GW on Vista
dayoh
Im getting my new comp on Weds so ill finally be getting NightFall, here is my question does GW's work on Vista?
VanishingLight
Yes it works fine, at least for me it does. So if the hardware is compatible with vista it should be no problems.

yep, no issues with vista here... I did when i installed the 64bit version of vista, but the 32bit version works fine

Excellent, thx for the feedback, i cant wait to get into GW, i thought since i could only get one id get NF.
xromania???
btw u think vista can run the other great rpg, diablo? or starcraft, warcraft 3 or... need for speed 4..? cuz these are old. But vista should run all games who can run on XP, if not it isnt better than XP.

I haven't had anything not work on Vista so far - I haven't tried Diablo specifically, but I'm pretty sure if it didn't run I'd have heard about it by now. You can run just about anything on Vista, if it gives you trouble you just set it to XP compat mode.

Hey,
Yea, Prophices is a good game to jump into first to learn the basics of the game.

Not to mention that the production value in Nightfall is the best of the three. If you end up purchasing Nightfall then want to go to the previous chapters, you might be disapointed, which you shoudnt (except factions) because prophecies was great.
If you intend to get into guildwars, I think everyone would agree to get them in this order.
Prophecies>Nightfall>then Factions (if you were really into the other two)

To OP: Vista and Guild Wars work fine!

The real question is "are the Vista drivers for my hardware mature and stable?" If the answer is "yes" then you're probably in good shape.

It seems like the huge amount of memory that vista uses would cause some issues when switching from xp to vista, as there will be less memory free with vista.

ok, some issues with sound drivers, but thats a manafacturers issue, not microsofts and most have caught up, unfortunately, this time round microsoft actually let them do the work themselves and gave them all developement kits and they didn't know what to do on thier own and sone fell behind, but most have caught up with drivers now

Apple software (itunes/quicktime) are not 100% compatible yet. They may be causing excessive memory usage.
I do agree that Vista uses far more memory then XP but it's not as bad as I though.

My Vista takes about 600MB after startup. And GW runs fine. Only thing that pisses me off is that in Vista, the graphics card is always in 3D mode, running at it's max frequency, heating up and making noise. I'm sure Aero would run with with 3/4 of the GPU clock just fine....

Im getting Nightfall, mainly because i only have so much money to spend, and i though NF being the newest, more players etc.
Its all money pending, i originally had planned proph and nightfall, but the new comp is using abit of my money.
Ill have to see how much they are seperate and see from there, the learning curve doesent scare me, i can learn quick to games, most of the time lol
