Windows 7 and IL2... No love?
Hi!
Anyone else that has tried IL2 on the Windows 7 beta? I've tried some other games that seem to run better than on Vista (that hog), but unfortunately IL2 on OpenGL settings does not work for me... I have an Nvidia 8800GTX card with the 181.20 drivers and IL2 4.08 with the latest (?) graphic dll's ( 02/27 2008 ). When I run it the screen gets vertical oscillating tears/ripples all over like an old CRT that is about to die... Naturally it works on DirectX - but with bad FPS and quality etc... I know Windows 7 is just a beta - but it's interesting to hear if the problem affects others (ATI users for example)... Since Vista was so bad at OpenGL until SP1 I had hoped that SP2 (Windows 7  ) was going to be even better at OpenGL... Yeah - that's stupid.Going back to trusty old XP again... /Mazex

The score is not better that XP, but it's close enough. W7 generally feels a lot snappier than Vista so I have good vibes about it - even though I get a lot of bluescreens right now... As the expected release is late 09 they have a lot of time for fixing them. As it is now it almost feels like running Ubuntu sometimes - and thats good!

"Windows 7 and IL2... No love?"
Don't bother making any decisions on the new OS now. Test results showing how poorly IL-2 runs on Vista or W7 is a pointless exercise. Wait for SoW and the retail release of W7 and then worry about weather the new OS is worth your hard earned $$$.

I'm pretty sure Eco uses an 8800GTS. As far as the Windows7 beta, I'm not too concerned. While is popular (even politically correct at times) to bash MS, their track record in learning from their mistakes is pretty good. I doubt Windows7 will be any different. I'm still running XP Pro SP3 and intend to leap-frog Vista altogether. Preliminary reports on driver support, speed and compatibility of W7 all sound like things are moving in the right direction.

A problem? Hope not... SoW will probably have DirectX support as well, lets just hope that it's not as bad as the dx mode in IL2 in that case. I don't really understand why to bother doing both OpenGL and dx if you only release the game on the Windows platform though... Anyway - it's the first public beta and it's so much better than Vista was 12 months before release...

Does anyone know what is actually the problem here? I thought it was drivers, or Aero Glass GUI, but I have R4850 card and mazex has nVidia and we both have the same problem... One wird thing (one other guy running W7+DCS noticed too) is that screen refresh frequency is fixed at 59 Hz in W7, and cannot be changed to 60 Hz. Maybe that is the issue?
