Welp I decided to see how the FoF community is doing and apparently to my smug surprise, they have made some developments!

So I was like "Oh shit, let me mack on this sweet FoF stuff for a few days and forget all about it after that," but alas FoF has to be the only way that W7 has failed me thus far.

For fuck sake right?

Well a little googling has told me that its a problem with my cards drivers having trouble with openGL or something along those lines.

A fella on another forum

On my machine I could play FoFiX on medium settings and get ~30 FPS on XP. I have now installed windows 7 and its completely unplayable (you click to go down in the menu and it takes about 5 seconds for the election to change). Just wondering if there was a fix or if it was just Windows 7. (My drivers are all up to date)

Btw I have tried Audiosurf on both XP and 7 and notice no difference in performance.
had the same problem as me so I decided to look into his cure. He had an intel card or whatever and my are Radeon, so I basically followed his instructions but replaced Intel with Radeon and x300.

And still nada.

Please.
You chaps are damn smart.

Also, it played fine on XP when I had it on the same machine.

So its OBVIOUSLY W7 or something related to it.

Why don't you degrade back to XP?

Wikipedia says it's open source, maybe get the community to patch it or something.

When you installed videocard drivers... did you install Windows 7 videocard drivers, or did you install Vista videocard drivers?
