You need like a quadcore to play modern games in wine/cedega at acceptable speed. I just always had a 40 gb gaming windows partition.

At least in my Vista version there are a lot of bugs, even the Explorer is crashing regulary, deleted folders suddenly appear again in the folder list, shadowing of files has several reported bugs. Vista is a closed proprietrary system, that's not making it easy to find problems when your program is randomly crashing, freezing or just closing while on another Windows it is working perfectly fine. We know that we need to make Graal more compatible to Vista, but it's not as easy as you might think. Also we can't spend all of our time on this single problem either. The next Graal version will definitely improve things, until then either update your graphics card driver which will fix most problems, install Graal into a folder without space in its name, or use XP if possible.

Is yours patched because mine has been running fine. I've got the latest June 1st drivers from Nvidia and its installed in my /documents/ folder which has no spaces. Guess all I can do is wait then. But is their any estimated date on a fix?

graal runs fine for me on vista ultimate.

but when i try to open a pm it crashes.

also, when i close graal it gives me a runtime error. (i also get a runtime error when i open a pm or try to create one)

and of course there's the minor glitch with gfx still.

imma update my graphics driver right now, bbl with results.

ok, here is how Graal runs on vista for me:

first i open graal, and since i set it to "Run as administrator" i get an allow or decline window. i allow it to run and then it runs...(just thought i'd put that in for no reason..)

here is pic 1, graal main window: as you can see, some graphics are distorted (like the Start button and the other ones)


here is pic 2, graal server window: as you can see, there's some graphics distorted here too.


pic 3, just me walking around, notice the gfx? those are suppose to be clouds...not huge signs.


picture #4, i am about to message lucky Luda.


picture 5, but then this happened. forcing me to close Graal4.exe through the taskbar.


pic 6, so i get back on, and i am about to close graal.


pic 7, damn it wtf. so i click ok


pic 8, wtf another error? i keep clicking ok and it doesn't close so i have to shut down the Graal4.exe process through the taskbar..btw, here's the 2nd error i get after clicking ok on the first error.

@Alure1316

Yup same for me, I use Vista Home Premium and I get all the same errors/bugs.

[Delta2004]

I've got Home Premium and I don't have all those issues :o Just graal randomly crashes (usually longer than an hour though), and all animated flower graphics get all messed up.

[ArushenP2P]

I got the same problem too, and I'm using Vista Home Premium

Uh, yeah you can. Microsoft isn't pulling the XP OEM license until Jan 2008.

I even went to Dell.com just to confirm this and I'm still able to find PCs being offered with Windows XP.

try updating your graphics driver.

and what settings do you have? why doesn't your graal do what ours does

[Admins]

Those graphics messups are caused by the software-renderer, the graphics card doesn't seem to support accelerated graphics although that messed-up letters image is transparent. It should eventually work better with the next Graal version.

The runtime error when closing the game is more complex, seems to have to do with the Vista file shadowing and depends on the filename of the exe. That is normally fixed by installing Graal into a folder that doesn't have spaces in it's name.

Oh!!! I Got Pms To Work!!!!!

Not sure if this is already posted cuase I dont feel like reading the 12 pages of pointlessness of Vista, anyways here is what I did. XD

Right click on Graal4.exe, go to properties, then the compatibilty tab and clicked "Run in compatibilty mode for" then clicked "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)", then I checked "Disable Visual Themes" Now I can PM and I don't get the error when I close Graal. Graal is normal other than a few graphical errors!!! XP
