    Great site!!!
    incredibly helpful, nice work.
    one question – a lot of the games have 32bit in brackets next to them, does this mean that theyre only compatible with 32bit or not tested on 64bit?
    just wondering becuase im customising a new comp, and ill probably need 64bit.
    any help would be great :)

  6. May 9th, 2009 at 22:33 | #6

    NFS: Undercover works fine

    @nick
    Sims 2 and all expansion packs work fine

    @Anon
    you should put in 32bit, although 64bit is better and most games with 32bit WILL work on a 64bit, it is possible (especially with vista) that not all games will be compatible.

    Does anyone knows why in gothic 3 i keep getting this wierd windows called “where is the guru” with a memory exception with a hexadecimal adress? i’ve guessed that is for the massive usage of ram required by the game in fact every time it happens i’m forced to kill the process and i notice that use over 1.5 gigs of ram… i’m totaly buyng new module in order to get to 4 gigs total but in your opinion does it solve my problem with this misterious “guru windows”? i love the game and i hate to quik save every 5 min….
    thanks!

  18. June 12th, 2009 at 07:23 | #18

    Alby, can’t say why it’s happening to you, but I can say I’m playing it right now, too, and I have 4G RAM and DON’T get any error messages from the game. It runs perfectly for me. If you’re running on 2G, I’d say that adding memory would help with your problem, though.*wink*

  19. Alby italy981
    June 12th, 2009 at 23:44 | #19

    thanks Charlene. i’ve guessed that the memory was the point… infact in nordmar i wasn’t getting any error only because the map of the region is smaller than myrtana or varant. hope i didn’t spoiler anything.
    Thanks a lot man.
    O BTW in the list i don’t see Vampire the masquerade redemption (the episode before bloodlines) and i assure that is working perfect!
    @chive yes dude it runs great.

Does anyone have any info or tips on hao I might be able to run this game? I thought I might try running it as the adminitrator but I am not sure how to do that.

    Lords of Magic prepatch loads and runs on Vista.

    Strangely, there are treasure items not found at all in the patched version, like potions that permanently boost dexterity or strength.

    However, the patch itself does not run – Vista’s dialogue box informs me I need an x86 version of the file.

    I re-installed the game in the user directories in case it had something to do with permissions to overwrite files in protected areas – Vista is still a strange bird – but the same result happened when I tried to run the patch. Using the compatibility settings and running under admin had the same results as well.

    If anyone has solved this, I’d love to hear how. Thanks.

    I guess I am very old fashoned. There are some very old games that I loved to play. Yeah, they dont have the speed and action that the new ones do, but my old eyes and hands don’t coordinate that well. I am trying to find out if there are ways to play the Sid Meier’s Pirates, Railroad Tycoon, and Civilization II, Test of Time games on vista machines. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    @bigmike. Man try dosbox. dos emulator for old games if you have the games already. if you are looking for them try gog.com.

    ok then. but some of these games aren’t on it like the sims. there compat. and mortal kombat( though its old ), and some more. i dnt remmber the names. when you’re gonna biuy games l, no prob. just look for vista. when ur dloding, always check with for vista or vista in bracket on ur browser. try this with all ur games you wanna put on ur vista. even if theyre xp. sometimes they’re some newer vista compat. version out

    i would like to say that i have need for speed:road challenge working fine along with deus ex, sims1, sims2, singles, swat 2 & swat 3 all working in windows vista home basic, though sim city 4 installed fine but, it will not play. However, i have not tried compatibilty stuff as of yet, as i forgot about it until today.
