I'll clearly need to think through the strategy very carefully.

DOOMEdit And Vista

#13470 posted by Kinn on 2008/02/01 11:17:56

anyone tried using DOOMEdit with windows Vista? Does it work ok, any problems etc?

I just ordered a new laptop with Vista and now I'm getting paranoid that I'm going to have problems.

Just be sure and diable the Aero color scheme with Vista, it tends to br0k the editor display good.

Yeah, I suspected that this horrible Aero thing could well bollocks things up.

To be honest when the system arrives I'm probably gonna reformat and do a clean install of XP, assuming I can get hold of a copy, not just for the fact that XP doesn't hog an insane amount of resources compared to Vista, but also to get rid of all the garbage that Dell will no doubt have pre-installed on the machine.

Aye...

MY COMPUTER ARRIVES TOMORROW OR WED....

Cant stand it!!!

Any yeah, just to say I got mine with XP installed. Why half your memory with Vista!!???!?! Why would anybody want to do that to a perfectly good computer? Why is it everytime computer technology gets faster, Windows gets more self indulgent on your machine, and does pretty much what it has been doing right from day one??!!?

#13482 posted by JneeraZ on 2008/02/04 11:26:03

That's why god invented Apple and OSX. :P

I Know...

#13483 posted by RickyT33 on 2008/02/04 12:18:49

...brings us to the age old debate of:

"I do actually want to play games such as Quake 4 and Doom 3, as well as other new titles on my PC when I get it, so that kinda rules OSX out from the start..."

I Thought Id Made Mac Versions Of All Their Games

#13484 posted by czg on 2008/02/04 12:26:17

Well

#13485 posted by RickyT33 on 2008/02/04 12:54:51

according to the ID/D3 website, System Requirements lists only Windows 200/XP....

Big surprise, huh?

#13486 posted by JneeraZ on 2008/02/04 13:00:03

I know, I was being a smart ass. Sorry.

Yes, if you want to game on your PC then a Mac is probably not for you. I do pretty much all of my gaming on my consoles (except for Quake).

But I believe czg is correct in this particular case. Hell, wasn't Doom3 originally demoed on a Mac at MacWorld?

#13487 posted by JPL on 2008/02/04 13:06:34

I don't know, but I checked onto Id website, and Mac is not mentioned even in the requirements section... maybe not as up to date as it should ?

Mac versions are around. However, not ALL games come to Mac so if you want your PC to be your primary gaming platform you're better off sticking to a Windows box.

Hah! Well Cuss Mah Snobbery!!

#13489 posted by RickyT33 on 2008/02/04 13:47:00

I'll never complain about the speed of Vista again!

Still, thinking about it, if Mac games are so poorly advertised then its no wander that the ignorant masses such as myself still think that Macs are for n00bs!

Weird analogy: A friend of mine comes into a Spanish restaurant with a group of people and says when ordering the food that she's allergic to GARLIC (a mac user);
This limits her to, hmmm, NOTHING from the menu, the chef has to cook her a plain, un-seasoned chicken breast fillet!! (true story, crap analogy)

There Was An Interview With Gabe Newell Or Someone Somewhere

#13490 posted by czg on 2008/02/04 13:55:07

Where they said Valve had tried to approach Apple with some suggestions on how to make the mac a better development platform for games, but the impression they got was that Apple just didn't care very much about gaming.

I know that in Germany, some customer defense organization, in order piss off Microsoft (cause of Vista's poor performances with standard PC) adviced people to systematically ask to re-install XP instead of Vista.

Also, in France, a free XP CD is provided with each new PC with Vista already installed...

And in my company, after some discussions with ITs, we are far away to switch to Vista...

Except the nice visual effects of Vista, what are the benefits to install it compared to XP ? Nothing ! It consumes more memory, needs more performances, for not a significant result.. so.. fuck Vista !

Yeah

#13492 posted by ijed on 2008/02/04 14:02:51

But vista is a prerequisite if you have anything at all to do with microsoft, including xbox. If you don't support it then you fail approval.

It's a shitty operating system but microsoft have allot of money, so they'll keep pushing it.
