Post by Elvisman2001 »

I decided to upgrade to Vista 64.

Can't get it to run.
Any of you guys running V64 and running this succesfully?

I am hoping I am not going to have to shelve this great game.

I just get a black screen when I attempt to run it. Tried it in Windows Xp SP2 compatability mode as well.

Nevermind. I got it working. Apparently, Vista didnt like me just dragging .exe into the game explorer. Creating a shortcut and then dragging that into it fixed it.
I am good to go so far.
Struggling a bit with the new vista stuff.

Should work fine with Vista64. For future reference, copy the entire folder from the old installation over to the new hard drive (usually c:\\sw3dg\\EvochronRenegades), then run the latest installer to update it to the latest build and place an icon on your desktop, then move it as desired after the full installation is finished.

I recommend backing up that folder periodically or at a minimum, your pilot profiles.

I tested the game on my new notebook (running Vista 64 bit) and it works as usual. :cool:
