Windows 7 + Bossing?

So I'm FINALLY getting a new laptop this week and I'm getting a laptop with Windows 7 but I really want to know. Are there any issues with Windows 7 and bossing on Maple? Like how Vista users DC on Zak's third body, which I already do now. >_>

The issues from Windows Vista are still present in Windows 7.

Think of 7 as vista with a lighter feel.

Most bugs in vista exist in 7. (in terms of maple) Apparently korea is completely changing their code so it runs best on vista/7 in the summer though, so i wouldn't worry about it too much.

I thought Service Pack 1 for Vista fixed the Zakum glitch error, though.

I zak'd fine with my desktop. Laptops are usually a lot more laggy for me, so i'd expect a DC with bossing.

I don't know how Balrog PQ compares to other bosses, but I got slight lag on Windows 7 there. No DCs at all.

Yeah... I keep running into the disconnecting problem on Windows 7 and I can't even dual boot, since HP doesn't release XP drivers for my laptop. >_>


To fix the disconnect problem (not really a fix), change your graphics settings EVERY SINGLE TIME a part of a boss dies. You might want to change it twice. From lowest to highest back to lowest.

At Horntail I did :

Left head :
Change graphics settings to high
-head spawns-
change graphics settings to low
-head dies-
change graphics settings to high
-enter next room-
set graphics settings to low then high
-right head spawns-
set graphics settings to low
-head dies-
set graphics settings to high

-enter main room-
set graphics to low then high
-Horntail body spawns-
set graphics to low
-Feet Die-
Set graphics to high and then low
-tail dies-
set graphics settings to high and low
-wings die-
set graphics settings to high and low


so on and so forth. I managed to get through an entire HT run that way on Windows 7. It's annoying to keep doing it, but it's worth it.

IMO it's nothing wrong with Windows 7. Seems that most cases where the DC happens at bosses, the computer has a Nvidia graphics card. I D/C on my home computer (Nvidia), and I boss without a problem at work (ATI). Both computers are running windows 7 x64.

I have a ATI HD 4870 on my home computer and I still disconnect when using Windows 7 x64.

So I think it depends on the ATI card.
