It worked somewhat before the last global update, then I started getting the AcLayers.dll error. In other words, the most recent update that all players received caused another problem with Vista. Because of that error, I can't see if the version you posted here fixes the problems from the version before the global update. I am betting if the AcLayers thing is fixed, sound will start working

It is running in compatibility mode, yes.

That exe does make a difference, it actually loaded without Teamspeak client running. Though it might be a glitch still from me running my processor up to about 95% inuse before I launched graal before, I will post any changes if any after a restart.

**Graal4.exe still difficult to launch.

MS released a new Application Compatibility Toolkit to evaluate compatibility with Vista yesterday. It can be used in Win2k and WinXP
Not sure if it is of any use, but here it is:

That program is more for checking if the installed programs are known to work fine after OS upgrade / Windows update. It is not checking for bugs or so in the program or OS itself.
We will try to test Graal soon on Vista.

we need a Windows Vista compatible Graal client right away. Compatibility is set to "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)" and everytime the Graal client is run, it goes through its usual auto update and once the Download Progress is at 100%, an error message is displayed on the screen:

Login
Access violation at address 6CFD1826 in module 'AcLayers.dll'. Read of Address 00000010.

I randomly get booted off the Graal client, but one thing that does close the Graal client is if you press Alt+2 to try and take a screenshot. Sometimes double-clicking on toall messages will boot me out of the Graal client too. Graphics seem ok, except for when you press the Tab button to show the text box.

Oh btw, my Windows Experience Index base score is 4.1 out of 5.

You downloaded the latest version of Graal? It should not auto-update in that case. Also the aclayers.dll thing was eventually caused by the sound library in the old Graal version, so it might work better with the latest version.

Are you sure you're not talking about a BETA version or the RC1 release?

i have version 4.0.2.7; the client tries to update itself evertime I log into the server.

other problems include being sometimes booted off the client if I try to read PM's and when I try to download additional files such as the Level Editor, I get booted off the Graal Client too.

Current version is 4.208, download it from the website. That should fix the update problem, for the other things you will need to wait until we have fully tested and fixed Graal for Vista.

i'm also missing a few folders in the Graal folder. the only folders i see are:

languages3D
levels
levels3d
sounds

I'm pretty sure there are more folders (and files) such as "PM" and "Profiles", etc... when I try to read a PM, i get booted off the Graal Client, so i can't read any PM's from anybody and it doesn't save any PM's anywhere on the hard drive. Also, one thing i noticed was that sometime I get hurt in NON-PK areas and I don't get hurt in a few PK areas on Vista (I'm not at 100ap). I don't know what the deal is, but the new version 4.2.0.8 seems a little more stable, but i still get randomly booted off the Graal Client.

Should also mention that this happens when you try to open PMs :P

Yeah, I was silly enough to buy and upgrade to Windows Vista Ultimate today much to the warning of Crono, but I'm having all of these problems too.

Atleast your desktop is pretty now. :P

I dont have that problem.. but whenever updateboard() is called, it causes very strange graphical errors.
