millmax: Wanna fly over Oslo? PM me!; +18|6802|Norway

Hey
Does W7 run Bf2 out of the box? If not, how can we make it? Is xp mode a perf killer?
Also, does the 64 bit edition run bf2 as well?

Please share your experiences!

as far as I know evenbalance does not support Win7 so Punkubuster will not work properly meaning you won't be able to play multiplayer

I've found a COD4 fix for a previous version, build 7000

* Enable Vista compabitility for PnkBstrA/B.exe in c:\windows\syswow64 and c:\users\your_username\appdata\local\punkbuster.
* Running above files with administrator rights.
* Enable Vista compabitility for C:\Program Files (x86)\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\iw3mp.exe
* Run iw3mp.exe (cod4 mp) without administrator rights

Donno is this will work for Windows 7 RC. Or Bf. Anyone?

Windows 7 64 bit worked fine for me without trouble.

Yeah Punkbuster worked without a doubt. I haven't had any compatibility issues at all.

good to know, speaking of windows 7 I got some advice saying not to upgrade hardware until 7 has been out for a while, but I really want to get a working desktop again so have there been any issues with recent hardware and windows 7?
