Do you think Beyond the Sword will have the same problems Civ IV and Warlords have with Vista.

It seems that BTS is part of "Games for Windows" brand so I guess they now have better Vista support (though I never had any problems with Civ4 and Vista...).

If its games for windows it'd have to be vista compliant.

Although I ain't holding my breathe.

I have not had a problem with civ4 / warlords and Vista.
even when running mods and playing multiplayer.
