@Dr Super Good mmm, the Windows part of that is software, if I am not mistaken ?
Also, sometimes, they'd also include driver versions for video/sound cards in those recommendations.
I am not entirely sure if "Software, not Hardware" is appropriate, as those are neither, it is "recommended specifications" which are often(if not always) both software & hardware?
I mean, if we generalize this, it is Version X of A, Version Y of B, Version Z of C, etc.
When I give this a second thought and we take a look at the development process,
I can agree that "Recommended" != "Saved under version X of WE" as updating from version X to Y while in development may not reveal some bugs/errors/differences/mistakes/overlooks/etc. that have occurred in-between versions. As such, it is highly unlikely that in such cases it is a "recommended"...
Having this in mind, I cannot think of a proper word/term for this at the moment...
"Target" actually implies that the map has been developed with this particular version in mind. "Stable" & "Working" implies extensive testing and sounds like guarantee for quality, which unfortunately is almost never the case...
Maybe actually putting it as what it actually is: "Last updated with version: 1.29" or something similar...
@pyf C&C:Gen was just as an example as it fit perfectly to the discussion, I am not looking for help to get it working at all.
Vanilla versions bought years ago, would not work under Vanilla Win8 (they do on 7 though). Vanilla = as from shop, without you doing anything, "Please, insert disc here"
You could do something about this though, either get the bundle from origin and do some weird things or do A LOT of weird things to get it working.
Also, I've opened google about this the moment I got my laptop 3y ago.
