Does LoL work?

Arris: According to this comment it works on Window Server 2008 R2 so I assume it will also work without any problems on the non-R2 Server version.

Hey, I receive a 504 Gateway Timeout error when I view this website. This sometimes means the host did not receive a response. I figured yuo may like to know. Regards Brian

Arris: Thanks for notifying, I’ll keep an eye on it.

I have a problem with lineage 2 on winserv 2008. It starts fine, it’s just that I don’t see the characters written on the buttons. Works fine though, on my dualboot winxp.

please send me a solution at lunatik__angel@hotmail.com !

Fate/Stay night, Fate/Hollow Ataraxia and Tsukihime (maybe, also Plus+Disk) are working like under Vista/7.

Age of Empires On-line works, but you need to run it as Administrator, other case it will show blank explorer.exe error. Just in case, i instaled all game fix’s except Xbox controllers.

Crysis and Crysis warhead both work, smoothly as well.
Team fortress 2 is functional and smooth,
The entire overlord series runs beautifully,
Minecraft is a dream to play,
and Audiosurf and Defense Grid: The Awakening work.

I received the “Operating System not supported” error when trying to install quake 3 onto win 2008 64 bit server on Intel Dual Xeon Server Board. Quake 3 does not have an msi so orca was not an option. Quake installed fine on Win 2008 32 bit version but not on 64 bit. I was able to fix the problem by right clicking the setup.exe….and in the properties….in “compatability”…i chose “run as windows xp service pack 2″. Everything installed fine. Hope this helps.

Arris: Thanks for your comment, I’m sure this will help people who want to play Quake 3 on Windows Server

Dark Void works

I’m currently using Windows Server 2008 R2 RC (haven’t gotten around to installing RTM version yet, although I have a key from DreamSpark ready to go). I’ve not had many problems so far, although DiRT doesn’t work properly for me, my specs are as follows:

* Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 @ 3.7Ghz
* Nvidia GTX 275
* 4GB RAM

I think you’ll agree it should work 100% fine. This game was working completely at max settings in Windows 7, but in this OS, it lags along ridiculously. You might want to add it to the non compatible list as it isn’t playable. I have been able to play plenty of other games with no lag and I do NOT have Hyper V installed. I’ve tried compatibility mode, but it still doesn’t want to work properly and no amount of changing settings up or down solves the issue. It even lags at the intro video. Obviously caused by a program issue, rather than a graphics related problem.

PS: I also posted this on the other games list. If anyone has a solution (ie, to stop the lag, as the game launches and runs fine apart from that) please do tell me.
