Vista
 

Just wondering if anyone is running Vista yet and are you having any issues with Ryzom?

Re: Vista
 

unless 80% of the games i'd like to play REQUIRE DX10 i will never switch, since, aside from the oodles of reasons against Vista, DX10 is the single reason for it. ;)

Check the tech-support forums :)

Yes, it works.

Lol. A PC is far more than a Game console, you know? And no, DX10 is only one more reason to switch to Vista; there are a lot more, and good ones.

I'm with Xenofur on passing on Vista :)

You should look up some articles on Vista's "fine print." It's rather dystopian.

Re: Vista
 

The part about the game console is exactly my point. The only advantage that Vista offers over XP is that it is able to display games that support DX10 better. All the other stuff is either about restricting what you can do with computer or pure eye candy without any merit in a work environment.

This should be moved to off-topic though, methinks.

That stuff about restricting what you can do with your computer, is completely fake information. Give me a verifiable example of a restriction first. A firewall, now THAT's restriction, I say! Yes, the eye candy is a bit too much, but when enabled you are using the new window renderer, which uses more of the gfx card instead of cpu than the old one, and gives every window it's own drawing buffer, greatly reducing required CPU power for UI drawing (and increasing RAM requirements, btw).

I recommend giving the user you use to log in full access rights to the folder where you installed Ryzom, so the updates are written directly to the installation directory instead of the virtual personal program files override directory.

No need; several months testing vista at home and work. I know it *very* good. Much more stable, and more secure for final user.

And the eyecandy; only if you like it.

BTW, as Riveit says, the restrictions are a fake. Some people have to learn what means "trusted computing" and another things...

And yes, this is a big off-topic
