Windows 7
Windows 7
So I tried running the latest stable build of WZ on Windows 7 RC1 (7100). Let's just say that it was a less-than-satisfactory experience. Actually, it barely works at all. Very slow to get to the main menu, with no indication that something's happning in the mean time. I tried switching to XP compatibility mode, which helped a little, but there were no ground textures to speak of (it all just looked like shadows). Not sure if this is OpenAL that's the problem or what. Anyone have any ideas? [skill level = can build from source and make small mods]

Sounds like it felt back to software OpenGL.

Install drivers. It works fine for me in Windows 7, with Nvidia's Windows 7 drivers.

Re: Windows 7
Seems fine here on RC1. No compatibility mode needed. Took ~10 - 15 secs the first time to start, but after that it loaded my current savegame and continued without issue from the quick test I did.
Make sure you update your drivers as already mentioned.

I believe the "takes a long time to start the first time" bug was fixed in 2.2 beta 2. If it wasn't, please tell us.

You have a bad [corrupt] download. Redownload it - that should fix it.peppolo wrote:i have windows 7 too and i have another problem. Before launching setup (after double-klick), it gives me NSIS error. I tried compatibility mode XP SP2/3, but still don't work.
