n/m found the post i was looking for, btw vista sucks, i dont recommend it to anyone =(

For those who can't search well, AC/DC is NOT Vista compatible.

Vista is awesome for everything but EAX, and AC Dual Client.

For those who can't search well, AC/DC is NOT Vista compatible.


--------------

I *try* to search.


I opened the search form, selected the AC Utilities board and searched for the word "Vista". I got no results, not even this one.


Obviously, I'm doing something wrong, but I can't figure out what.


Will Dual Client ever be vista compatible? Are there any work arounds to get it installed and working?


(NOTE: I managed to get it installed by hand-installing the .NET 1.1 version {and the service pack}, but I still get messages when I try to run it. I've tried to select various compatibility mode options on the executable such as "Run as Administrator" and "Compatibility with XP Pro SP2", but none of them seem to work.)

yeah search doesn't work for vnboards

Vista IS AC DM compatiable. I have it installed and running on two machines. Decal as well. That said, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone because there are minor issues in setting up and some graphics cards don't do well with DX9 in Vista creating some graphics glitches on some of them. My x1900xt ATI card won't render landscape textures and my 8800gtx has tearing with the sky textures occasionally. However both are very playable under Vista. Actually I have AC/DM installed on my laptop as well. make that three machines) with a 7950 go nivida graphics adapter and I have zero problems on AC with it. The funny thing is the other two machines are Vista 32 bit and my laptop is 64 bit, go figure.

^ This thread is about AC Dual Client, not AC Dark Majesty. We know AC works, but Dual client does not. AC/DC is not the same as AC/DM.


Thanks anyway. Your issues are due to Ati's vista drivers still being a mess, and I believe that 8800 support is not perfect yet either - hence the laptop being fine. I'm sure they'll get around to fixing those.

hmmm...


no one actually answered my question.


Will dualclient ever be Vista compatible or is it now an orphaned and unsupported program as are so many others?

It is not orphaned and unsupported.


I still provide plenty of support for it.


Unfortunately for you all with Vista, I do not have a Vista machine to develop and test on. So for now, Vista is unsupported.

First of all why would you buy vista in the first place. First of all remember microsofts record. How old is Windows XP and they are still fixing bugs in the software come on now. The best time to buy Vista would when the new OS comes outs. Dont be dumb and think of microsoft record. I mean they put out console system that breaks with in a year. They still are make systems that break. I think microsoft sucks but its better then MAC OS. So i'm stuck using it. Sorry i just had to rant on microsoft.
