Windows 7
Windows 7
So I brought this with an impulse on steam on windows 7 RC. It doesn't seem to work. I'm guessing its not supported yet but I kinda wrongly assumed if it works on vista it will work on 7. Or is it just me? I see a short logo loading screen then it crashes.
Re: Windows 7
I haven't run into any issues myself, using Windows 7 Ultimate RC x64. I've also seen some posts regarding sound issues in Windows 7, but again, no issues here on either my X-Fi XtremeMusic sound card or the onboard Realtek HDA audio chipset.

Re: Windows 7
Just thought I'd register to give my support for this game - I did purchase it.
Running with a Radeon 4850 by XFX, Catalyst driver version 9.7, and Windows 7 RC x64... I have no issues either. Also tried in the same OS on a system with crummy GMA950 Intel graphics and despite a diminished frame rate, it's still playable and stable.
One of the most pleasantly bug-free experiences I've had, I must say. Some of the later orbit levels where you're REALLY small are bloody annoying though, and take far too long!

Re: Windows 7
I too am having problems with windows 7, I tried a number of compatiblity modes. What i am experiencing is that the game starts, i get the blue/green screen with the ameba thingy. at the bottom it says "loading sounds..." and then nothing happes. it just hangs.

Re: Windows 7
Running fine on my Win7 Enterprise install on an IBM T60. Lots of drivers are probably lagging for Win7 though.
Re: Windows 7
I am having the same problem. It starts up, shows me the backdrop and 'loading sounds' but then really nothing. If it wait long (10+ mins), then some sound starts and i can see the title fading in realllllly slowly.
Tried updating OpenAL. Updated Catalyst to 9.8
Win 7 x32 , Radeon X1600 , 1.5G ram, steam

Re: Windows 7
@ seedy, tyb, qworn: Can you have a look at the Osmos.log (in the Osmos directory in your Documents folder) to see if anything is reported there? Also, please have a look at the FAQ and try out the steps described there -- any luck?
Thanks!
Dave

Re: Windows 7

Re: Windows 7
I was having no luck with the official ATI driver.
I tried out this modified driver and it's working fine now
