In defense of GG and their engine, it looks like this (Vista and games) is not a localized problem:Vista Playing Havoc with Gamers

But even then: The performance is sub par. Since alpha where NVidia sent out the first vista drivers, they were just trash. The only API that benefits is DX7 because DX7 drivers on XP are broken or completely removed while they work great on Vista.
DX9/OpenGL XP drivers are that far optimized, that it will take 6 months to a year until they will be en par with XP performance.

Dev for Vista is no problem. But don't dev ON vista until SP1 is out and they fixed that damned broken UAC stuff, because until then you can drop Vistas Security if you want to dev because you must use an admin account (this should fix the problem above normally as well)But even then: The performance is sub par.

For a product that hasn't even really been out yet (1.0), theres no reason to not have it running decently, which it seems to be, in most cases. As I expect majority of the problems are video driver related and probably will benefit from a DX 9.0Ex renderer pipeline versus a DX9.0c pipeline
Sporadic issues are acceptable though

Its logical for there to be issues with any older products with a new OS.For a product that hasn't even really been out yet (1.0), theres no reason to not have it running decently, which it seems to be, in most cases.

can download to 99% on the online FPS game, then it occures a error or a down.
I guess that a firewall of ie7 block it.
Has anyone tried to work on ie7?
