Lugaru + Vista Problems

Post by shaddy » Mon Oct 08, 2007 6:56 pm

I downloaded the Lugaru demo, but it barely runs on Vista. THe framerate is at about 2 or 3, and the levels freeze when loading. My friend ran Lugaru fine on his 6 year old XP, but Vista is messing it up. I've tried running it in 'Compatablility' mode, and with visual themes diabled. But nothing seems to work. Can anyone help?

Do other games run ok? It might help to update your graphics drivers to the latest version.

All my other games including 'EVE - Online' and 'TES4: Oblivion' run perfectly, and I just updated my drivers a week ago. I know Vista is messing it up, but I don't know how to deal with it....

I would try making sure OpenGL is running correctly on your system. I assume you've already tried running in XP SP2 compatibility mode.

I'll check the OpenGL, and I already tried all the different compatibility modes.

EDIT: I installed the most recent OpenGL and it still doesn't work on Vista....

This is when you take out your shot gun and threaten your computer.

Are you running the 32 bit or 64 bit? I have 32 bit I can test it and mess around on. see if it works for me at all.

I'm running (sadly) Windows Vista Home Basic 32-bit. I wish I had an apple, but they're so much more expensive than the Windows one now (only $370 CAD with all taxes and shipping)
