Skeeter · 17 Jan 2009 at 12:41

COD works, Punkbuster doesnt, so technically only SP COD works.

Battlefield 2 doesnt work - punkbuster problems.
I wouldnt count Battlefield 1942 and 2142 to work for same reasons, but dont take my word for it.

Trackmania Nations Forever works but only if you run the exe from the folder. A shortcut off the taskbar opens a blank screen and closes again right away, which is odd. Desktop link works ok!

Deus Ex, Tomb Raider Legend both work.

Steam games work fine, but steam stopped my windows 7 from booting so it had to recover (by uninstalling steam).

it's COD WaW and you know this, don't be pedantic

Do you shoot first and ask questions later?

ANyone with Fallout3 installed, how'd you get it working, for me the games live crap fails to install and you can't run the game without the xlive.dll found on the computer/folder. tried the games for window crap from the cd, and downloaded from their website.

ANy ideas?

No problem here, and I've played a ton o' Steam games on win7.

Add DotA to the working list

ANyone playing the witcher on windows 7, just started, its maybe one in 10 tries to get it to work and even then if i get more than a couple hours I'm lucky. It flat out wouldn't work full screen and in normal res(1920x1200), 1600x1200 windowed it "just" about works but when it doesn't its hard locking my computer needing a reset to do anything.

Its better than I thought from the demo though I'm not going to try much longer as the crashing is beyond a joke. Its apparently still very unstable for loads of people on vista, which is a bit ridiculous this long after launch and some massive patches later.

Fear 2 works fine in it.

drunkenmaster · 16 Feb 2009 at 00:48

gah, its just crashed for the umpteenth time, i saved after I faught some bandits right before the first cave you see in the bandits house. That save failed to load but thankfully a crash to desktop, had to fight the bandits again which is a semi tough fight. Twice i've loaded the cave and twice its crashed right as i appear there. SEriously doing my head in now. Its possible its a specific crash to that exact moment but seems unlikely.

Gt legends doesn't work, but I don't think it worked in vista either

Rambo89 · 16 Feb 2009 at 03:32

Cant install XIII Half way through install it decides to delete the folder regardless if you say no.

uv · 25 Feb 2009 at 20:44

I've found a game (well, two) that won't run under win7 :'(

The Penny Arcade Adventures episodes won't load past the intro FMV..

darn it

eddiemcgarrigle · 25 Feb 2009 at 20:55

Company Of Heroes works fine.

Totality · 26 Feb 2009 at 08:39

Whats wrong with COD5 on Win7? My mates and I have the DVD version under Windows 7 and it works fine? :confused:

Neil79 · 26 Feb 2009 at 08:43

For me atleast Empires at war didn't work right , the intro flickered and the game would stall and corruption near end of loading bar. With the Windows 7 update drivers it works fine

NVIDIA_x64 · 26 Feb 2009 at 09:52

Gears of War does not work.
