Togg Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I have searched through the forums and cant find anything that answers my question, so im hoping someone can help me out. Ive been running TEW on XP for years, begrudgingly not updating due to it working fine on XP, like a little work horse. Now I’ve been thinking of updating for some time and im looking into a super fast custom PC on Windows 7 64bit and wondered if it runs on 64bit, and how well it runs? Huge thanks to anyone who helps, I don’t want to go upgrading and then not being able to play the most played game on the pc ever:D. Also sorry if this is in the wrong area. After years of being a member and hundreds of posts later, you would think I knew the ropes:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Ryland Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 From what we've established so far, it will run correctly on a computer that was 64bit from the start, but if it was a 32bit machine that was upgraded then you may have issues with the licensing software and be unable to play the game.

jhd1 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Thanks Adam, and thanks Togg for making the thread I have been meaning to do for ages Just about the only thing I use my laptop for (outside of emails/work etc.) is playing TEW so spending a few hundred pounds on a PC that then won't run it would be a bit of a disaster. The only thing is - you can hardly buy anything other than Windows 7 now and anything that looks like it might be half decent is 64bit! If you do get a said PC Togg, I'd be interested to hear how you get on (or anybody else who has 64 bit Windows 7, for that matter). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoganRodzen Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I've been using all Adam Ryland created games on 64-bit operating systems without a problem. I've used Vista 64-bit and currently using Windows 7 64-bit. I have TEW05, TEW07, TEW08, and TEW2010 all installed and working (previously on Vista x64 and now Windows 7 x64). WreSpi I and II work perfectly. And even the WMMA3 demo works correctly. I've seen quite a few discussions about this under tech support and the problem originates from people who upgrade their OS and/or hardware. If you're simply installing a fresh copy of Windows 7 64-bit on your PC then you'll have zero issues at all. If you were upgrading from Vista 64-bit to Windows 7 64-bit, you'd still have ZERO issues at all (it's how I upgraded to Windows 7). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be simply buying an entirely new system so presumably that'd be the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Togg Posted December 18, 2010 Author Share Posted December 18, 2010 From what we've established so far, it will run correctly on a computer that was 64bit from the start, but if it was a 32bit machine that was upgraded then you may have issues with the licensing software and be unable to play the game. Huge thanks Mr Ryland. Hearing it straight from the horses mouth makes me pretty confident with purchasing it now . Cant live without TEW! Thanks Adam, and thanks Togg for making the thread I have been meaning to do for ages Just about the only thing I use my laptop for (outside of emails/work etc.) is playing TEW so spending a few hundred pounds on a PC that then won't run it would be a bit of a disaster.

If you do get a said PC Togg, I'd be interested to hear how you get on (or anybody else who has 64 bit Windows 7, for that matter). My point exactly, It would have been a huge disaster to upgrade and find out that it wont play TEW, or any of the other games such as WreSpi. 90% of my time gaming is on TEW, so buying a PC that wouldnt run it or be stable with it, would be utterly usless to me. Im going to be buying a brand new custom PC (from a friend). so it wont previously have any 32bit Windows on it. Thankfully . I'm guessing all hardware works with TEW, including the new AMD x6 processors? I'll let you know how it goes JHD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCK604 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I've been talking about a problem I've been having on the small questions topic about the load times of TEW2010. I thought it was just normal, but some others are not getting the long load times that I'm getting, and it seems to be that 64-bit Win7 is the problem. It takes 3-5 seconds to load the control panel, 6 seconds to open the roster, 4 seconds to open a profile... just about all pages have ~5 second delays. I've been having this problem playing the demo with the C-verse database. If it were fixed, I'd definitely buy the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Togg Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 From Windows XP (32bit) AMD Athalon (single core) Processor 2.0ghz 2GB Ram 64MB ATI TV To Windows 7 Professional (64bit) AMD Phenom II X6 (six core) Processor 3.20ghz 16GB Ram 1GB ATI ASUS HD 6870 ASUS Core Unlocker and Turbo Booster Mother Board All for a shade under £850 What a HUGE improvement, didnt realise how slow the old one was, untill the new beast was built. For anyone who was waiting to hear how TEW 2010 runs on Windows 7 (64bit)... it runs perfectly. I would even go as far to say its as good as XP with running it. Ive had no issues to date, and thats with all the older TEW's and Wrestling Spirit 1 + 2, which both work fine. Also the Demo's for WMMA 1,2 and 3 work just fine too. Anyone who was thinking about upgrading to 64 bit Win-7 need not worry . Thanks to everyone who gave me the advice. Now onto making Graphics for TEW. Users of the S-Glow background will be happy to learn that things run so fast... graphics wont take hours or days to do . Worker Pack here i come Being free from constant loading is almost as good as hearing that TNA has Fired Russo:D (Foley'esk cheap pop for my diary, returning soon) lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
