Games on Windows 7

[shortcake23]

Have any of the people that have tried Windows 7 experienced any compatibility issues with games (like Team Fortress 2, Call of Duty 4, etc.).. and how about older games like Diablo II?

I'm having video issues with left 4 dead and fallout 3. I'm not sure yet if its win7 causing it or not. I'll be able to tell ya more soon. I'm getting what looks to be driver failures while playing. Grant you I'm using 2 GT 8600's in SLi mode. Not sure what the problem is atm though. stay tuned ;P

Windows 7 is much better than vista. It uses less physical memory and it takes all Vista drivers without any problems. So any games which is not work in vista will certainly won't be compatible with windows 7.

I guess Windows 7 have a problem like in the vista when it comes to game compatibility.Windows 7 may working it out at this time.

for one, GTA 4 won't install on win 7, you have to tweak compatibilites. usually dmc4 or lost planet needs to be run first in safe mode or it will freak out like the one i experienced.

All games can run on win 7, you only need to use the compatibility mode to get it started. So far i haven't seen any previous game not starting on mine.

Moving from Vista to 7, I see some performance improvement, 3DMark Vantage Performance is about 150 pts higher, SuperPI 8M is nearly a second faster, Crysis Warhead and Far Cry 2 register 3 FPS higher under 1280x1024 esolution. Performance wise Windows 7 seems better than Vista.

Those were sweet improvements to your rig lanny. I have seen better performance too even with the new RTM, its just like xp literally IMHO.
