Anyone tried running this in Vista? It isn't officially supported but I know on the Steam community forums that some have had success on Vista, and even XP, using DirectX9.

So, just wondering if anyone has tried the GOG version on Vista (or XP even) and whether it works okay or not.

I bought this (GOG Version) anyway since sometime soon I plan on building a windows 7 rig,

Right now I'm running windows XP SP3 and while I have only played for about an hour, I haven't encountered any problems so far. from what I've read the lack of XP/Vista support is from the developer end rather than any technical requirement, they probably don't have the manpower to provide tech support for 4 different OS's.

Game runs smooth enough with default settings on my current setup, which is a little low end by today's standards:

Pentium 4d dual core 3.0ghz (You read right, not a core 2 system!)
2 gb ram
Nvidia gts450

I hope this information helps you

Sounds good. My system is a little better than that, but is still a little over 5 years old now.

Core 2 Duo E8500 @ 3.16GHz
4GB DDR2 RAM
XFX Nvidia GTX260 Black Edition 896MB (Core 216)
Vista Ultimate x64

So I would hope to be able to run it smoothly too.


I could do with a new build PC too, but probably won't be getting one just yet.

In theory if it runs on 7 it should also run on Vista, does just fine on mine at max settings.

Glad I could help.

I just purchased this yesterday during the big summer sale, and it seems to run okay on my Vista 64.

I say "okay" and not "great" because it seems to have a big memory leak. When I've played it awhile and then quit, my Task Manager memory usage stays up over 6GB, when normally it hovers around 2GB (of 8GB total RAM). I have to reboot to get it back to normal.

Rather than reboot, take a look in the Task Manager at the processes and see which ones are using all your RAM. If it is clearly a process related to Sir, You Are Being Hunted, then just end that process. That would a lot quicker than rebooting. It would also be good to see if it is indeed the game doing it and what the process name is.

I'm running Vista 32 runs perfectly on Max settings and depending on the complexity of the landscape ranges between 45 and 60 fps.
I've never seen a memory leak problem mentioned on Steam or the Big Robot forums if you're certain it is being caused by SYBH then report it on the bug section in the Big Robot forum the Devs are very active there, they or members of the community will help you.

Maybe it was a fluke. It only occurred once; but that also happened to be on my first play.

I'll likely have some time later today to play it some more - and will see if I can keep a better eye on it; and if it does I'll try to gain more detail about it and perhaps check those forums and maybe post there about it.

Thanks
