Hotfix available for Windows Vista game crashes |
Ó
Microsoft has just announced a "hotfix" that addresses some issues with games running on the Vista OS. Some games demand a lot of available virtual memory to maximize the new Vista capabilities but sometimes the 2GB limit is exceeded and this causes the PC to crash.
The hotfix has already been published and is available online but is still subject to more testing and development so you might want to hold off on downloading it until the guys at Microsoft have fully tested it. It's still not sure whether or not the update will be shipped along with the first Vista Service Pack.
The Vista SP1 is slated for early 2008 but the update will first be tested in a control group. Microsoft says that "the current plan is that it will include the update which addresses the potential virtual memory issues."
The spokesperson from Microsoft also said, "We will collect customer feedback from our upcoming beta process before setting a final date. Quality is our most important factor when determining availability."
