Does it work with Vista?

Monis

I've been thinking about jumping back into CoV or CoH but I just upgraded my PC to vista. So does anyone know if there are any problems running the game on vista?

I don't have Vista myself, but I heard Vista doesn't handle OpenGL games very well which CoX is.

Runs smooth on my system and I run Vista Ultimate. There is a problem with ATI 1950 cards and drivers for 3d games, if you have one of those disable the hotkey poller. After I did that the game ran just fine.

The other thing is you may/maynot have to do is add the -compatibleCursors to the shortcut to be able to view your mouse.

Check their main forums under Technical Issues and Bugs. You don't have to be a member to view them and you can see what other Vista users have done to get the game to run. I did not have to do anything, your system may be different.

You could always install your CDs and get them patched and sign up with a alt email for a free trial and get in there just to see if the game runs and to see what is new with the game.

Goodluck!

I tried to download the game (can't find the disks) and while it was updating my system crashed. So I guess it wont work for  me :P
