Spring 79.1 on Windows 7 RC1 Test Report

Post by el_matarife »

TASClient: Crashed immediately when started. I have a crashlog I can email to Satirik if he can post the email address he reads.

Springlobby 10472: Started, but the update failed when it couldn't replace its executable file to update. It also couldn't find unitsync. Running it as an admin seems to have cleared up the issues.

I haven't yet tried starting a game, but will try later. Anyone else running Windows 7 and want to share their impressions?

SL sounds the same as Vista + UAC there.

Windows 7 is basically supposed to behave the same as Vista for compatibility reasons, so I am not surprised. I just thought I'd give everyone a heads up that the out of the box experience of Spring on Windows 7 and maybe Windows Vista is pretty lousy right now.

TASclient is fail on Windows 7.

SpringLobby works fine if UAC is off or you run as admin.

So basically same as orig. poster.

Interesting, are you running 64 bit or 32 bit and are we talking stock out of the box settings or did you make any changes to the OS at all before installing Spring?

64-bit.
no changes other than using a tasclient labeled 0.43, possibly one of the beta versions created while I was working with satirik

I tried Tasclient 0.46 and later 0.48 with Windows 7 RC1 (build 7100) and both work without any problems. Haven't tried starting any games yet.

Edit: started a game, xta 9.58 with spring version 0.79.1.2, and it works. The framrate is even a remarkable 400 fps, with default settings. Usually my framerate is about 40.
