GoA and Windows Vista

[Bossy573]

FYI, I'm running this on Vista Home Premium, not in compatibility mode and it is smooth as silk. No problems at all.

The biggest problem I noticed, other than the error, was with UAC.

I've LONG since turned that nonsense off. Microsoft should be ashamed of themselves making security boasts based on a continual harassment of the customer.

Let me say Vista without UAC on is working fine. Have a good firewall, anti-virus and password protect yourself and ditch UAC. It is garbage.

I believe you'll have to set it to Compatibility Mode for XPSP2 and also may need to Run As Administrator.

Please note that Vista is not on the supported OS list for Guns of August.

while looking through the pdf manual, i noticed that Vista is listed as a supported OS, along with XP, but no Windows 2000

look at page number 7

Yes, that was a typo in the manual. Note that the store and game website do not list Vista though.

Hi all,

following the thread, I would like to mention that I do not have any problem whatsoever running the game on Vista Home Premium, and never had to switch over to admin mode or change settings. Actually, I do not even get the game freeze at the year-end turn (sound on / sound off).

I do not have any other applications open while running the game, although Internet Security is up. No installation of any additional gaming tools etc. So I wonder if we are really talking about a Vista problem???

Besides, congratulatons on a superb game. Took a day to get used to the different mechanics in game-play, but after digging it I found out that exactly these differences give me the extra kick. WWI is a different conflict to portray due the static warfare, but this one finely and nicely covers all aspects on operational level.

I've been wondering the same thing.

I see some problems with the game, but I can't tear myself away from it.

I wonder why nobody wanted to answer my "gtrench.exe" question. Is it a secret?

I suspect those are extraneous files from when they cut the CD.
