   Just wanted to add a precision to your list
   you can add heroes 5 and dynasty warriors 4 hyper , they work perfectly

   But worms 4 has nothing to do here…

   yes after some (hard) work, the game launches…. but except for the “défi” section, it will escape systematically after the first mission…

   so there’s running games and “running” games!

    Company of heroes works fine on Home premium, dont know about Ultimate edition

    If black n white 2 is refusing to install then i guess theres some problem in installation …
    try uninstalling, manually deleting files then again installing
    Might work….

    Civilization 4 will absolutely not run on vista home edition. I even installed DX again and put the resolution down.

    I have a new laptop which came with this stupid software, and I will be reformatting and installing XP tomorrow. What a piece of junk.

    And the macintosh ad making fun of “cancel and allow” was spot on, every single action you take is questioned by the system.

    lionmacgregor says Freedom Fighters works (with some minor graphical problems) but when I run the game on my Vista, there are no graphical problems whatsoever but the game just runs twice as fast. When I move my character, he runs extremely fast, en also conversations are way faster than it normally should be like…

    Does anyone know a solution for that? (I’ve tried XP compatibility mode and also run as administrator) My specs are way above the minimum requirements.

    It depends on the system you have. I’m running a quad core with 2gigs corsair. My system still crashes due to the crappy 8800 nvidia drivers for vista. Many of these games crash due to this.

    guru3d.com has some unofficial 8800 drivers u all can test those thou. But personally Vista = to shit maybe someone might hack DX 10 support for XP one day i just don’t want to go to Vista again.

    I am trying to play Gothic 3 on my brand new HP with Vista. It gets through the loading process after I hit New Game and then the screen goes black and it says, Caused a Exception Access Violation in Module at 011B:0000005A.

    I noticed you said that there are two files that Vista will not allow the program to download. Is there a way to play this game.

    Thanks a lot.

    Who wants to run Vista64? Its as slow as hell.

    Vista32 wont install Simcity4 due to a problem with the Securom Protection on the game, I dont think there is any way around it, short of installing XP again ;-)

    If you get a message then its the 32bit version and maybe not possible to be used on 64bit
    One thing that i dont understand is why do people use 64bit vista.
    Vista 32bit itself has lot of problems and one can imagine how a 64bit would be.

There is no error message, and it doesn’y quit after a bit, just kinda sits there. I finally have to ctrl+alt+del to get it to shut down. Any suggestions on what I may be doing wrong, or what it takes to fix it? Oh, BTW, C&C3 works perfectly, but who would of doubted that.

    I have very important news for Vista gaming!!! You guys know how games crash somtimes, and have….errors? Like in STALKER, the sky will only show on anyhting besides static lighting. I have just found a solution for this STALKER problem and many others.
    Vista, of course, can only read about 2 gigs of memory. Most games need 3 gigs…there is a way to make Vista read 3 without screwing up your games with complicated mods…
    You have to go into “system” in the system options (RAM, processor speed) then click on “Advanced System Settings.” then go to “Advanced,” then “Performance.” Go to “Advanced” under Performance, then click “Change” on the bottom. Click on “Custom” size, then put “3067″ in both tabs. This will change the System Paging File size, allowing Vista to read more memory. I just found this out, just wanted to share it with the world (mostly the world of STALKER players).

    Warcraft 3 doesnt work for me in vista, could install when set compatibility to xp service pack 2 but coulndt update it to v1.21.

    When cracked and brought over from my other laptop, the game would not run under XP or windows98/me compatibility.

    Just a blank screen. excluded visual screen and desktop composition and same crap.

    Gabe, you fixed my one niggle with STALKER, you’re a genius. Didn’t even think of that one. +CoH runs more frames and I’m sure you,ve fixed a few other peoples problems as well. Just to throw my 2 cents worth in, try installing under Run as an Administrator and then run the exe as an administrator. That seemed to get a couple more games going for me.

    Amanda,

    I think I ran into the same issue with RCT3 on my XP Box, and I had to do a couple things to fix it. I had to run it in Windowed Mode. I would also suggest trying compatibility Mode in Vista, so it runs as Windows XP SP2. You may also want to run it with Administrator Access. These are explained further up in this Post.

    Jon Doe,

    Vista Ultimate runs most games easier than any other version of Vista. It’s by far the easiest of the Vista’s to work with (its not so user-friendly its annoying). I do know, Aero function does tend to screw some game engines up, but other than that, any of the games listed above should work with your Ultimate Vista.

    *Side note, if you would maybe ask more politely, people would be more inclined to answer your questions…

    Also, to the user above who could not get AOE2 installed onto Vista - It’s one of two things. Being a huge AOE2 fan myself, I know ti works great on my version of Windows Vista Ultimate.

    1 - Your CD is either scratched or mudded up. Try cleaning it really good. I had a CD of AOE2 I tried to install, and the smallest little scratch on the surface wouldn’t let me get past 45%. Got a new CD, and it worked fine.

    2 - Either UAC (User Account Control), FireWall, or Hard drive space. Check all of those. If you still can’t get it to install, try disabling a couple of the Windows Safegaurd components.

    Keatre,

    Thank you for your answer. I have waited for a while to hear something, but I will be sure to check that over when I get home. I also have an XP box I can try it on, so I am gonna try installing it there, to see if it truly is an issue with Vista, or the disk itself. Anyways, thanks again, and I will be sure to post, if one of those fixes the issue

     I still don’t think of Windows Vista as my Gaming OS..
     and Anyone who does any PC heavy gaming shouldn’t be running Windows Vista as their Main OS.

     Just like when Windows XP came out, I used to have a Dual-Boot with Windows 98 to run my games (Better Performance), and XP for the rest because of it’s stability…

     So I would be waiting for SP2 to start considering moving all my computers to the newer OS, but as Of now and the coming months, I’m sticking with Windows XP.

     I start the game right? No error messages or anything.

     The menu pops up, and it is extremely slow! I also tried in-game, but its slow there aswell, making the game unusable.

     So the only problem here is the fact that it is extremely slow, I simply dont get any error or stuff.

     Ive heard something about it being a problem with the graphics card, that you must use an old graphics card, but im not willing to downgrade mine.(Nvidia GeForce 6150 LE)

     I installed Legacy of Kain - Defiance on my Vista Ultimate 32-bit and it works fine, but sometimes you get a black screen when starting the game.

     Onimusha 3 Demon Siege also works, even though The choppy framerate is a little annoying, I don`t really know if is a Vista issue because I didn’t test it on XP. There is a official patch that claims to fix a framerate issue, but I found it useless.

     Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition needs the official v1.3 patch to run on Vista.

     Need for Speed Carbon also needs a patch to work. (if you run it without the patch in win 98/ME compatibility mode it works buts crashes often).

     I recommend to install games on vista not on Program files folder because The default security setting doesn’t allow the game to write inside the game folder, causing errors on many games. Install outside the System folders, or install it on another hard drive.

     Does anyone know if Grandia II or Obscure works on Vista?

     Yeah, i searched he forums alot, and thats the only thing they said i could do, and i do refuse downgrading my graphic card, because then i wont be able to play other stuff.

     What are the unofficial hacked drivers? Are they downgrading my card aswell?

     I’ll try getting Worms Armageddon instead then, because i think its more compatible, and are other solutions.

     How did you managed to run Onimusha 3 on Vista? I installed it, but after the first cgi opening movie begins, like a few seconds in it shuts down. It also begins in window mode, not in full screen, I have to press ALT+ENTER to make it full screen. Can you tell how did you installed it?

     Battlefield works fine if you right click on the shortcut and select “run as administrator”

     That was the game can scan your system, prove you’re not hacking and you won’t get punkbustered.

     I think it’s lame that you could write about it and not be able to figure that out.

     You guys suck.

     Counter-Strike Condition Zero needs a bit of tweaking run in “D3D” mode! Read the official forums for this game…
