Hey my names donian... I'm wondering if GW will work on windows vista. Please let me know. I am very interested in this game!! Thanks

I run GW just fine on my laptop wich uses the vista operating system. So as far as your os is concerned no worries my friend.

Tatile · Sep 04, 2008, 08:06 PM // 20:06

Yes it does.

Edit: To clarify, just be sure your computer can handle running Vista easily, otherwise it may stuggle when you run Guild Wars as well. Slaanesh knows you'll be running other programmes at the same time as well.

yes it will work on vista

beregond · Sep 04, 2008, 08:14 PM // 20:14

Works just fine on Vista. Mines Home Premium.

Apollo Smile · Sep 04, 2008, 08:16 PM // 20:16

Yup, my Vista PC runs Guild Wars just fine. I'd like to note DirectSong works properly on Vista as well.

I'm running Vista Ultimate x64 and other than a random crash every once in a while it runes fine.

Ah yes well, random crashing is a Windows feature and just lets you know that everything is running a-okay.

Thanks everyone! I will be sure to buy GW asap! thanks again!

Also, for clarification, the GW box doesn't expictly say that it works with Vista, because Vista didn't EXIST when GW first came out. It does work with Vista though.

Tharg · Sep 04, 2008, 09:02 PM // 21:02

For good order's sake, I would like to add that it DOES run on Vista...

I've never played GW on anything but Vista, and it's perfectly fine.

Jae Onasi · Sep 04, 2008, 09:42 PM // 21:42

I can run my game on Vista just fine. I turn off any unnecessary background programs (such as the windows sidebar) to improve performance and reduce risk of crashing.

i would also like to add that vista works, but either make sure that vista came with your computer or that you have enough memory to handle vista as well as GW

therangereminem · Sep 04, 2008, 10:41 PM // 22:41

it does work with vista, the issue it has is that vista takes a more then average conmputer to run it well

makes usr eyou have more the 2 gigs of ddr2, duo core.

i run at about 130fps i have 4 gigs of ddr a duo core and the hd radion 4870 with 1 gig of ddr4
