Windows 7 Game Compatibility List

Manhunt requires a patch to properly run in Vista or 7, otherwise it just crashes

BF2 W7 32bit dont work ?

 

[pawz7]

Pathologic installs and runs on x64 without any problems or tweaking

 

[merka]

looks like im going to have to upgrade to 64x bit

 

[pawz7]

SimCity Societies runs without tweaks on x64 - but I did have to access the disk and click on EA Setup to get it to install, and I also upgraded it before running.

 

[pawz7]

Gothic3 runs on x64 no tweaks patched to latest. However, I had to reinstall the tages driver before it would play the game.

2.Vampire the Masquerade : Bloodlines

Did you use one of the 'community patches'?

Have to ask, I just got an Alienware m11x and installed this from Direct2Drive (retail patched), and it gives an error about available memory. Quick search shows that applying the WESP patch solves the error ... but I prefer 'vanilla' Bloodlines.

Thanks!

Working:
Dark Forces (from Steam via built-in DOSBox)

BF2 W7 32bit dont work ?

BF2 works on 64bit so I dont see why it wont work on 32bit.

Win7 32bit Pro bfbc2. Works flawlessly for me. Maybe try running as admin? I am even admining a server with command center while in game.

Try disabling forced vertical shading in your video options. I had to do this globally with my 9800 card. Now all the games run fine.

The game left 4 dead is mentioned twice under two categories. It works fine under Linux with Wine. Wubi - Ubuntu Installer for Windows

WineHQ - Left 4 Dead

WineHQ - Left 4 Dead 2

 

[pawz7]

Sims 3 - works fine on W7 x64

Working after quite a bit a bit of tweaking:

Carmageddon 2 - Carpocalypse Now

The detailed guide on how to make it work can be found here: VOGONS :: View topic - How to run Carmageddon 2 on Windows Vista and Windows 7

Well ... sadly I picked up XIII (cel shaded FPS from 2003) this weekend on Gamersgate without reading the 'No Win7 Compatibility' line in the system req's ... and it was true - wouldn't even get halfway through the install.

I apologize for not being about to do squat with the list for 4 months - lots of things going on.

Someone had once mentioned the idea of making the list hosted off-site, such as in a Google Doc - if that were the case then I could quite easily have 4 or 5 other people helping to keep it clean and updated.

If you're still reading this thread, PM me with your idea to make this a community driven list without relying on a single person to edit it.

Works Perfectly:
Defence Grid - The Awakening

Semi-Working:
Fallout 3: you'll need to edit a lot of things to fix it from crashing every ½ minute.

 

[Von do]

Counter-Strike Source
Half-life 2
They both say hl2 has stopped working when i play for about 10 mins

Semi-Working:
Fallout 3: you'll need to edit a lot of things to fix it from crashing every ½ minute.

Not tested with Seven, but I had the same problem with XP: solved it by applying the latest patch and accepting the default video parameters. Fallout3 became reasonably stable then. (The cause of the problems is the game itself...)

Avoided ALT-Tabbing too: it ALWAYS ended in a CTD for me.

Bioshock 2 works fine on win 7 32 Bit Professional

 

[Seven Eleven]

these work perfectly:

Saints Row 2
Killing Floor
Defence Alliance II
NEOTOKYO
