Default What games *don't* work right?



Hey guys, I think it's a good idea to try and compile a list of games that
aren't working properly on Windows Vista at this stage. So if we keep it
clean and organised like so:

Name of game:
Vista build#:
UAC on/off:
CPU:
Video:
Audio:
Chipset:
Problem and error messages:

I'll try and verify with the selection I have here on 5728 and point this
thread out in the private groups so some of the developers can have a look.

Fire away. 8-)

I have tried some steam games, I played HalfLife2 and stopped because it was
sooooo slow and it was "stuttering.
RTCW plays perfect, no problems at all!

World of Warcraft

5600

UAC on and I am not sure if this is what is causing the problem (honestly it
is also a little annoying, butI am chalking that up to its new and Ineed to
et used to it)

Athlon xp3000
2GB RAM
Nvidia GeForce 6600 (PNY)
SoundBlaster Audigy 2ZS
ASUS A7n8x - Nvidia nForce2

Game launches and runs fine (music on launch screen is not there ay more).
Once in the game it is almost unbearable. The lag (or chugging along) makes
the game almost unplayable for anything other then just waling around a town.
I have tried to mess with the sounds and the video settings to see what
happens. I also just took a moment and closed the Sidebar which I had a
bunch of stuff on as I noticed in taskman the cou wa running around 50 on
that process.

My game is:

Sacred (by Ascaron)
Vista build: RC1 5600 32bit
UAC: Off

Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 (1.86ghz)
2gb DDR2 SDRam
256mb Ati Radeon X1300 Pro (PCI)
Integrated 7.1 HD Audio

Problem: When I load the gme up, the graphic does not work as well. I get
the images of the screen beginning to flicker and such. Cannot turn the
game into windowed mode, only full screen mode.

Ravynne.

Prince of Persia - The Sands of Time & Prey
RC1 5600
off
Intel 3.2
MSI Geforce 6600LE 256MB PCI-Express
"Built-In" RealTek AC'97
MSI 915GM2
The game didn't work before, on xp too, but after installing the latest
nVidia driver the game worked, but the problem now is that in the middle of
the game the screen freezes even though I can hear it playing..
