Just bought Tiberium Wars seeing I loved tiberium sun but unbelievably the bloody thing wont run on vista 64 :mad: .

I assumed this game would as it was released months after vista was. SC works on my mate’s pc with vista 64 and even some of my games year old run fine, yet TW wont. Someone at EA needs to be sacked for being so off of the ball.

What to do. Does this mean im going to have to go back to xp :confused: .
Just getting fed up with nothing working with vista. **sigh**
 
What I just assumed it was a vista 64 problem as it only say is supports vista 32.

When I try to launch the game I get....

DirectX Error

Please make sure you have DirectX 9.0 or higher installed. Also verify that your video card meets the minimum requirements, and that you do not have hardware acceleration disabled in the display control panel.


I have DirectX installed
I have a 1950 pro
Don’t know how to check hardware acceleration can’t seem to find it in vista but I can’t see why it would be disabled.

Help :p

Did you specifically install the DirectX 9 release or are you using whats built in with Vista? I believe this game needs it to be installed to work properly Click Here for the download.

I've no problems with it here on Vista 64 with an nvidia card except I get an exception error when I quit the game.. anyone else getting this?
 
install the latest dx9 as it has elements missing in vistas "dx10" once installed you still have dx10 + missing elements from dx9 stopping games complaining about dx
 
Install the latest patch for the game and it should be fine.
It did that too for me at first, as soon as I installed the patch it was happy and I can play without any issues at all :)
