Not sure on GTA 4 but i had the odd stutter in lord of the rings conquest this is a clean install but with windows 7 its smooth as anything

Found that TDU is much smoother under Windows 7. No micro-stutter.

wtf is this windows 7 business? I haven't even moved on to vista

I think thats the point... Most people have avoided the terrible Vista and jumped onto windows 7 beta as the platform of choice.. i myself havnt braved it yet.

Win 7 is basically what Vista should have been. More trim and efficient.

I'm wondering if the latest updates from Microsoft have broken Steam. I noticed Windows 7 was reconfiguring itself on launch today and now Steam won't run...

Solitaire and minesweeper both work.

On Win7 Beta 32bit - X3 Terran Conflict (Steam Version)

Edit, see folowing post of mine.

Civilization 4 works fine here

sastusbulbas · 28 Feb 2009 at 05:20

Dawn Of War.

Command & Conquer Decade. All titles.

Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium War.

Command & Conquer Red Alert 3.

All the above are so far playing fine with Windows 7 (32bit) on my system.

I had some initial problems with C&C 3 and a DX 9 dll error within the Windows System 32 folder, but I deleted the corrupt dll, and extracted a new dll directly from a new DX9 download, now its all working well so far.

I got the tages drivers being installed again once, and then when i went to play it, it kept saying id used up all my install limits, but it started working fine again a few days later, and has worked fine ever since.

Empire:Total War is working perfectly for me on x64 Ultimate build 7000. Will be installing build 7048 sometime in the next couple of days so we'll see how it fairs then, can't imagine it would stop working though.
