winSPMBT and WinSPWW2 and VISTA

[Mobhack]

1) Windows Vista is not one of the supported operating systems for the game, so basically you are on your own if you try to run under an unsupported O/S. All other flavours of Windows after 98 work fine, and also Linux/Wine seems to work too.

Several of our playtesters and end users do have it running on Vista. Try searching this forum and the (WW2 one) for "Vista" and read the posts from those who have got the game to run under the new Microsoft operating system.

2) Ensure you have patched to the latest release level - apply each and every patch in the correct order. (Try turning all sound OFF in the preferences screen and also the mouse click off in the game options "misc" tab. If the game then runs fine you either have a sound card/Codec problem, and/or you did not patch the game fully since one of these patches replaced the MP3 sound with WAV format.)

3) Ensure you have all the latest vista patches applied for your video card and sound card drivers.

Cheers

If it's running fine on launch but crashing later you may have other programs running that conflict. There are a number of "VISTA" threads on this and the WW2 forum that have helped most people using Vista
