sorry nevermind i found problem, i guess with these games running in vista you have to right click on the game shortcut go to properties/compalibity/ and run in xp sp2 mode. games works perfect now. Vista is streamlined and beautiful!!

Strange, I've never had any bluescreens with BF2 (without XP compatibility mode). Make sure you run it with admin privileges though since punkbuster will kick you from servers if you don't.
I'm curious how performance goes for you. Notice any drops in framerate from XP? It's hard to tell for me since I have Vista RC2 on older hardware. The new nvidia drivers continue to work on it though. I notice OpenGL support getting better but hard to pinpoint directx games. |

Its very simple why the Framerate in Vista is much lower. This is because of the new programmed DirectX 10, so DirectX 9 doesn't fully work anymore. I tested it with Battlefield 2142 and when I first started the game, I got an error that said something about a DirectX 9 DLL file. This is because the DirectX 9 Api's (DLL's) are not included with DirectX 10. So If you want to play DirectX 9 games, you must install the latest DirectX 9 version.
Only the problem is that there is no real support for DirectX 9 anymore, so the DirectX 9 files are being Emulated by DirectX 10 which causes a much lower Framerate then in Windows XP with the REAL DirectX 9. So If you want to play DirectX 9 games at full speed under Vista, you'll need a fast graphics card (like an DirectX 10 GeForce 8800 card) If you don't have enough money to buy one (like me), there's only 1 option -> Stick with Windows XP and there will be no problems! |
