When you say it hates vistas can you be more specific ... what is its behavior?

I use Vista, and it runs smooth on high graphics for me personally, I have not encountered any errors or overt framerate drop as of yet.

It crashes at times, Lags very badly out of no where: and I got all of my graphics as low as they can go so...thats kinda a problem: There is a possable solition that I find kinda hard to believe: Outdated Graphics Card or something :\

Vamisk has been having graphics problems too. I think it might be the same problem ... I think its a combination of your hardware and the mod.

Can you give me your hardware specs: Processor, RAM, Video Card? I hope you have 2GB of memory or more for Vista! Vista takes 1GB and Sins takes between 0.8 to 1.7GB depending on your effects settings. And yes it could be your graphics card - Sins is a CPU hog and also there are some minimum requirements for Graphics Cards, Sins has thousand's of textures it does/can use!

Which mod are you playing Maelstrom or Maelstrom Expansion? Have you got version 1.191 of Sins? As for crashes, I can't remember when was the last time I had a crash, this is not a beta release of the mod!

The only time I have had lag, is on a Huge random map when all 10 players are fully developed.

Ironclad and Stardock have updated their minimum system requirements for SoaSE - see the description section in the Maelstrom download area for more info - I've updated it.

well im on vacation atm, so no specifications (detailed) I can give you but what I can give you is this: The HDD is 200 GB large, Got a NVIDA (I think its spelled wrong) Graphics Card. It could also be the fact that the its just the Vista itself sence well we all know Vista Sucks ***.

When you get back from vacation send me the details ..until then I'll check and see if other people are having problems with Vista.
Testing and development of this mod has been with XP and Windows 7.
