This game works on Vista 64 bit!

[templier]

I'm not having any technical problems as of the moment, but I would just like to let prospective buyers of Caesar IV that it *should* work on Vista 64 bit Home Premium, at least it does on my laptop (via "XP compatibility" and "run as administrator").

So far the game has only crashed once (when I clicked on the advisor tab mysteriously) but has been smooth so far. I've played through 3 of the tutorial levels already.

This is just a quick note to everyone curious about the Vista 64 bit version.

P.S Just make sure you install the DX 9c that comes with the game. At least I did so.

Yeah, I have Vista 64, but I play Crysis and some other DirectX 10 games so I'm not switching back and forth.

Thanks for sharing that information
Doozerstick I'm not sure that understand what you mean about switching back and forth if you mean between DX 9 and DX10 there is no switching. DX 9 just adds some files that weren't included in DX 10 that allows the game to run.

Well, since supposedly (and that's a big "supposedly, I understand) newer games like Crysis and such are supposed to run smoother and look better using DX 10. I'm too lazy to reinstall DX 9 and see if there's a difference. Either way, its only a matter of time before the games being released will start actually requiring DX 10...

Sorry I think you misunderstand what installing DX 9 over DX 10 means is does not mean you lose the DX 10 functions but rather add functions to DX 10. The mesh together once DX 9 is installed you won't be able to tell any difference in DX 10 games but DX 9 games will work too.

Hm, I did not know that. Thank you then.

Your more than welcome
