vista games that DONT work?

[Kharn]

I tried starting a list of games known not to work with vista but that thread died a long time ago.

the vista sp1 is a let down all it is is a bunch of hotfixes and security updates. nothing special. no stability fixes nothing like that.

I can confirm Oblivion and the Expansions run on Vista Ultimate 32-bit. Halo 2 runs fine as well.

Windows Vista: Upgrade Advisor

if your still looking (since its been like almost a week) use that Upgrade Advisor...

bf2 Works on vista apart form a few bugs,
You need to right-click on ur bf2 logo and click "Run as Admin" even if you are logged in as admin you must do this or you get kicked by punkbuster for inadequate (sp lol) OS Privileges. Also the built in VOIP for bf2 does not work on vista and no solution has been found yet ( well since i last checked a few weeks ago) i find this annoying as noone can hear my random Alien2 (Aliens) Badass quotes ....pfft

Starcraft on expansion isn't fun. VERY buggy for me. but TFT and ROC run fine.

Brood Wars works flawlessly for me.

TBH I haven't ever had a problem with vista and any game.

Halo 2 runs fine as well.

Roflcopter it better!! I find Halo2 works better in XP though.
And heres the deal, why would Oblivion work but not Halo? They both use the My Documents folder for saves.

it doesnt matter where the games saves at all, its the way they are made (programming).

It IS about where the game saves the file.

Both Halo and GTA:SA don't know where to save to, so they hit an "error" and crash. The document folder pertaining to each game doesn't exist. It's like going on a road trip in Europe with a US map.
