such Department:)
They dont even launch the build before shipping it to their clients.

you think that's bad, microsoft laid off their entire QA team in 2016, now corporate customers are the beta testers

And that is why we should hold on Windows 7 aka "The last normal Windows" as long as we can:)
