Windows Vista...

A quick question
My new computer will have vista installed and I wonder if this game will work with Vista.

It should, we have very few issues with Vista. Most was because the drivers was not up to date what's more.

Besides, if there was a problem w/Vista, you can go retro w/BoA; start, all programs, BoA, then R click "Config utility" and select properties: choose the compatability tab and set for Win 2000, hit apply, OK, and that should do it.

Gylve, I just got my new Vista Ultimate machine two days ago and just loaded up the AGEOD games. Both Birth of America and American Civil War run like butter - in fact Vista is loving everything I'm doing right now - my AV, peripherals, PDA, Nero 8... it is just such a smooth OS right now with all the current Updates, I really am peeved I nearly listened to all the negative hype! Good hardware counts for everything. Updated we basically have SP1 right now.

As for BoA - no prob whatsoever. More RAM and a good video card definitely helps these games and I have 4GB and a 768MB GeForce 8800 GTX.

As for ACW - ditto and it actually scrolls faster - like lightning! On exiting the game I did get a Vista friendly dialog to say that the game was "missing a component". Just go to AGEOD's ACW forum and look in the Technical threads. There's a download link to a DLL Vista needs, you drop in your ACW folder and no issue thereafter.

I am so impressed with this performance. Happy gaming!

Adam.

Sounds really Good! But I actually got two Ctd in my last game... But no harms done because the game autosaves every month [:)] Its happend when I was moving regiments/corps between armies. If it happens again I can send you my save if you want to look at it but it may take I while because of my lack of internet at home... (I`m a poor student)

I really love BOA! I have to try Pbem as soon as I get Internet...(Summer 2008)
Soon to buy ACW or NC but probably both as a christmas present to myself [;)]
