Mobile Weapon for Windows Vista

Our publishers now require us to make our games compatible with Vista so we bought 2 new workstations (with 20" widescreen monitors! Core 2 Duo Processors! Radeon X1300 XT Graphics Card!) operating Windows Vista.

I tried installing some of my games on one of our Vista PCs:
- The Sims 2: worked fine, looks great on widescreen too
- C&C3 demo: lagged like crazy. Only playable on the lowest settings after getting a driver update
- Starwars: Knights of the old Republic: couldn't even start
- Elderscrolls 4 Oblivion: lagged like crazy.

We've tried Mobile Weapon 1 on Vista and it seems to be working fine but there were some potential problems that TY discovered like not being able to find the location of save files (but they can still be loaded ingame). MW1 has rather low requirements and our PCs are quite powerful so it might actually be running inefficiently without us even knowing it.

I've created a forum topic here if you'd like to discuss the issue with us.
