Gaming in Windows 7 BETA


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'm guessing every game/software that is compatible with Vista will run under the final version of Windows 7.. but what about BETA? I want to install it but am afraid my games won't be compatible with it.. Has anyone tried gaming under Windows 7 BETA? How is it? Which games worked/didn't work? and hows the performance compared to Vista?

PunkBuster craps out, I know that.

TF2 works under 7. Same goes for Trackmania Nations Forever, with one small issue: It triggers a UAC prompt at launch for whatever reason.

same here although I get a different issue because issue with ANY steam game that is not a valve game, it just says "failed to contact key server" but it works fine in vista.

Unreal Tournament 2004 randomly crashes for me and refuses to load up a lot of the time, installing the latest Direct X updated helped but its still very unstable for me.

Not tested anything else on Windows 7.

WoW works fine - even better then in vista i find!

I'm battling with COD: WorldAtWar... game runs superb in Win 7 (So does Win 7 by the way), but the sound will suddenly become quite hollow. Using Creative Audigy 2 and their latest (July 2008 Vista) drivers. Same problem with Win 7's included drivers .....
