Vist should I evene try?

Does BF offer a vista version or patch that works?

Well there are several opinions on that and the results concerning Vista+Cm1 titles differ greatly.

There is a Vista patch for CMBB and CMAC, but it's not free and costs 5 bucks I think. If you want to know if the game runs on your machine, try out the Vista patch demo. Don't have the link for it, but it shoudln't be hard to find.

But except that, nobody can really say. Until now it seems that to play CM1 titles you either need XP or Vista with special components. Some people playing on Vista can't even install the game, some have graphic bug or lag that make the game unplayable and some others, like me, only have few minor problems.

What you should do is first check out the vista demo version. If that works, the game should be running good, too.

Few tips if you try to install the game. Depending on your components it may take quite a while until the game even installs. Took me like 5 minutes until the setup even started. You should also try to avoid DX10 cards, as they seems to cause a lot of trouble.

For more help you could go ahead and search in the forums or just google it up.

The Vista upgrade (not a patch) for $5 makes CMAK fully compatible with Vista. What may remain are problems with drivers or hardware not related to the OS. Trying out the demo is definitely the best idea.
