I am posting this here as I want to get an idea of operating system usage by game. I will be posting a similar poll in the SH5 forum; if you also play SH5, pls post there as well as that will assist with some trending (as I said, I want usage by game, not player).

So the simple question: on what operating system (OS) have you installed SH3?

You copy-and-paste silly person. This is the SH3 forum.
:rotfl2:

Win XP.

[edit] Ooh! Ooh! I win! All your vote are belong to me!

vista 64 bit. on xp32 i had massive frame rate stuttering at night when searchlichts are on. surely a software/driver/directx problem which i solved. so i installed vista64 only for sh3.

At the moment Win7 64bit, (with non-administrator account) but in the past WinXP SP2, Vista 32bit and Win7 32bit.

Am currently running it on win XP. When game was brand new, first install was on win 98. This old beast would barely run it. Even had it on my new build (win 7 64bit) for a short time, but for ease of operation (least amount of BS) and absolutely no installation issues, it's win XP all the way. I use the new machine for new stuff, and run all my old crap (old Five Star titles that I dearly love) on XP. Those old games don't mix with 64bit.

Windows 7 64-bit. All runs smoothly, no problems at all (engage smug mode:D).

64-bit Win 7 for me, I've had no issues (so far) running 'old' games and it runs SH3+GWX like a dream, sometimes a wet, cold, sea-sick dream, but a dream nonetheless! :yeah:

Win 7 32 bit. Used to have XP but got tired of it constantly crashing or hanging the OS up. Now on 7 it runs pretty much glitch free, only time I've CTD is when trying to open a savegame that's underwater (which is risky anyways, usually it fails to work 7 out of 8 times when saved underwater. Other than that (which is really a SH bug as I understand) it runs really sweet.

I should get three votes! Two on XP, one on Windows 7 x64. For this poll, I voted W7, as this is the PC I use most often.

I'm using 7 ultimate 64-bit now. Have to manually set resolution to SH3 default in order to avoid "Could not initialize 3D engine"

I find windows 7 to be fairly simple but I have been using Vista for a couple years now, and Windows 7 seems to have been based off Vista to an extent

Agreed, my understanding is W7 is what Vista was meant to be or the 'finished article' if you like.
