manito9 Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Ok well the mood here is one of patience, but I've lost it. This game will not run on Vista. I have ran TOW Config and nada. I have tried all resolution settings, I have downloaded a "fix" suggested by madmatt. I have all recent drivers for my vid card, I've been on these forums troubleshooting for two days. Demo/Full version does not work. I've purchased many games and I've had to tweak configurations, but this is too much. I understand the obstacles and pitfalls of programming a game for a myriad of system settings/hardware; but why charge a price of $45 for a pain in the ass game that seems to be very much a headache for many people. $45, well actually I was charged $53, is what top of the line gaming companies charge for games that work. They took a little tweaking, or patching, but nothing on this scale that I can remember. Madmatt; can you help a brutha out here? When do you anticipate a fix for some of us Vista users out here? I'll give you specs if you need it. I'll be waiting here, playing Combat Mission. [ April 19, 2007, 09:56 PM: Message edited by: manito9 ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UTexGrad Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Looks like Vista might be hit or miss. I have Vista on an HP machine with an Intel proc, ATI vid card and on-board sound and was able to install and run TOW(after setting up the config correctly. Thanks to all of you that helped with that!). I hope you can get it to run soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothin' personal against Madmatt....just frustrated : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hpt. Lisse Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Okay, now that you've blown off some steam... what is your configuration? Don't post the entire DXdiag file, but we do wanna know your vid card, driver, version of Vista, proc, memory, anti-virus software... give it up, and we'll help you.

ChrisND Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Vista is a POS... I returned my new computer after two days because I coudln't stand it, even simple programs wouldnt work on it. Not to mention Microsoft's "security" programs destroyed performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just downloaded/installed ATI drivers that were released yesterday. Game fires up. The game is a bit sluggish right now, but I can deal with that. I have a Radeon ATI x1300 and just downloaded Catalyst® 7.4 Display Driver for Windows Vista (32 bit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
