Default Re: Compatibility with Windows 7

its not actually a problem with w7 its a design philosophy really. the theory is that all user data should be in user folders rather than the program folders. the biggest advantage of this is easy of backup and compartmentalization. there are also some security advantages. but of course any program designed or written that modifies the program folder instead just doesnt work with this.

Default Re: Compatibility with Windows 7

I recently installed windows 7 ultimate in my desktop and i´m having problesm with dom3.... i use dom3 in a flashdrive and it works normally in my winXP netbook, but when i try to play it on the recently installed win7 of my desktop all places where you have letters (menus, etc.) appear garbled with random letters.... any idea in how to solve it? i imagine it is something to do with compability with win7 as it works normally in my winxp netbook....

I run Windows 7 on both of my computers and I play dom3 on both of them. On my laptop, though, it's really weird: Everything except multiplayer games and mods is in program files, while those two things are under User/AppFiles/VirtualStore...It gets annoying having to navigate there each time I want to upload or save a multiplayer file or put in a mod, but other than that everything works fine.
