Title: Vista support?
Post by: Jocce on October 21, 2008, 12:03:26

Does Shipsim 2008 (and new Horizons) support Vista 64 bit?
Do I need a special path or will it work "out of the box"?

I don't believe it works on 64 bit if you have an ATI card. We have had some members that had problems with the ATI card and 64 bit, and had to go to 32 bit.

I'm not sure if the newest ATI drivers have fixed their problems, Austin.

Is anyone using Vista 64 with ATI card?

You should try the demo to make sure before you buy.

I'll move this to General Discussions, which is probably more relevant.

The Ship SImulator 2008 area should ONLY be used for posting technical support queries relating to the Demo Version.

Yep I saw it. But you should still try it before you buy it. Just incase. :)

Thanks for the reply. I am glad the new ATI drivers are working. :)
