Windows 7

Just wondering if CoH is going to work with Windows 7. When Vista came out I know some ppl had trouble at first.

The tech issues forum would be the best place to ask, but from what I have heard most of the issues disappear if you make sure to download the drivers from your video card's manufacturer's website (the defualts drivers that come with 7 don't work as good as the full driver fro online)

I have been playing it with Windows 7 for several weeks now since I upgraded without problems.


total kick to the gut

This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.

Badging in a PvP zone?

If you are treasure hunting on a battlefield wearing an enemy uniform, there is a high probability that you will be attacked.

Yes. I've had no problems here, from the beta, through RC, to Win7 x64 Home.

Been running Win7 x86 Ultimate since before the commercial release without issue.

All of this. Smoothest OS upgrade I've ever had, and I went straight from XP to 7.

There have been some people that have come to the tech forums with issues, but in nearly all cases those were because of improper driver installations (or, more recently, with AV programs) and not a problem with Win 7 itself. I've been running CoH on Win 7 since it opened to Beta and had no serious issues myself.

As i understand it Windows 7 could just as accurately be called Vista Service Pack 3 or Vista Release Version. It's not a major change in the codebase like most windows releases that are given new names, just a bunch of much-needed improvements. More in the vein of Windows 3.0 to Windows 3.11 than Windows 98 to Windows XP.

So if anything CoH should run better, since Windows now runs better.

Running perfect. Just remember to do a windows update after install to get the right drivers.

Windows update will give you up-to-date basic drivers in most cases, but there are a few (for example, the nVidia vid card drivers) that you should be downloading from the manufacturer's site in order to get the advanced functions that Windows Update doesn't provide. For the most part, it's just vid card and maybe sound drivers, depending on what sound card you have.
