Why does tron suck on vista?

what do you recommend as a pci-express card i should buy i have tons of cash so that isn't a problem i want 300-400 fps in tron and it to work with vista. i went out and bought a 320 gb hd for xp, so i can just run it on that, but it would be better if i could stay in one operating system lol

could get the 8800 if you got tons of money...top of the line from nvidia and just came out
about $400 to $800 on new egg
but you probably don't need to go that high

even a 7800 should work fine

anyway just take a look at those 8800's they are huge

What's the point of 300–400 FPS? BTW, it is possible to reach it if you're somewhat conservative with some settings on hardware of at most a few years old (not days).

Am I the only one to begin to recognize a stereotype?

I think this could be a problem with my router/conection but, if you have some time Z-man can you try running an armagetron advanced server using Vista. I have troble with it just shutting off when people leave the server. it doe sent bother me much right now so just when you have a chance.

Stupid question: Did you check DEDICATED_IDLE?

probably not.. i'll try again latter with that, i don't have time to run a server for a while though

but still doesent fix the crash when players leave
i think it is something with app data and not being able to write to it i'm not sure though

Sorry, unfortunately the adapter I used to attach the Vista HD to my PC broke. I can't explain how, it's just a purely electric thing. So no more vista for me at the moment. Can't say I'm terribly unhappy about it.

With crashes, just send in a recording. They really should be OS independent
