STILL having Vista problems

Though I have not tried it personally, I am assured that it works. though if the game is not Vista Compatible (and there are a few) even this workaround will not help.


- First of all you will need an Administrator Account (without this you can't do anything) from the User Account Control system (UAC)

- Download and install FO

- go to the Installation folder

- for every program file (those that end in .exe), right click on it and do properties>compatibility>launch the program as administrator in Windows XP compatibility mode
(it should be something like that - I'm translating from a French forum here)

This infact removes the virtualisation of the program (something made for Vista that is supposed to make programs more stable - not good if the original program wasn't designed for it)


if you have the "Ultimate" version of Vista then apparently the virtualisation is automatic. but you will have to completley disactivate the UAC for this to work.

Now if you do have any questions then please ask.

we have two bugs, one in the installer which was my fault, a very dump programming fault in mp3 decoding where vista seems to be more sensitive as windows xp was.
and a second bug i am not sure yet about if its me or vista causing this i/o file error.

i fixed the installer fix in the final and again i reprogrammed the fleet operations loader from scratch for the final version. the new loader is not only UAC compatible but makes Armada UAC compatible too. compared to the 3pr loader the new loader is much more advanced and cleaner.

Excellent news!

So, DOCa, any news or plans on a 3.1PR for us Vista users?  Or are we stuck drooling over screenshots and XP-user reviews...
