I am about to Order this game online and would like to know if this game runs with Vista.

F4-AF will run under Vista, but there is currently a transparency issue with ATI drivers and Vista.

We are currently in process of testing patch 1.13 which will fix this issue.

You can read some info here on it

It'd doesn't work with me I just bought a neew laptop with windos vista and ATI HD Radeon VGA card. I tried many many times but with no hope. every time I try to open the game I get a black screen with the initial sound. I've tried patch 1013 but it doesn't work either I don't know why, the black screen with the sound again. I had to install it back on my old laptop which doesn't have numeric pad which is very annoying for me.

So plz if you can hep I be thankfull.

:no: It doesn't work at all every time I try to open it I get a black screen with the background sound No more. if u'd like to try it yourself my laptop is toshiba p300 with Ati HD radeon, core 2 duo 2.3, 4G RAM, 400GB, vista. it worked with me on my old laptop so there is nothing wrong with the software!!!!

Open up the intro movies in media player, when the FFDSHOW codecs load up double click on the vid codecs, into the options and added add the video files to the ffdshow exception list, apply and close, close media player then launch the game.

Look for the red and blue boxes appear next to your system clock and double click the video one, its the red one i think. I've just read again that you have Vista, so it might be different for you.

I'm pretty sure the only way around it is to add those falcon intro vids to the codec exception list.
