| Guest | Re: Games under 64-bot >> Do standard games work under Vist 64-bit?
run most things as admin. Some games require it, usually due to copy-protection or anti-cheat schemes, but most do not. And neither of these has anything to do with using x86 vs x64, but Windows Vista UAC vs. Windows XP 'always runing as an admin'. Most games do work under Windows Vista x64. The problem games are usally caused by one of three things: (1) Ancient Windows 3.1 era code in their installer (which stuck around for much longer than it should have) (2) Copy-protection schemes that do not support 64-bit versions of the OS. Most newer games have fixed this already, and you can sometimes find patches to upgrade older games. (3) Buggy installers that have problems with "C:\Program Files (x86)" as an installer path or do hacky things to your registry settings. Most any other problem can usually be resolved by turning on one of the Compatibility modes to run the installer and/or the game. -- -Chuck Walbourn SDE, XNA Developer Connection This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warrenties, and confers no rights. | ||||||||||||
