winSPMBT and WinSPWW2 and VISTA

DRG · #1 September 8th, 2007, 10:15 AM

FYI

To date we have not had a single report I am aware of that either game will
NOT run under Vista in Windowed mode. We have had some reports of "sluggish"
response in full screen mode in Vista and also reports that the problem had
been corrected with driver upgrades or procedural changes.

We supply both games in both Windowed and full screen mode to ensure that
one OR the other ( or if we're lucky....both ) modes will run the game in
all the various Windows operating systems. But we do not guarantee the game will
work in both modes under all the various different Windows operating systems and
hardware combinations. In most cases the game will but both modes are provided
to ensure one or the other WILL run the game

If anyone has tried to run the game under Vista in Windowed mode without success
I would like to hear about it please and I would also like to hear from people
sucessfully running the games in full screen mode and Windowed mode in Vista

Thanks

*raises hand*

Originally, fullscreen wouldn't work at all, windowed was okay.

After a driver update to the latest Catalyst (7.8), both fullscreen and windowed mode run fine, I didn't notice any slowdowns.

I haven't tried recently, with new drivers, but I was getting very sluggish performance in full screen mode.

It's not very important to me since I play the game windowed.

I have some problems with sluggish play with firing in both windowed or full screen mode. I just live with it as its not so bad to be unplayable.

Have you upgraded your drivers?

There are also several tweaks and perference changes you can make to have firing faster. What are your preference settings?

Hi

Just wondering if any progress has been made with the sluggish problem when running Winspmbt or Winspww2 in Vista. I have tried everything from drivers to running in different resolutions in both windowed and full screen modes, but the games are unplayable for me. There is a 25second delay between the mouse click and the command being activated. I dont have any graphics problems though. It has got to the stage were I have gone back to playing SPWAW to get my wargaming fix, this seems to run fine in Vista.

I am running Vista home premium (64bit) with a Geforce 8800 GTX

Both WinSPWW2 and WinSPMBT are running fine for me in Windowed Mode running Vista Home Premium well but with a Geforce 7600 card.

Well what do you know... a cure to my woes... I normally dont mess with in-game preferences but just on the the off-chance I turned of the sound, and to my suprise the game runs smoothly, quietly but smoothly. I can put up with the quiet :-)

There are a couple of threads on both the ww2 and mbt forum where Vista is discussed and you may find a solution there. It's interesting though that turning the sound off solved your "slugishness" problem . I do not recal anyone having a problem with any kind of "slugishness" in Windowed mode, only full screen
