Hello Walter,

Thank you for contacting Guild Wars Technical Support. Unfortunately, Windows Vista is not a supported operating system for Guild Wars. The only supported operating systems are Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 98, and Windows ME. You might be able to play without any problems, but we cannot be sure how the game will work on an unsupported OS. You would need to switch to a supported OS for us to assist you with this issue. Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Regards,
Guild Wars Technical Support

All new computers being sold have Windows Vista installed on them now.
So get over your self and make the patch for Windows Vista, and stop being a jerk! Unless you are going to buy and give away other versions of windows make the damn patch.

So what do you think?

I think your response might get you a temp. ban.

And it runs fine on vista, even better, less lags actually, well my computer is good to start with anyways.

And whats the point of a patch? Games like CoH, and SupCom, and FlightSimX are going to release patches, because the patch allows the game and the player to take advantage of DX10. Since the GW engine is not changed, there is no point in a patch. If they were to release one, it would be DLed on your computer through the streaming system actually...all I had to say.

Well since you went to all the effort to post a thread and ask the question.
I think you are a very rude/spoiled child and your parents should beat you before someone else does just from your horrid manners and rude behavior.
Thanks for asking.

I think OP needs to be a bit more mature towards ArenaNet.

GW runs fine for me on Vista. So it's likely a problem with your drivers not being updated/supported for Vista. Google around, and you'll find something if you're that desperate. Or just install Windows XP as well in addition to Vista, since Vista doesn't offer much more to the average user.

You ask what we think? I think that's a very harsh and inappropriate response and it makes me sad that someone had to read that.

No matter how strongly you feel about something, or how "right" you believe yourself to be, remember three simple words:

Kindness costs nothing.
