Windows 7 Announcement

If you all don't know or have been wondering, Will Windows 7 run Tribes 2? I just tested it, Tribes 2 WILL run on Windows 7, but the future release of Windows 8 in 2012, it is told that it will not run.

  • Thus the end of the world in 2012.
  • I got windows 7 beta/RC last February or so and I got windows 7 Prof. from my university last August.

    I have yet to run into a single compatibility issue with XP programs. :D

    Edit:
    Info on windows 8 seems to be sketchy to say the least. :|

    Edit_2:
    I looked up the dates on my gmail.
  • It probably won't run on Windows 8 because 8's going to be in 128-bit.
  • So T2 is good for some four more years.
    That's a very respectable life time for any game!
  • Watch. Thyth will work Majicke.

    Especially since T2 was released in 2001!

    11 years is fantastic.

  • if win 7 does this unique thing where it groups 16 to 32 bit programs in one folder and treats them specially, then it probably will run without a hitch, however, i ran t2 with win7 the one time, lemme tell you, it gets pissed off very easily for some reason
  • T2 works fine on Windows 7. I'm doing it right now.
  • im guessing it might be the rig im using along side it

  • If Tribes 2 doesn't work on Windows 8, you could always run it on an older OS in a virtual machine.

    Agreed. All Microsoft OS's from now on will probably come with some sort of VM suite. :)
  • Or you can download free ones like VirtualBox or VMware Player

    Agreed completely. (I don't think the window's VM is the best)

    Most people don't know what to do if it doesn't come with Windows though. :p
    (or I guess the windows VM is a DL)

    Edit:
    lol, I seriously need to get some sleep/.
  • The VM used in Windows 7 for Windows XP mode is downloadable somewhere, but the other VM programs are better.
