Max Payne 2 runs OK via 64-bit ultimate (x86)

 

[Gornot]

Prince of Persia - Sands of Time works on x86
However, you will not be able to see anything unless you turn OFF "Fog" effects. Everything else is a-okay

Prince of Persia - Warrior Within also works, it is also required to turn OFF "fog" effects.

Guild Wars

I saw several posts listing GW as running on 64bit OS but I cant seem to get it to work on mine. Ive reinstalled several times, downloaded latest drivers for my graphics card, and tried running it as an Administrator and in multiple compatibility modes. Any suggestions?

Games that Worked ok for me:

1) NFS MW (1.3)

2) NFS Carbon (1.4)

3) Psi-Ops

4) Mass Effect

5) Sin Episodes Emergence

6) MOH: Airborne
[Had to uninstall PhysX driver beforehand, because it causes conflicts with the older one that the game installs, and you will want to start the Win firewall service if it's not started ]

7) Warfront

8) Arkham Asylum

Will install Saboteur next. Hope it runs ok!

So far I've played the following which have worked as far as I can tell on Win7 x64

1. Star Wars The Force Unleashed - The only issue is that the game does not disable the screen saver if you use an Xbox 360 controller to play it.

2. The Lord of The Rings Online with the latest Siege of Mirkwood Expansion pack

 

[dorian hawkmoon]

"Prey" will not run.

Why not just go to Windows Compatibility Center and see if it works or not there?

MS says that they are working with the game publisher, info is yet to come.

Silent Hill: Homecoming is not running well with Windows 7 x64.
Needed to add d3dx9_38.dll and xinput1_3.dll into /Windows/System/
After that game runs, but a lot of bugs are occured. Physics is not normal, some of actions are stopped like in intro my killer is stunned, instead that he is lying dead on ground. Also when tried to open security door to reach some guy, game stopped responding (crashes), or when tried to search around, guy showed up, but when opened door, my character is stunned, only end task helps.

If anyone knows if this crazy physics in game can be fixed, please tell me.
Thanks in advance,

Prince of Persia (2008) is working fine. The Saboteur is also up and running, but there are innumerable glitches (maybe that is the problem of the game itself).

Yes, unfortunately, the game is quite a bit sluggish due to bad optimization. Last I heard, a patch was supposed to be released, although I'm not sure if it got past the beta stage by now. I already finished the game and uninstalled it, so I don't feel the need to check.

A few more results for Windows 7 Home Premium x64
(AMD Phenom X4 9600 - nVidia 9800 GT - Realtek HD Audio)

Working perfectly (no compatibility modes used):
Driver: Parallel Lines
Age of Empires: Collector's Edition DVD (AoE1,RoR,AoE2,Conq)

Working with issues:
Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance
- Seems to require an Creative EAX/X-fi -compatible soundcard. Hangs on a black screen without one. I got it fooled with a software EAX driver (ALchemy Universal). Volume is VERY low, but game is otherwise playable.


Not Working:
Need for Speed: Road Challenge (EU version of NFS:High Stakes)
- With official patches, it crashes. With unofficial (XP-)fixes it runs, but is painfully slow.

All games installed from Retail DVDs/CDs.

I'm facing numerous trigger event bugs (not to mention sluggishness), i.e. I've got the car and parked it in the garage but the checkpoint is not triggering- this is just one of many really annoying bugs.

CoD 4 single player works in x86. It works fine if all settings are at low. (not sound or anything like that, but things like 'number of corpses' should be tiny or small.

EDIT: I am saying this because it says CoD4 single player works for x64 only.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004, or FS9, for short, runs perfectly under Seven x86 but with hidden menu bar only
