Has anyone noticed that while certain features have improved in performance that multi-tasking performance has decreased since the public release of Beta 2 :/ And yes it's a little glitchier (i.e. explorer suddenly changing to the classic theme with the windows start sound, and then returning to normal the next second or graphical glitches) but that's ok.

I'm also hoping that Vista will eventually change and integrate the Advanced Security section of the firewall with the rest of it :)

^^^^^^

I agree fully.

I'm impressed with the features in 5456, but the performance has gone way down overall. People are claiming high per-application performance rates, but explorer freezes often, and i have the audio/video glitch thing too.

Its strange but there is so many people having problem after problem with Vista builds, well thats understandable but sometimes it just seems to much. For the past 3 builds including Beta 2 i never get a problem like most you are having it. Vista has been runing just as smooth as XP for the past 3 builds as i mentioned above, excluding my Audigy 4 Pro drivers which it dn't bother me coz i use a USB sound card. This build its absolutely brilliant and for me there is no such a thing as freezin or locked up Explorer and definitly there ain't any performance lost.

As i've said before, a lot of people are trying to have Vista as main OS and runing on quite slow machines which really this is not intended for slow machines because its the Ultimate Edition and i guess thats why a lot of people in here are having problem with lot of laggin, explorer freezes.

Yesterday i was doing some intensive testing, i had Vue Infinite 5 rendering a 3D map by 1600x1200 and i was playing counter strike source at the same time, never crashed and i still got 30 up to 35fps. So i think in order to have the full potential testing of Vista Ultimate Edition you got to have a really fast machine i don't mean top-end but decent fast. Explorer has never crashed since the December 2005 CTP (Build 5270). Every build i've tested so far, i always had to run some heavy apps just to see how vista handles it. Video editing and 3D rendering is what i always shot Vista builds with ;) and yet it performs just as good as Windows XP.

You can't really open so many threads about vista not being compatiable with this with that and so on, its a bit silly because its up to the software venders and also hardware vender to sort out the drivers and the compatiablity not just M$, and i'm sure they will work on that asap.

My problem is that I had Beta 2 installed from the day it was released till two days before the new build when it totally crapped out on me.

Beta 2 wasn't as fast as 5465 but it was stable. I think 5456 is a huge step back in multi-tasking.

UAP is much less obtrusive, but it is buggy as hell, and many actions simply fail because UAP isn't triggered and the required permission isn't found.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

      With how far Tim Apple's head has been up Trump's ass, there's no way this was done reluctantly.
