1.0.1 on Win7RC1 anyone?

[=SCoRPioN=]

Thinking of trying out Windows 7 RC1.

Heard lots of good things about it, including 2-3x the minimum FPS on multicore CPUs.

 

Not sure if the patch will work on it.

 

Please post, if anyone has tested it.

 

Thanks.

Works fine. No need to fiddle with multi cores anymore. It just Works.

That's cool, I did assume it was going to work.

I just wanted to know how much faster it worked.

What is your specs and minimum FPS in an online game?

You might consider this!

 

I am running DCS Blackshark on win7 64bit

 

the install placed it in Programfiles(x86) in my case.

 

But now that I am going to be using Modman 7.1 to mess around with my own custom skins. It might have been better to have it install in a different dir on the c:drive

 

If you might plan to do your own skins in the future check in the skins forum area where the best place is right away. I might have to do a reinstall now which is a pain in the butt!

 

I got warnings about the proper dir. when intalling modman. the member Skypat is a great help on the custom skin setup.

1.01 running in Win 7 X64 Ultimate, Build 7100 here. No issues at all.

 

ED has done a fantastic job with the patch. The whole sim is running smoother now and the new trim option is fantastic.

Alright, cool. Will try it out one of these days.

I install all my games into C:\GAMES\

Been used to that directory since DOS :)

Using Win7 Build 7100 X86. Only problem is some errors in the options menu. Probably not an issue with Win7 and Game though.

Patch to 1.01a

Seems to work fine on my Win7 RC 64.

Had some problems with W7 RC x64, the game would lock-up regularly, until I disabled the desktop gadgets. Now runs beautifully.

 

[EDIT] My problems had nothing to do with gadgets but with a faulty sound card connector. Sorry about that.

Ahh, good ol' DOS :) I do the same thing... c:\games\blackshark

I've succombed to new trends. C-partition can require to be reformatted after some time to clean up the OS and it's easier to defrag OS partition separately. Plus, there's no reason not to use spaces in directory names anymore. Thus, it's D:\Games\Black Shark ;)

If you're going to use a DOS-based FileSystem Recovery tool, you need to avoid all spaces and directory names no more than 8 letters long. Mine is C:\GAMES\Ka-50\

But why would you...? I'd assume that any DOS based recovery tool would have no idea what NTFS or any iteration of FAT over the last 10 years was...? Besides the fact that if it did work, quite a number of files and directories installed by Windows and applications don't follow 8.3.

 

1.0.1 so far has been fine on my Win7 box. Don't know if it's an improvement in frames since I built a new machine and stuck Win7 straight on it but affinity is set to all cores by default this time around. :)

I said DOS-based, but what I meant is command prompt based.

I had to recover one of my old drives with a tool like that, and even though it recognized NTFS, it could only handle 8 characters long file names.

 

In any case, a program like that will shorten the file names that are longer with an '~' at the end.

 

All I'm saying is that it is safer to name files, but mostly directories within 8 characters, and no spaces. It would be easier to find/recover those, if needed.
