Runaway 2 on Vista !

[ShadowHunter]

Hi all,

No, No, Nooooo Runaway 2 won't start on my brandnew Vista system :crazy:

I suspected so much so I have my trusty XP still on a second partition but this really is crap... I supose it has all to do with DirecX9/10 issues.

Seems the DirectX9L is not available yet... I have read rumors about Pendulo developping a Vista patch but I can't find any more info on that.

Does anyone else has experience with Vista and games ? Could you make Runaway 2 work on Vista ?

Oh bummer...

I ve been trying windows vista ultimate dude.And you aint alone in your problems.Ive not tried Runaway 2 but i get 2 fps on pc Title Scratches.Plays totally unplayable and ive had a few other problems with other titles as well.Although a lot of adventure games seem to run perfectly Syberia 1 & 2,Still Life, and loads of others.Dunno what im gunna do about Scratches though thats me best adventure game and its totally unplayable.Luckily like you i set up a Winxp Partition so i can still play my games.Seems to be this Direct X 10 i think cause they work fine in xp and i do have other games like Pro Evolution Soccer 5 and 6 which require higher spec than scratches and work fine

Hi,

I'm able to play Scratches in a fair way on Vista Ultima using the beta drivers for my 1950XTX the frame rate however is indeed very low :\

Vista is clearly not yet an OS for the gamer... guess we have to wait for DX9L.

Cheers,

Vista is a nightmare, the games i have tried on it take ages to load, sometimes a 40 minute wait is necessary to load a level or area in Doom 3. If you are a gamer leave Vista alone for the time being is my advice.

I was gonna get Vista but now I think I'll wait now.
