Windows 7 Game Compatibility List

[Shuko]

Arma 2 works on x64

 

[Satangel]

GTA Vice City works, but you must Disable Visual Themes and Desktop Composition.
Also run it in XP SP3 compat mode and Run as Admin.

Dragon Age: Origins works great!

Which Architecture (x86 or x64??)

BTW Borderlands works fine on x64

Playing Dragon Age: Origins on X64 right now, work flawlessly.

Let me see here.... this is my own personal experience. My copy of Windows 7 Home Premium is 64-bit and was pre-installed on this PC

works fine:

Duke Nukem Manhattan Project
Return To Castle Wolfenstein
Star Trek Elite Force II
Plants Vs Zombies
Half-Life 2
Portal
Garry's Mod 11
Postal 2
Ys The Oath In Felghana
Serious Sam 2
Doom 3
Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth
Halo
Cave Story Deluxe
BSNES- high-requirement SNES emulator


Minor issues. Might be due to Aero incompatibility but shutting it off doesn't seem to help. Could be my monitor or onboard graphics as well. Issues are color depth, text, etc.:

Neighbours From Hell
Neighbours From Hell 2
MapleStory
Plantasia
Westward- unplayable in full screen mode thanks to the text being mangled. Fine in windowed mode


Problem games-

The Simpsons Hit & Run - load times make it unplayable. Literally seems to want to take 10 minutes to load a level. I do not believe this is a problem specific to Windows 7.
Max Payne- will NOT install due to a 16-bit installer
Blood 2- will NOT install due to a 16-bit installer
Ys VI Ark of Napishtim- installs fine. Will NOT load nor will the game patches work, therefore I can't even install the english translation patch. Applocale was needed to run this game in Windows XP, but that doesn't seem to work in Windows 7.


Not fully tested. I have booted the game to the menu and everything seems fine so far, but I have not had time to play them yet:

Serious Sam First Encounter
Serious Sam Second Encounter
Shadow Man
Oni
Kiss Psycho Circus: The Nightmare Child

Yup, x64 is working great for me too. Not sure if x86 works or not...

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 works just fine on Win7 x64.

 

[leetgamer]

Modern Warfare 2 works on my w7x64, however, it freezes at startup and have to wait around 5mins for it to magically unfreeze.

 

[cptsianios]

Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 runs great on Windows 7 x64 without any crashes or problems.

 

[Diosoth]

Blood 2: The Chosen runs fine but you have to manually install it. I've posted a thread detailing how to do so.

 

[smarteyeball]

Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 runs great on Windows 7 x64 without any crashes or problems.

Not quite. There are plenty of people having issues with the game periodically crashing (myself included), however it's not just a Seven issue.

 

[Diosoth]

Sam & Max: Season 1 plays fine

 

[The Apathetic]

GTA IV is working fine on windows 7 x64.
Fifa 2010 is working fine on both windows 7 x32 and x64.
COD: Modern Warfare 2 is working fine on windows 7 x32, haven't tried it on windows 7 x64 yet.
AOE 2 is working fine on both windows 7 x32 and x64.

W7-Ultimate 64

Chronicles of Spellborn: HACKING REQUIRED

When you install, and try to play, it doesn't work. There is some sort of GameGuard error.


For some reason there is an incorrect file that is installed for GameGuard. You have to get a working 'GameGurad.des' file. Then copy/replace it into the following folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\The Chronicles of Spellborn\bin\client

You can find the file if you install the game, "Crossfire".
Or you can download it from here: GameGuard.des

It should work fine. Just be sure to restart the computer because you might not be able to log in.

Windows 7 Professional, x64:

Anno 1404 (EU, in the US it is called Dawn of Discovery): works flawlessly.
Torchlight: works flawlessly.
Nexuiz: works flawlessly. (This one's open-source, but of commercial quality.)

 

[Diosoth]

Area 51 works but must be set to XP SP2 compatibility mode to run. This is the freeware download version released by the US Air Force, not a retail copy.

 

[Diosoth]

Tales of Game's Studios - Welcome to the edutainment vidcon revolution

Barkley Shut Up & Jam GAIDEN works, but you'll need to go into settings and sqitch to full screen mode, otherwise text is jagged.
