Vista?

Post by daferg »

Howdy! I just bought Uncommon Valor and of course it does not work. This game looks great. Any issues running it on Vista?

I have not had any issues with it. However, 64 bit Vista does not seem to work with Tracker, which I've been told is awesome.

I run Tracker just fine on 64-bit Vista. The key is using 32-bit Java.

Martian Gamecock,
I have both 32-bit and 64-bit Java on my windows 7 machine. Does tracker need to be directed to the 32-bit in some fashion or will it choose automatically. I know this is probably somewhere in the tracker thread, but I don't feel like searching through a gazillion pages.

I only have one installed, so I don't know. I suspect it would be controlled by your PATH environment variable.

Thank you for the replies. I did not understand them but thanks anyhow. I bought it and it works. Talk about a huge game. Wow.

I'm sure you can get UV to work on Vista too ... just make sure not to install to program files & use / setup compatibility mode for UV.

There are still ppl playing UV and I'm sure asking the Q in that forum would get a better response.

Incorrect it does work ... just not as easy to set up.(see below)

Yes it does if you have both Java versions installed ... and our web-page has this information...

Batch file should look like this for 64 bit users...

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xms384m -Xmx512m -jar "WitPTracker.jar"
