Vista & Windows 7 game compatability list

Added last Remnant to the list.

Everyone planning to try a new game make sure you use the latest download of DirectX also as the version that comes with Windows 7 is only DirectX 10/11 which is the same as Vista.

 

Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance is a go-er on x64.
Get the DirectX from here however: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enhancements/DirectX-9.0c-Redistributable.shtml

 

We have 2 lists don't be lazy posting here go edit the wiki.

And added the link to the first post.

 

Added Morrowind to both lists.

To get it to work you need to replace the binkw32.dll file with one from a recent game as the morrowind one is too old which causes the game to crash at startup.

 

Added Quake 4 and Trials 2 to Windows 7 32bit/64bit list

 

added:

Crysis Wars
World in Conflict
Gears of War
Bioshock

all work on 7!

 

Is anyone going to ammend the COD4 as it now working sweet WITHOUT a dodgey batch file.

 

If you tested it and its fine now you can amend it using the same login as this forum.

 

It's not something I'm familar with sorry.
The game is fine a sweet on 64bit where the issue used to lay on the Beta, the RC and PB are fine now and gameplay is copious.

 

subscribing thanks for this thread.

 

Read the first post I made it very easy for anyone to understand the wiki and have a look at the edit on the page to see you will work it out very quickly.

EDIT: Updated the guide on first post if anyone can do better on the guide feel free to pm me a revised version.

 

Can someone that has CoD4 try multiplayer on Windows 7 64 and 32bit with pubkbuster?

Someone added a addition of the 'I tested this and punkbuster works' to the end without properly editing the comment that was already there.

 

I cant get Punkbuster to work with mine..

added Supreme Commander on the list. 64 bit.. I havent got 32bit. to test it on

 

Added both Freedom Force and Freedom Force Vs the 3rd Reich.

 

anyone had problems with flashing diamonds/ triangles after playing crysis warhead for a while?

 

Installed it a couple of days ago. Seems to work alright in 64 bit win7.

 

Added Mechwarrior 4 : Mercenaries

 

Is anyone able to go through the Win 7 list and UPDATE all the colours reflecting the comments?

Also if people can retest a few games thst seem incorrect.

I don't really trust myself to get the colours right to the comments etc.

Thanks

 

Any update on Punkbuster, Win 7 and COD4?

 

Yeah all fine now. Running some of the POST RC Win7's and the RTM all work fine in x86 and x64 as long as you freshly install COD4 to ensure PB updates to the latest version.

I'm running Win7 x64 Buil 7264 and COD4 runs fine now whereas it didn't before (before=build 7000).
