    Default EB II and Vista

    I know that while EB 1.1 isn't incompatible with Vista, there tend to be a lot more bugs playing the game on Vista as opposed to XP. Is EB II going to fix this problem? Will it be equally compatible on both OS's? -M

    I've had less bugs on Vista actually.

    If Medieval II - Kingdoms works on Vista, so should EB II (from what I can tell at the moment).

    Ah ok, I wasn't sure if that was because RTW didn't work well on Vista, or if it was a problem with the coding. -M

    I played both of them 1.1 and now 1.2 on vista. if you exit and restart the game once 2/3 hours no ctd. I can even claim that I have less ctd than XP but I use alex in my opinion best stable exe for EB.

    I have played close to 100 hours of EB 1.2 with RTW.exe on Vista notebook (besides much more hours spent with EB on XP desktop) in sessions lasting from 1 to 6 hours and I have had not a single CTD.

    For me the decisive difference-making factor is to wait at least 15 seconds after each battle (before closing the Victory/Defeat screen).

    EB2 works fine even on Vista 64.

    I hope no "Usain Bolt Syndrome" with dual cored processors like rtw in kingdoms.exe.

    Well, they run too fast on my computer, so it sucks. Funny how they can even move at speeds sometimes. EB 1.1 works beautifully here and I have vista. I can't see the difference.
