Before I go and download my legal copy just checking if anyone is running Renegade or any other odd games/programs like it with Windows 7 RTM. Any issues with other software or hardware?

Renegade runs fine on the RTM (7600 ultimate), I've not come across anything that won't run with a little bit of tweaking tbh

If we had to ban all who ever cheated or ever created a cheat (obj3cts and such) then I don't think there would be many members left here (sad fact).

Run it as admin mode and vsync option works as you would expect.

Don't disabled UAC, use TweakUAC to put it in silent mode.

You know that the second lowest UAC setting in W7 makes it nearly not bother you anymore?

@Weiner:
W7 powersavings are fine, it's just some hardware/drivers which have an iffy ACPI implementation, which when those functions are called (like W7 does) it can to unexoected things, which usually end in crashes.

As soon as i turned it off i can't check the 'Run as Admin' checkbox of any file anymore. Also renegade remembers my settings without having it running in Admin mode when i turned off UAC.

So I ended up installing and resetting myself up on my desktop with windows 7. Enjoyed it so much I installed it on my laptop as well Smile

Interesting thing to note, upon initially trying out Renegade ( exact files I had running on my vista previously ) I kept getting the initial popup from shaders.dll saying it's not compatible with directx.

The source code in shaders.dll was the call to BOOL TryLoadD3DX();

So naturally I figure alright well in that case I'll just comment out that function call anyways. So I installed visual studio, downloaded the directx SDK.. then tried renegade again. No problems. I didn't even need to recompile my DLL with the code commented out.

So Saberhawk I THINK

BOOL test = D3DXCheckVersion(D3D_SDK_VERSION, D3DX_SDK_VERSION);

Returns false on windows 7 due to dx10 if the directx SDK is not installed. You would know more about this then I though, but something to keep in mind for TT






Or i just ran into some weird ass bug Smile

Oh wait, I forgot when I used to run Vista without UAC, I just disabled the prompts. UAC was still on. My bad. Razz

Actually its because 3.4.4 uses a newer version of DX9 than the one included with DX10 on Windows 7. Just run the DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer and it will add all the required dll files to run 3.4.4, or use the 3.4.4 installer.

It's saying you don't have the version of D3DX matching the SDK version that shaders.dll was compiled with installed. It's not a bug. If you built shaders.dll with the same SDK version as the "shipping" builds of 3.4.4 and had previously used the scripts 3.4.4 installer, that message would never occur.
