Win7 64bit and editors

[Erik Rutins]

Hi Keystone,

The system specs generally apply to the game, not to additional tools. I agree though that we should have made this more clear. If you really find that having to do some special setup to get the Commander's Edition Editor working in Windows 7 is a show stopper for you, send me an e-mail at erikr@matrixgames.com.

Regards,

- Erik

Do the editors run? The editors are allegedly only running on 32 bit. keystone is specifically complaining about the editors not working on win 7 64 bit...not the game in general

Yes....it all works. I have a Toshiba L550D Laptop running 64-bit Vista. AMD Turion X2 Dual Core 2.2GHz system with 3 Gig's of RAM. I regularly play at the higher resolutions. It could be a video card issue although I can't speak for Keystone's problems since I've never had them. I will OCCASIONALLY get some color trouble on the scenario resolution screen but it's random and rare enough that I'm not reporting it.

The Ultimate Commander Edition scenario editor does not run on windows 7 64 bit.

The editor vs the scenario editor could be the problem? Have to use full screen at 1024 by 768 for editor, but can use window and very high resolutions for scenario editor. My colors are strange for the editor, but not the scenario editor. All working well on win 7 pro 64. Had the color problem with Vista 32 and a laptop off and on, used a custon color setup and saved as default to fix. Time consuming to setup, but worked fine once done. Have not tried to set a custom color setup with the editor and win 7 pro 64, not really a problem for me.

Seems I read the manual and should not have! The color problem is not present if set for window at max settings allowed (1908 10xx)! Runs fine. If I try to edit the country list, the country.dat file is trashed! This problem has been there for some time. Need to find a access 2003 runtime to use the other editor. Wont work with my access 97 anymore.
