Ok, this isn't a question but I thought i'd share my experience of playing Freelancer on Windows Vista.

For the most part it works without any problems.

However, I encountered a few issues:

Random crashes/bugs:

Once, the mouse stopped responding I could alt-tab out and the mouse worked in windows. the keyboard worked in FL, the game was still running but the mouse just wouldn't respond.

A couple of times, half of my ship has gone invisible, it just disappears, no other problem the game plays fine but half the ship is missing when looking at it from certain angles (including the default one)

Also, the game seems to crash to the desktop sometimes when coming out of a tradelane. This mostly happens when the tradelane is disrupted.

Running an AMD 32 bit CPU+ with a Radeon 9800 pro.

However, by setting freelancer.exe to XP SP2 compatible, all these problems seem to have gone away.

I haven't tried multiplayer or any mods.

Anyway. I thought a thread where we can discuss running FL on vista would be useful
