SH4 and Vista....Any Confirmed Users?

How is Vista and SH4 running together? I can only seem to get Vista in my new system and was concerned on how it may operate compared to XP.

Just took delivery of SHIV and will be installing onto Vista later tonight so I'll let you know.

Yes, it's fully Vista compatible and it works like a charm. No decreased performance. I'm using Vista Ultimate edition.

I am running SH4 on the 64 bit edition of Vista Home Premium and it works just fine.

@aso

I have SHIV installed and running perfectly with Vista Ultimate 32 bit.

Installed on Dell M1710 running Vista Business, running at 1900x1200 smooth as butter.

Only 1 crash so far from looking at a Japanese pilot floating in the water through the binos and accidently hitting the spacebar (fire deck gun). Otherwise, things appear to be good, apart from the known bugs.

The telegraph errors are particularly entertaing...selecting ahead 1/3 gets a crewman saying "All ahead full". Looking forward to the patch. :rotfl:
