How well does LOTRO run on Vista?
Comments
Nice computer. I run LOTRO just fine using Vista Ultimate x64. Since the last few patches it has become pretty stable for me in vista.

Promote what you love instead of bashing what you hate.
I have been running the game in Vista since beta 2. It works fine. I had a few minor, minor issues with the client disconnecting but it has been a long time since even that has happened.
yea i dont get why so MANY people are critical about vista and gaming.. iv been gaming on vista since it got released, and iv have yet to have problems with it. it is nice, stable, and frankly some games run better on vista than xp for my pc (used to have xp).

I am in another beta I have to run in winXP compat mode. It runs fine that way but it not ideal.
I am curious where you bought this new computer and why they sold it to you with Vista on it and a video card that doesn't support DX10 though.
I run Vista and LOTRO at max graphics settings with no problems at all. I have 3 GB of RAM and a 8800 gtx 640 mb card. Nvidia released a beta version of the vista drivers this week.

thanks guys. I've had a weird FPS issue on WoW since I've had vista...but I don't play it much anymore and just got LOTRO. : )
I am going to be getting a new graphic card this winter possibly...I don't know yet though as mine is good and done well for me thus far.
Worked great for me, as did Wow, CoX and now SWG.
Tho I did get an occasional blindingly white flash of light when I clicked on certain things, like a new skill at the trainer. Didn't bother me enough to diagnose it though.
Wonder if anyone knows what estrus means...

Not me :P
Played the game on Vista, Pro, and xp. The xp is on an amd and few probs, the pro is on a duel core p4 3.4 and more probs than the amd, vista is on a p4 3.0 and had less probs than the other 2 machines. Im speaking of lag and glitches. Graphics card on the 3.4 is an 8600 gts, if I remember, and both other machines run the 7300 gs. The vista does have 2 gigs of ram and is actully a e- machine with 350 watt ps. Its the crappier of the three supposedly but runs LOTROL much beter. Maybe its because I upgraded it myself, but doubtful as Im pretty dumb bout puters.
oh I did remove the pation on hard drive , also , on the machine with vista , sry for dbl post, but taking the partion out helped all around performance. Have no idea why.
No issues with Vista so far. LOTRO has been running great in windowed mode, Browser up on the other monitor with the dynamic map and LOTRO database. i havnt had an issue with Vista period, but then again I built my own rig with high end hardware.
