Morgan Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Well, I installed Windows 7 and was prepared to deal with a few issues here and there as I installed my little collection of games. However, I had no issues. Zero. None. Win7 recognized all of my hardware, installed all of my games the first time through and never even broke a sweat. Its not as pretty or flashy as Vista was, but its much easier to use and the gui is much more logical and flows extremely well. Performance wise...easily 5 or 6 times faster than Vista was to boot from scratch and program loads were much, much faster. Under Vista ArmA load time was usually 30 - 40 seconds before the first splash screen displayed.... in Win7 I am at the main ArmA menu within 10 -15 seconds. Overall Im extremely pleased even though this is only an RC version. Cant wait for the full meal deal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgan Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 In addition to making sure that PB is allowed access through the firewall, PB ALSO runs as a Windows Service and MUST be enabled as a service or it will never run. In WIn7 I was prompted by the Windows Firewall to allow PB, in Vista I was not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zathrus~SPARTA~ Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 It is my understanding that the only problem with Punkbuster and WIN 7 is in Farcry 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
