Edited by: YodaMasterJedi on 13/09/2005 15:13:09 Edited by: YodaMasterJedi on 13/09/2005 15:12:43 Has anyone done any testing on Windows Vista with Eve? Didn't see another thread on the subject so if there is I apologize. If there is another thread on this already could someone be kind enough to point me to it?
I am going to try this later today and just want to collaborate with anyone trying the same thing.
Or if this is the wrong area to post this, would a mod kindly point me to the proper board? Don't really know of a better place than here.

installed and running....so far. Seems a bit laggy, but at least it works.

mine is not running that bad, but i don't know what kind of video card/system you have. i have a radeon 9600 128MB pro turbo running on my laptop. I have 2GB 400Mhz DDR and a PentiumM 2.0
getting the drivers to even recognize took 2 formats and a non-app install. i had to browse to the damn .inf in order for the video care drivers to load. considering the drivers were designed for XP, and DX10 not being available to push this behemouth of an OS, id say this wasnt too bad for a Beta 1 release that has ZERO drivers written for it.
needless to say it is laggy due to Microsoft issue and not because of CCP.

Originally by: kieron CCP is already working out a testing agreement with Microsoft to ensure that EVE will run on Vista properly. It is our hope that players migrating to Vista will have no problems with EVE on Vista right out of the gate.
Is that why I saw an Eve Advertisement on the DirectX page of Microsoft?? just a wise***** with no insult intended. I'm glad CCP is working with MS on this!
I started this thread because of my background and specialization of Microsoft products hoping others out there like me would post their findings, thoughts, etc on running Eve on Windows Vista.
So far I have had ZERO issues other than the fact that the lag is due to the lack of properly written video drivers. I hope to get a video driver written with the help of ATI soon. My coding abilities are not "great" so a little help/advise can go a long way.
In closing could the people who have nothing better to do than bash Microsoft, promote Linux, etc. kindly find another thread to hound. This thread was started with the purpose of it's title. Thanks a bunch!!

found the first issue today. logging into eve this morning i had 3 (1-inch wide) vertical bars a light green or brown in color. they were transparent to the background which did show through but they were easily seen. after i got to the charactor screen they went away.
still awaiting video drivers from ATI
anyone else have any success or failure with Vista yet??

it is running fine (bit laggy) for me, but I don't have the updated drivers for my ATI card. Do you mind if I ask what model nvidia card you have?
only thing that has gone wrong for me so far was the vertical lines that disappeared at charactor login page.
