According to ComputerWorld, CounterStrike, Half-Life 2, Doom 3 and F.E.A.R are all fragged when punters try to play them on Vista.
Quoting gaming bulletin boards, ComputerWorld noted that the gamers complain that frame rates have dropped down the lav since they upgraded.
Being blamed are flaky software drivers, Vista's complexity, and a shortage of video cards which can handle DirectX 10.
Vole promised that Vista would be backwards-compatible with XP's graphic engine, DirectX 9, and that it will support existing games. Clearly it was not.
Chris Donahue, manager of Microsoft's Games for Windows group, says his outfit has tested 1,000 popular games from the past five years. Most work well with Vista, he said. He didn't say which ones didn't. µ
