Windows 7 Game Compatibility List

[Darician]

I know that 64bit is listed, but 32bit didn't work for me.

Tried Thief II on Windows 7 32-bit and it worked fine for me. The only thing was that I needed to set it to run on one CPU otherwise, it would crash all the time. This isn't an OS thing though, this is a bug in that game engine.

So I should set it to a single core? I must try to run it again

 

[Darician]

Yep, this applies to both 32 and 64-bit and also the original Thief: The Dark Project and Thief Gold. I can't remember about Deadly Shadows needing that or not. There are scripts to do it though I could never get them to work in 7 or you can start the game, then Alt + Tab out of it, go to task manager and right-click on the "thief.exe" under the Processes Tab. Then just click on "Set Affinity" and ensure only one of the CPUs is checked; it can be any one of them though I usually pick CPU 0.

Yes, I am familiar with how to do it

And also, i would like to add:

Medal of Honor ~Pacific Assault~ Director's Edition

as working on 32bit.

Director's Edition includes "MOHPA Interactive Timeline" and "Music of MOH" along with the game; of course, all of it works well.

Added. Thanks for all the contributions.

I'm not much a War person for video games. Though I loved the Medal Of Honor Public Beta that was recently done.

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a PC game that has a war style to it (such as COD, MOH, etc) that also has a good storyline.

As a note, I'm a Halo player by heart. So bear with me!

 

[Gornot]

Just wanted to add that:

Brothers in Arms ~Earned in Blood~ also works perfectly on 32bit. Figures, since it uses the same engine as it's predecessor

 

[SinRival]

Perfectly for me ON Windows 7 Starter Edition (x32/x86-Bit):

Guild Wars (Already on the list although takes a long time so I had to quit but this isn't fast.. so yeah not a problem os really)

Grand Fantasia (Online Free Game.. it works, I'v been playing it a lot, although it's slow for me because of my netbook but it runs good enough)

 

[Dark Nova Gamer]

Updated first post.

 

[Gornot]

In case nobody posted it earlier, Darksiders works on 32bit, of course...

(IMHO there's no need for posting new games here, lol)

Were you able to get Thief II as well as the original or Gold to work on 32-bit Windows 7?

 

[Zeplash]

Dragon Age: Origins work fine on win7 x86

Great Game on mage>>>>

 

[Gornot]

@ Darician, haven't tried it yet, been playing Darksiders... Gonna test that next time I feel like playing

 

[proview619]

what the hell?
halo: combat evolved is not very compatable with windows 7 for all i know.

My specs are more than enough to run this game ( will show later) but the game runs incredibly slow on some levels!
(halo and assault on the control room)

And i already updated the game, the drivers, put in compatability mode but it still runs slow!
the game runned perfectly when i had xp but since i installed windows 7 halo has been pretty bad.

my specs:
CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU E2200 @ 2.20GHz
ram: 3 gb
OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate Edition (build 7600), 32-bit
graphic card: GeForce 8800 GS

Can someone see if there is some way around this?

 

[Gornot]

proview, this is not the place to discuss game issues.

By the way, to those who play Darksiders on the PC, I do not recommend using ALT+TAB after the initial startup screen, it takes a while but the game will randomly crash to the desktop in the end.

The OP says that Deus Ex is working for 32-bit only, but I've got it working just fine in x64 Ultimate.

If I remember correctly, the installer is a little fidgety (you just have to tweak with compatibility settings until it works) but the game itself runs fine with no tweaks on my system.

Actually, when I installed Deus Ex (non GOTY edition) on Windows 7 64-bit, it installed without any modifications.

 

[Dark Nova Gamer]

Moved Deus Ex to 32-bit AND 64-bit section.

I'm having problems with Tremulous game. In tremulous 1.1 i have to mark compatibility to windows XP if i don't do that i cant change "r_gamma 2" its the brightness. In tremulous 1.2 GPP my some keyboard keys doesn't work.

 

[Gornot]

punjabi, this is not the place to troubleshoot game problems, please open a new thread and describe your problem in detail, also filling your system specs in your profilr (through userCP)


Back on topic, unfortunately, "The Bard's Tale" (2005) does NOT work on Windows 7 32bit. The game can be installed by running setup as admin+compatibility with XP SP3, but the game will not start no matter which settings are applied

EDIT- I stand corrected, the game DOES work, but it requires an unusual approach.
Out of desperation I downloaded a no-CD crack, set the compatibility mode to XP SP3, disabled desktop composition and scaling on high DPI settings, as well as allowed admin privilege level on the compatibility tab, and the game works fine lol.
