Vista vs. XP

[f lee]

Which one would be better for playing FFR? I heard from some that Vista is pretty bad, but I just want to know how playing on a Vista is bad. I don't want too much computer talk, I really just want to know how it'll effect my game. We have an XP that needs to be repaired. When that's done, would that be a better choice than the Vista?

If your pc is kind of low end e.g kind of old then vista will probably make your pc slow which
could in turn affect your ffr performance. I would stick with xp but that is my opinion.

It has messed up graphics.

During game play, the arrows appear to be slow and then half way it starts rushing.

I haven't really noticed that, but if that's true, then it's probably why I can't AAA anything... so are the graphics the only downside to Vista?

Vista is much more demanding on your PC and you'd require at least 2GB of RAM to run your PC properly. It is still accompanied by bugs and many of the older technologies no longer work on Vista. That being said, XP is less demanding on your PC. I'm not saying Vista wont run FFR properly, but your chances are much better if you go with XP.

XP is better for playing FFR than Vista. Vista has too much lag.

Re: Vista vs. XP

What is happening is Microsoft is taking the necessary actions to try and completely wipe out XP and monopolize with Vista. Buying XP copies off stores and forcing them to sell Built PCs with Vista installed on it, for example. I'm not sure if it's still available, but if you ordered a computer off of Dell you could have the option of XP or Vista.

But all of this is off this guy's topic. As of now I'm pretty sure more people have sent in complaints about Vista causing them lag issues or flash errors,etc than problems directly related to XP(see Doug31 and freakysnots' entries for examples). Also, he never posted his comp specs so that could be a good idea because he might need to upgrade his machine if he goes with Vista(so that other non FFR related activities go smoothly).

Re: Vista vs. XP

XP will run Flash better on mostly all computers. Even with a high-end PC, on Vista with FireFox you'd still notice a slight slow-down.
With XP, however, you have very good performance.

Re: Vista vs. XP

Regardless of computer specs, Vista will most likely noticeably lag FFR to a point that it hinders gameplay.
