Me and my friends are running dual boot with Windows 7, the beta. But hedgewars DOESN'T render properly Shocking, the main menu works but in game you only get like 3 fps and half the screen is white Annoyed, but works perfectly on vista on the same machine. This made us very sad Sad Smiley. We can't play lan, when we have 7 up, and my friend only runs windows 7. Plus my windows vista o/s just stuffed up so I can't play hedgewars unless I reinstall vista and I like your game to much. Plz help. I wanna play hedgewars!!!!!! Aghh

(Please don't tell me to reinstall vista it takes days before it is up and running again, with updates and drivers and stuff)

Ha, I fixed it!

I went to install the drivers and nothing happened because ATI's driver installation package sucks.

So I downloaded, used the self extraction it comes with, and let Windows 7 search for the new drivers for my video card through device manager. It found them, installed them and the game works perfectly.

Once again Windows 7 proves that it is better than Vista. The first microsoft o/s that I have searched for something and actually found what I want

Thanks for the driver idea unCORr!
