Windows Vista was welcomed by many PC gamers as it was made specially for providing a good graphical interface. But just like any other Microsoft product, it had some issues, especially regarding the virtual memory with some games. GamesIndustry.biz spoke to Microsoft, who confirmed that the forthcoming Vista update would address these problems.
A spokesperson from Microsoft said to GamesIndustry.biz, “As developers harness the new graphics capabilities in Windows Vista, some changes in how Windows Vista manages video memory have resulted in sporadic issues in graphically taxing games with high-end video cards. Working closely with our hardware partners, we have developed a fix which is currently available online. The current plan is that it will include the update which addresses the potential virtual memory issues.”
Last week, Microsoft had come out with a hotfix for Vista. The hotfix is basically an update that is undergoing testing but is not officially recommended unless a user is severely affected. However, the Microsoft spokesperson mentioned that they are planning to deliver the Vista SP1 by the first quarter of 2008.
It seems that PC gamers who use Vista will have to wait for a long time to get the update!
