ftg87 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 There are no details at all currently regarding specifications for 09, SI can't even say for sure whether it will be on DVD or CD, so you will have to wait a little while for whether 09 will work on your PC As for 08, I personally have no idea, sorry, I'm sure someone else does, IIRC there is a thread about somewhere where this is mentioned, can't for the life of me remember where or what it was about though, try a quick search, see what comes up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McMaster#28 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 FM08 works fine on Vista64 (I'm running it now) so I'm guessing FM09 will too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Criztian12 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I can't imagine a single reason why it wouldn't. This is not the most complex game out there, I mean I love it to death, but who are we kidding, the game is basically an over glorified spreadsheet calculator in a pretty box. And SI is by no means a tiny company, so they'd have no excuse to release a game incompatible with an almost 2 year old operating system that is slowly becoming the standard. I could have seen this being an issue with 2007, simply because it was unlikely they would have been able to test it pre release, but with 2009 I would say I'm 99.99% certain it will work fine.

laurencefishbone Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Yep can confirm that FM 08 works perfectly with Vista64. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rinso Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 seeing as 08 is compatible with vista64, i hardly see them going backwards and making 09 so it isnt... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveRH Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Question for the people using it? Does it take advantage of the 64 bit mode, or do you run in 32 bit? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerion Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Pretty much every game runs on Vista64, though only a few exceptions run in 64bit mode atm. I assume FM2009 will simply be running in 32bit like most games. Main reason to choose for Vista64 at this time would be if you want 4GB ram or more, or if you want to keep that option open, as 32bit operating systems can't handle these amount properly and XP64 (from my experience) isn't as stable as Vista64 is. As far as performance goes, on a modern mid/high range PC there is no noticable difference between running 32bit games on Vista32 or Vista64. I can't say much about older or low-end machines, as I have no experience with these in combination with Vista. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveRH Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Thanks. Sorry, my question was really unclear - as I was actually talking about FM in particular. Thanks again for the response though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
