Has anyone played any games on Windows 7? I need to know how its doing with games. If it doesn't work with any games... I may need an OEM of vista.
The first game I want to play on Win7 is Crysis.

This cosmic dance of bursting decadence and withheld permissions, twists all our arms collectively, but if sweetness can win, and it can, then I'll still be here tomorrow to high-five you yesterday, my friend. Peace.
crysis wont work it uses securom and securom dosnt work in win7, since its a root kit and windows is all about anti root kit this time around
unless they patched it recently

The demo works but they probably don't have near the copy protection on it.
Yeah, it's definitely premature for Windows 7 especially with gaming. If you want to be on the bleeding edge then be prepared to bleed often!!

Or will it not even let you install? If so, copy all the files with another computer and transfer them over, run the install from the HDD.
Windows 7 + SSD:
Mode: AHCI, default Microsoft driver or latest Intel RST
Defrag: Off
Hibernation: Off (use Sleep mode, recommend a UPS)
Indexing: On (it only indexes a few locations, not your whole system unless you tell it to)
Page File: On (set to the minimum of 16MB if you have a large amount of RAM, disabling not recommended)
Prefetch: On
Superfetch: On (RAM is always faster than an SSD - use it)
System Restore: Off (with regular backups)
Browser Cache: RAM Only, Disk Cache Off (How to with Chrome)
Documents, Music, Pictures, Videos, Downloads to HDD (Public Libraries too, see above link about junctions)
UAC: On!
can't speak for crysis but had NO problems with any other games with win7 all latest e.g cod waw, mirrors edge, farcry2, FSX, COD4, GRID

I`m using windows 7 beta build 7000 64Bit,it played all my games/Apps.
Some problems occurred with Crysis on 64Bit,But it played nicely after switching the compatibility mode to Vista.
I can help you if you give me a list of specific games that you want to play.
I've just spent most of the weekend playing CoH:OF and the Battle of the Bulge Mod. I did BSOD twice (Stop: 0X00000124) but that could have just been the mod or even the custom map (4p_Thor Harbour)
alot of games that work under vista work under windows 7, unless they use punkbuster or as said aboive some securerom versions.
so far steam games work for me, seems a hit and mis for others one some games.

Whats vista compatibility mode? I'm really curious because I plain to install crysis, fear 2, and a few other games as well.
