Hi everybody!

I'm trying all games\sim\RTS that I have on my workstation with Windows Server 2008 R2.

Here is a list (I will update during these days).

Legend: Works - Works with workarounds - Doesn't work

Operation Flashpoint CWC/Resistance - 1.96 update
ArmA: Armed Assault - 1.16 Beta Note: Patch 1.16 is important for 4GB+ and ATI users
Armed Assault 2
Theatre of War 1.081
Steel Fury: Kharkov 1942
Medieval Total War 1 / Viking Invasion
Stalker Clear Sky Note: Remember to install the last patch
WWII Battle Tanks: T-34 vs Tiger Note: Too many problems (sound etc etc)...And, the software house that made this game went bankrupt...so no updates.
Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl
Silent Hunter III
Rome Total War - Barbarian Invasion - Alexander Note: There's no problem during installation. With Xp x64 / Server 2003 x64 and x86 you had to save cd image and then install. With Server 2008 R2 no problem.
rFactor 1.255
Red Orchestra OstFront 41-45
Street Fighter IV - Set Compatibility to "Windows XP SP3" (source)
Team Fortress Classic (source)
Team Fortress 2(source)
Far Cry 2 (source)

Monopoly by Parker Brothers
Battlefield 2 (And all expantions ofc)
Battlefield 2142 : Northern Strike

It would be preferred if you could please follow this template so it is less searching (and errors) for game websites, etc.

I'd just like to say that Crysis 32-bit works fine.

I couldn't test 64-bit because, well, it's a long story why, but I have to install it from an external hard drive and have no actual DVD for the game, so I have to use a no-cd patch and as far as I know, there are none for 64-bit.

Note: I in no way pirated the game. I paid the full $50 when it came out.
