I did a quick look through the forum but did not see a question asking if WitE is compatible with Windows 7? Has anyone been running it on Windows 7. I know that for some of the help files in PzC games that they produce spurious error messages.

Thanks.

I have been running tests on XP Pro, and Windows 7. Works like a champ on 7 with 4 gigs.

I've been testing with XP and only 768mb of ram and it plays fine. The AI's move takes some time (30 min), but I can live with it until I convince the wife of the need for more ram...lol...

Same on one of my test laptops its running XP Pro with 1 Gig, the AI is very slow, on a 4 gig W7 machine the AI is done in like 5 minutes for the Axis AI and if the Soviet AI is crushing a lot of nasty Germans in 43/44 then it make take 10...

2 gigs should be the enough minimum. The game itself is using up to 600M right now. Having just 1G can cause disk swapping.

Happiness is not a function of the RAM, Jon

I can only assume that if it works well with Win7, it will function with Vista x64. Oh, man... this game is at the very, very top of my wishlist. Come on, late summer!

Ideally, what RAM, processor, etc. do you recommend running for optimal gaming with War in the East?
