Vista RC1

[denny]

Hi, I am playing with Vista and Q II wanted to use the fixed client and the GL but seems to have some kind of problems in vista.

RC1 / 5600 on x64 intel system

if I try and load the gl dll (r1ch one) it throws an error about registering the window class
if I use the std gl dll that error does not happen.
not sure if it's me, gl or the game exe....

std Q II exe works fine on RC1.

Only Windows 2000, XP and 2003 are supported (32 bit).

If you'd included that quote in its proper context Bossman, it only applies to the anticheat.

Right now, using R1Q2 on Vista, especially on x86-64 is unsupported since I haven't tested it in this configuration, and you'll also be dealing with the WoW system when trying to run 32 bit apps. I recommend you use WinXP x86 when trying to play games.

from what I can tell the R1Q2 client with the software render does run.
and open gl as shipped with the Q2 CD works.
so I think that if the issue with the renderer was found then it would be ok.

I Know Vista is Beta.... I am trying out a bunch of games this weekend and some business stuff also...
just figured I'd let you know what I saw.

Try the .dll from http://www.r1ch.net/stuff/r1q2/pre/

   Is that really out of context?

[Bossman]

   Thats because I/we are not talking about anticheat here....

The thread you were quoting was titled "Anticheat not work Windows XP x64".

As far as I know R1Q2 works at least from w98 onwards (not sure about w95) and R1GL runs atleast on Win 9x/NT/2K/XP/2K3.

   Talk about taking something out of context lets look again here suport with using Vista RC1...... Does Vista RC1 suport 95 98 or even 2000? The End...
