I was installing PS on my brothers PC this morning and when I went to launch the game it told me I needed Windows XP or better, after my laughter subsided that even PS knew XP was better than Vista I went to change it and found that the compatibility mode was pre-set to Win98.
That on first install they may have to change the compatibility mode it's set to.
Right-Click on the planetside launcher
Click Properties
Go to the compatibility mode and untick the box. |
I used Vista by choice. I never once had any problems with it. However, that doesn't change the fact that a lot of people experience issues with Vista so thanks for the update and possible work-around.
