Grid and Civ IV with all expansion packs works fine too. Also with Hyper-V installed! On Server 2008 with Hyper-V installed there are massive problems with graphics performance which I didn't have on R2 yet.

Friend is playing Aion on his Server 2008 R2 without problems, so you can add "Aion" to the list.

How did you get fable working?! I tried everything and no go! Even tried direct off the disc, made a virtual dvd drive for it, installed with compat. modes, disabled vistual themes, tried installing as compat mode... nothing ever worked. it would install ok but would not load the game. let me know how you got it working so I can get my disc back from my brother whom I let use since I gave up on getting it working.

I didn't do anything special to it, it just installed and worked right out of the box.

How far did you get when loading the game? Did you see the intro videos? Did you get an error or something?

RemixedCat, are you on R2 because your signature says Windows Server 2008 x64 SP2? And does your computer meet the criteria for the game (eg: can you run it on a different OS on the same hardware?)

If R2 lets you get the Error details, could you post them? I know on XP if it said "Game.exe has close unexpectedly...would you like to send an error report [Send Report] [Don't Send] [View Details]" and if you click view details and maybe "To see what this report contains, click here." or something it may tell you. Not sure if it is in Vista/7 and Server R1/R2.
