wtf... I've never even heard of that before. What other things will this compatibility help with? Like what other programs. Thats amazing.

I mostly use it for older games. I don't even have the setting that Blacklash is talking about (XP SP2 compat.).

it lists all the windows for me except XP

wtf

Xion the grass is down because I was running in balanced mode. I was using that and high peformance to test the game because I didn't want to listen to people say, "Dood you have low FPS because you are in highest quality."

There's what the properties tab looks like under Vista for XP-SP2.

Xion X2 · 02-23-07, 10:40 PM

Dood, why are you running at balanced settings??? You have a GTX!!!!111

I gotcha. I see why you're getting the compatibility setting I'm not.. you're running Vista. Have to remember that. I might install it tonight or tomorrow.. my curiosity's starting to get to me.

Lolz,

Tell me you guys are not trying to set XP-SP2 compatibility while running XP.

yes that could be my problem

Heck, as buggy as Vanguard is I figured it was trying to optimize itself for Linux. Thought I'd check just to make sure.

Blacklash · 02-24-07, 03:49 AM

It is running way better.

I had some real time to play tonight. I saw red FPS once during caching|loading and the rest of the time it was smooth. I had one "fatal error" crash. I noticed players and creatures weren't warping around as much either.

Did you guys get the latest DX? I think there is one for 02|07 up:
