Windows Vista eliminates vehicle bug
Hello. I decided to go to Windows Vista (x64) at this point, after hearing the drivers and such were pretty good now for games. That was the only thing holding me back from it previously. I already had prior experience with Vista.
So of course I wanted to test some things with Neocron.
First, my original problem: On Windows XP SP2, if I used DirextX 9 mode in Neocron, whenever I would get on a vehicle and drive around, I wouldn't actually be driving anywhere. It would look as if I were driving on my screen, but to others I'd be sitting there. By the time I would get to the end of the zone, I would simply bounce off the edge (because I wasn't really there). If you jump off the vehicle, you return to your previous position and the vehicle warps back to you at lightspeed. Others have had this bug as well. Using DirectX 7 mode was the only way to fix this for me. And of course, DX7 is an inferior mode for almost everything else.
Now using Windows Vista x64 (should work for the 32 bit version as well), I can use DirectX 9 mode without any problems. Just a heads up for others that have had that bug, everything I tried under Windows XP never worked.
It's also a post to show that Neocron 2 works perfectly under Windows Vista (for me anyways). I can alt-tab anywhere and back again with 2 clients running, etc. It's also relevant to point out I don't use User Account Control (UAC), which is what usually trips people up with Neocron and other programs.
Vista for NC bugs salvatio???
So i guess that i'll be happy to have a copy of your Vista or something like that... I can't buy this damn bugged OS right now... For the Bug Vehicule is really annoying i have it for a long time (since past July) and i've tried every thing 3 diferente Hadrwares (processors AMD athlon XP 2400, Pentium D, and now AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400 reinstalled windows XP direfentes SP... still the bugs persite.
