Određen forumom Re: igre koje rade/ne rade na Vista Ultimate....

Oblivion, Steam/HL2, and Battlefield 2
We didn't notice any problems running Oblivion under Vista – it performed beautifully right from the start. Performance seems quite good already, though things got a bit choppy in outdoor scenes due to a bit more hard drive access than we'd like. Upgrading our test machine from 1GB of RAM to 2GB smoothed that out. It works fine in a window, too, even with all the fancy graphics options enabled. This is another one we would consider fully Vista-ready if only it would show up in the Games Explorer. Of course, there's nothing stopping you from launching the game the same old way you do in Windows XP.

Steam/Half-Life 2
We didn't have any problems at all running the Steam platform, downloading games, or playing Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Lost Coast, or Counter Strike: Source. That's no guarantee that every game available on Steam will work perfectly, but it appears that all the games based on the Source engine are good to go.

ADVERTISEMENT We're not sure how the Games Explorer is going to work with these games. Will it list all Steam games individually? With it list Steam as well? If so, how will it handle ratings? For now, nothing appears in the Games Explorer at all.

(Fun Trivia Fact: Gabe Newell was employee #273 at Microsoft, where he worked for 13 years before founding Valve)

Battlefield 2
We ran Battlefield 2 in both its native un-patched state and with the latest 1.3 patch, and both of them seemed to work just fine. There's one significant gotcha that crept up several times in our testing: Punkbuster. The Punkbuster anti-cheating code is a common part of many online games (particularly shooters), and it works by scanning game files to make sure they're not compromised. Most Battlefield 2 servers have Punkbuster enabled, and when we joined one, we got promptly kicked out of the game with a message saying Punkbuster failed due to "inadequate O/S privelages."


The solution is simple enough: right-click the BF2 icon, choose Properties, and then in the Compatibility tab check the box that says "Run this program as an administrator." After doing this, we encountered no problems joining any server.

There's one other small curiosity, too. During the installation, we received a warning that the game has only been tested on 32-bit Windows XP. You don't have to do anything here, just press "OK" and let it continue installing.
