List of Games that work on Windows Vista

[Guest]

I was wondering if we could start to compile a list of Games that work on
Windows Vista... As this would make it easier for many of us..

I was wondering if we could start to compile a list of Games that work on
Windows Vista... As this would make it easier for many of us..

I have.

Zoo Tycoon 2*
Half-Life 2*
Civilization 4*
Battlefield 2
Rise of Legends
Quake III Arena***
Unreal Tournament 2003***
Oblivion
Morrowind
Black and White 2
Warcraft 3**
World of Warcraft
Halo
Ghost Recon Advanced Warfigher
Sim City 4*
Guild Wars
Call of Duty 2
FEAR

*Problems, on my setup I had to run them into a window first to prevent them
from crashing, I'm assuming a video driver bug not letting them pick up
resolution details. Others have mentioned lowering the desktop resolution
to the same as their default start-up resolution resolves it too.

**Works fine with retail version, but latest patch breaks sound.

***Mouse acceleration seems to be turned on.

That's the list so far.

Vista. Works great ^_^

Add Command & Conquer Generals and Zero Hour to the working list. (Vista
32bit, yet to try on Vista x64)

Starwars Galaxies works in Vista also.

 

[Steve Lange]

Starcraft is running good but patches need to be run as administrator
otherwise you'll get an error.

C&C Renegade also works fine.

Add Fifa 2006. Works like a charm, but desktop resolution has to be changed
to 1024*768 before the game is run.

GTA San Andreas works quite well, not perfect, some gfx glitches with
vertical lines, but runs without slowdowns on my system.

Battlefield 2 not installing

Hi all,

Has anyone had an issue installing this game? I have tried unsucessfully as
it tries to install DirectX 9.0c, I cancel that as I dont want to override
the DirectX 10 setting on Vista... Am I doing this wrong?? Your help is
appreciated.

I have problems with Oblivion after updating to beta 2. It plays fine for a
short few minutes the quits and system crashes.

 

[Zapper]

That sucks..
It 'Can" work fine under Vista, both x86 and x64. I have had a couple
freezes and crashes..but have also had 20+ hours of excellent playtime under
Vista..both versions.
