Cesium for unity with windows 7

Cesium for Unity
1

Hi everyone,

I’m currently trying to run Cesium for Unity on a machine with Windows 7, but it seems unsupported officially. I’ve checked the documentation and found that Cesium requires Windows 10 or newer, likely due to Unity version and system dependencies.

Unfortunately, upgrading to Windows 10 is not an option for this particular system at the moment (due to legacy software constraints). So I’m wondering:

  • Has anyone managed to get Cesium for Unity working on Windows 7?
  • Are there any workarounds, compatibility layers, or older Cesium versions that might still work on Win7?
  • Alternatively, is it possible to run the Cesium plugin in headless/server mode or with minimal graphics requirements?

Any help, experience, or creative workaround would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Hi @jkldsajkdlsa, welcome to the community!

Please see my answer here to a similar question regarding Cesium for Unreal:

We’ve never supported Windows 7 in any version of Cesium for Unity or Cesium for Unreal, as this OS was out of support before the very first release of either.

If you don’t need any graphics capabilities, you may want to take a look at Cesium Native, which is the low-level library underlying both products:
