So. :x I have a question.

The SOS website says that Direct X 9.0 is required to run the game. I believe that Fiesta says the same thing. I currently have Direct X 10 installed on my computer. Fiesta works good so I'm assuming that SOS would work as well but. :x Am I missing out on something by not having 9 installed? Or is it completely compatible and I'm really just one step ahead of the game?

If the website said "9.0 and up" I might be a little less paranoid. P:

Direct X 10 can still play Direct X 9 games.

I'd be more worried about the game not being compatible with Vista, though.

Okay. >3 That's exactly what I wanted to know. -wiggles-

I'm gonna hope that it is, since that's what I'm running. However Fiesta runs fine on it so I'm going to hope that SOS, which is made later, would be too?

The only thing I'd be concerned about as far as Vista goes is that computers running it are using more memory for the OS then those running XP and stuff like that. >> But since the recommended memory is only 500mb and not 1gb, I think there shouldn't be too much of a problem.

And if nothing else, Vista has a lovely backwards compatibility feature! 8D
