Subject: Wiz8 runs on Vista @ 1920x1200 (!)
On a lark, I downloaded the Wiz8 demo and installed it on my new Vista machine (Home Premium 32-bit, 8800GT, 4GB RAM, Core Duo 6750. Amazingly enough I got it running with very little trouble.
It was dying initially, but I switch the shortcut to "XP (SP2)" Compatibility mode, and it seems to run flawlessly, sound and graphics all ok on the first shot, everything at proper speed, etc.
It ran 3DSetup, and I chose my max res. 1920x1200x32, which I was sure it would gag on, and the default Miles 2D Pos sound option, since I had no idea which of those to try, and it was the default. Amazingly enough, it ran perfectly, it's stretching things to widescreen, sound & voices work... Look totally playable. Pretty nice job on the tech-end, Drek!
