Questions about Compatibility (Vista Ultimate 64-bit)
-
I’m going to be getting a new laptop from my dad (a new laptop for me; it’s about 4 months old for him), and I want to ensure that before I try installing Freelancer, that it will work.
The Laptop (appropriately named the Death Star… thing weigh a huge amount) is running on the 64-bit version of Windows Vista Ultimate. I know about the Vista issues, and how to circumvent them. I want to ensure, however, that Freelancer will run in a 64-bit environment. Will it?

Not sure about. At least you should keep an eye at the antivirus software, use avira antivir ^^

Running Freelancer now in Vista Home 64. It runs just fine, well after you get over the AV and IPv6 hurdles.
As for the AV hurdle I’ve tested both Avast and AVG anti-virus programs and both can work fine as of a few weeks ago. AVG’s Link Scanner caused problems as did Avast’s Network Shield, but those components need not be installed. I’ve also heard that AdAware’s Ad-Watch scanner should also be avoided, but I’ve never used that program myself.
I can’t say what needs to be run as admin because one of the first things I did with Vista was to turn off UAC.
