It's official. Korea is now the coolest country in the world. They have super small computers that can play DF, and the ability to annihilate anyone in starcraft.

[smjjames]

Also, I've heard that DF has a few problems with Windows 7, or is that just with the OpenGL stuff that Baughn is doing?

I just downgraded to XP this week. It's so much better. My computer came with Vista, and I put up with it for a long time because it was so much faster than my old one, despite how much memory and processing power the OS hogged. I haven't played DF on it yet (saving myself for the new version), but the performance of everything else I've tried has improved significantly.

It isn't completely unplayable without keypad, now wassit?
If is is, that explains why I haven't played on my netbook since I resolved the resolution problem better than me being too hardworking to get distracted by DF.

lol imagine reading the forum in letters 2 mm high! (rather: >< squint)

That can not be good for your eyes.

I can't focus on things more than about two feet from my face, so a small screen up close actually reduces my eye strain XD

It's a ridiculous 1024x600px btw. Amazingly crystal-clear.

Microsoft is also no longer supporting Vista and XP for free.

What do you mean?

I have Windows 7. On my old PC that had XP, regular DF was faster than the d#. When I started using this new one ith 7, regular was slower, and d# faster. Figured that was because of the different processors or graphics cards, or something.

I'm talking about upgrading to Windows 7, not downgrading.

@Monkeyfetus: My uncle dennis said that you have to pay if you want suppourt for XP or Vista.

Edit: The @ was in response to a different post, heh. Kept getting the warning a post has been made while you were typing thing as well.

i am running DF on 7, works beautifully, at least compared to Vista.

although getting the graphics to work was weird. i had other games running well, and then i had to get another graphics driver again, and then it did. i don't know.

What?! How the heck does anything that small possess almost the same resolution as my full-size laptop?!

Df has been getting fatal errors consistently after I updated from Vista to 7. Kind of a bummer.

[smjjames]

Really? I'll try the upgrade out though, my computer has been acting wierd today and I think I'm convinced to upgrade to Windows 7.

Strange. That has nothing to do with either Windows 7 or DF I imagine. Must be your install or some other mysterious thing.

Anywho, Windows 7 runs DF perfectly on my little old laptop. Indeed, I don't notice that much of a difference (maybe 4-5 FPS on a mature fortress) between my laptop and my desktop running a stripped down version of XP.

[smjjames]

Theres many reasons besides DF running better on Windows 7 to upgrade to it from Vista.

Anyways, thats what I kind of thought, that it was the computer rather than Windows 7.

This is an artifact netbook. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. It is made of pink plastic and encircled with bands of chrome. On the item is an image of Intel Atom processor.
