I honetly thought there would be more people trying Windows 7. I've counted 17 people so far yet at TPU's home page's voting there are over 1,490 votes saying that people will get Win7 and have already tried it.

Well, you didn't count me and I posted in this thread, so thats 18 at least! I have it on pre-order and am running the RC as secondary ATM.

add me to the club please

using 64 bit version on my new system

FreedomEclipse · Jul 31, 2009

well I dunno. but PB doesnt work with Win7 7600 which im assuming that most gamers might have upgraded to.

theres no other explination, unless 60-70% of the CoD players just suddenly got bored of the game at the same time quit & never picked the game up again all at the same time?? but its strange cuz i use to wait upto 10mins just for a spare slot lol.

its a full size server btw so around 40 somthing players i believe? & now theres only ever less then 30 players on the server at times when it use to be completely packed out.

EastCoasthandle · Jul 31, 2009

Already guys I've added you to the list.

FreedomEclipse, I really can't explain why the servers aren't full any more. I do know that the total server count dropped since the update and servers haven't been consistently full since the recent 1.5 patch. I read one chat were someone just upgraded (IE: just found out about the new patch). That maybe the problem here as there is no in game announcement to let people know that the servers have updated to a new version.

FreedomEclipse · Jul 31, 2009

Its win7 '7600' im tellin you lol its cursed!!! its like fucking jack sparrow & the black pearl!!

EastCoasthandle · Aug 1, 2009

RE5 using XP SP3 = 74.4 FPS

RE5 using Win7 = 83.9 FPS

Both have the CPU/GPU clocked at the same speed. All in game settings are the same at 1680x1050 using 4xAA. All other settings enabled/set to High. Vsync disabled.

FreedomEclipse · Aug 1, 2009

Only 4xAA?

luls, I'l post my scores up

FreedomEclipse · Aug 1, 2009

FreedomEclipse · Aug 1, 2009

8xAA, Win7

.:EDIT:.

Ive 'forced' a lot of settings in ATi CCC so my scores might not be entirely accurate.

Can add me to the list too, using it as primary OS, I still have Vista on another raid setup, but since 7 is runnign games better and I did like the new aero and the aero peek, I'm not using aero on Vista.

No problems so far with games, only Crysis 64bits get appcrach.

Didn't istall chipset drivers only Intel drivers for ICH and Soundmax Beta for 7.

EastCoasthandle · Aug 1, 2009

OK guys, you've been added to the list. If you have any tips about Win7 feel free to let us know.

Anyone using Win7 as their only OS now?

Yup, W7 RTM as only OS... I was prepared for any amount of pain as long as I could get the hell off Vista. Guess I lucked out, because I've had zero issues. (even with the RC)

Isn't it refreshing? I've not had any major issues so far. However, I did notice one thing. When installing a game from disc it seems to take up the entire OS. If I try to continue multi-tasking it seems to lock up for a bit.

Solaris17 · Aug 1, 2009

is anyone having problems with steam (source games) with windows 7 and nvidia? i have to stay at the default 180.xx because if i upgrade i get horrible unplayable discoloration etc when playing source games..like anything downloaded and ran by steam..L4D HL2 CS HL1 etc.

EastCoasthandle · Aug 1, 2009

Anyone tested Crysis Warhead with Win7 yet? It's incredibly fluid even at low frame rates. However as I progress further in the game (They call me Ishmael) it's starts to stutter like crazy regardless of frame rate at 1680x1050 all on Enthusiast using 4xAA. Funny thing is; when played on XP SP3 movement was a tad slower. I don't know if it's because of DX10 or not. I haven't figured out how to disable DX10 to use DX9 yet.

InnocentCriminal · Aug 1, 2009

Has anyone lost the Start Search function from their Start Menu, I've never actually had it when I installed the RC.

force DX9 right click on your shortcut and modify the target line add -dx9 it would look like this

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis WARHEAD\Bin32\Crysis.exe" -DX9

Huh?? That's a new one. Can you screen capture that?

Thank you very much for that. I also found out if you go to Start, Games and right click on Crysis Warhead you can select between DX9 and DX10. Neat!

EastCoasthandle · Aug 1, 2009

Crysis DX9 at 1680x1050, 4xAA blur disabled, Enthusiast mode

Crysis DX10 at 1680x1050, 4xAA blur disabled, Enthusiast mode

This is at the Lagoon in the (they call me Ishmael) on that small wooden walkway). I don't recall the stream being green in XP SP3. Is there someone using XP SP3 that can compare? I recall the stream being clear.
