jhouston Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I was just wondering how TEW 2008 runs on Vista. I have Vista Home Edition Basic and was considering installing the game on it. I have been running it using Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 on a virtual XP machine without much problem. Does it work good with Vista or should I keep it in XP?

WrestleManiac Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 My brand new pc is Vista and TEW08 works perfectly fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorpion Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 After all the problems I had with TEW 05, 07 and WMMA, not a single problem with 08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rajde Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 The one suggestion I have is that you install it in Public folder it just makes things easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R0CKSTAR Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 The games tends to freeze during daily roster processings and such. It's just a short freeze, but it does it on every day I process. The game still loads everything normally, but it gets annoying sometimes. Just a minor issue. May be that I just need more RAM or something.

It's what is doing it to me. I just installed today's patch and the only time it has frozen so far in the 15 minutes I've been playing is when it was setting up my new game. Froze for about 5 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FINisher Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Runs incredible well and fast on Vista, I was quite afraid that it wouldn't but it works 100% :) Try the trial if you haven't bought the game yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My laptop isn't exactly new but it's not terrible - certainly not for a game of this type (I can run Football Manager with no problems). It's not a major problem, it never staight up crashes, just freezes for a couple of seconds in parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plus-44 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I too will agree and say TEW 2008 runs perfect on a Vista OS. The loading times take seconds, literally. I'm guessing it all depends on what your system is packing. But if you have a fairly decent $500-700 computer, you'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big D Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 08 luckily works awesome on my HP, it runs alot better than WMMA imo. I wonder though, would it run slow if im using a ton of pictures for wrestlers? i currently am not using any picture pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flaviooooo Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Can any of the Vista users help me perhaps? I'm looking for my savegame, it's not located in the normal folder: C:\Program Files\GDS\TEW2008\Data\Default\SaveGames In there I can see 1 savegame which I created when I played as 'administrator'. The other one was just as simple user... I've ran a search on my pc, to no avail... Can you check how it's on your pc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderz Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 ive found that nothing shows up file wise unless youre running as an administrator.. i lost a save game that way and I dont know if theres a way to solve the problem, /get the files for that save game.. other than the 'running as administrator' annoyance the game runs smoothly on Vista.. not had a single problem.. not even had any freezing.. a big step up on 07 and even on WMMA (which only had minor freezing issues) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HHUK Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 It's flawless, not had one crash. TEW07 was terrible for crashing and locking up when using Vista but the memory problems have all been fixed and it's stable. My Cornellverse games process pretty much when I click, few second on the loading screen at most, it does help having an overclocked quadcore and overclocked RAM though. ;) Real world mods can take more than a few seconds though, first few days are abit longer due to the large amount of feds and workers, it slowly gets quicker after all their initial calculations though.
