Debating whether to take the plunge on my AC machine. Want to see if anyone on the beta has it working with decal, dual client, and AC.

Pretty similar to Vista in many aspects, should work okay.

Upgraded from Vista Ultimate x64 w/SP2 to Windows 7 x64 beta and was able to get AC running under XP compatability mode, but no luck with Decal yet.

Re-installing Vista. 7 is obviously not ready for primetime. AC would run, but had noticable chat lag. Couldn't get game to load with Decal running - it hung up after both load bars filled with blue. I could try doing a clean install, but don't think it's worth the trouble.

Imagine that from a beta product.

Xp since SP2 and Vista both work great here for me. I'll take them over Linux any day.

on that blue update lines fill and the screen just sits there.

i run xp pack 2 on all my machines, AND occassionally i run into that problem on one or two of them on patch day. most go to 100% and then the log in screen pops up.

then occassionally on one patch day one will go to 100% and then sit there forever. after a few minutes of that i kill the process, reboot the machine and then am able to log into AC no more problems. it isn't always the same machine and it isn't always every patch.

so it's just something odd about possibly a timing issue with machine, OS, internet, the weather????

may want to try the reboot and see if you can log in next time it happens to you.

AC works just fine for me, upgraded a Vista 64 to Win7 64...but can't get Decal to show up in game. Funny though...I thought for sure it was working before the patch, but had other problems with video so was focused on that. Dual Client gives a nasty error related to performance counters and won't load.

I can't get AC to work for me, but I'm running Windows 7 inside of MS Virtual Machine 2007. I might clear a partition and try installing to that.

Pokerstars worked fine though. :P

AC Works, Decal Doesn't. Same results if you try to run AC inside of a DirectX emulating Virtual Machine.

I was able to get AC to work, but Decal I can not get to work sad I read on the decal dev board that x64 bit wouldn't be supported, which is what I think Windows 7 beta is. sad

Just an update:

The latest build of Windows 7 (build 7068) works with Decal now.

I have been ingame with the decal bars up and running.
