Windows 7 ultimate + Conquer client.

[onlyme64]

Is there a way of making Conquer clients compatible with Windows 7 ultimate?

I fail to see how this is related to privat servers

Conquer is compatible with any version of windows 7, just you will BSOD if you don't delete the "zftqat" folder or delete startGame.ini.

I fail to see how your a moderator with your arrogance.
I cant run my private server client without it crashing.
And im sure a solution to this would help alot of Windows 7 users in the private server section.
So how is the conquer client compatability not related to private servers?
I will request a moveback to the private server section and for you to delete your post.
Regards.

And i said in the PM i just sent you, you cant expect me to let it be in the privat server section with out any thing in ur post even related to privat section.

You gota learn to inform better.

Conquer is fully compatible with windows 7, barring the "zftqat/TQAT.exe" delete that and it will run fine.

By the way "private" has an 'e' on the end.
End of discussion.

The dude speaks about the source code not a Conquer Client.

I deleted it, yet the client still crashes when i launch it. And yes, huseby did spell "private" wrong, but who cares?

And no, im talking about the client, nothing to do with a "source code"

[Korvacs]

Tried running in XP compatability mode + as Administrator?

[Kiyono]

CO works fine with windows 7, like they said edit the StarGame.ini or delete the zftqat folder.

@onlyme64

I can see how you may think it is related to private servers however your question does not specify anything about private servers and only the client itself. When it comes to general questions about clients not running in general then it is in Huseby's right to move it to this section.
Full stop, this is not related to private servers in anyway.

Secondly to answer your question:

Windows 7 Guide

There are bugs with Windows 7 as Conquer Online is not supported with it -

°º¤øBlue Screen of Death (Crash and Memory Dump)

- Caused by the antivirus program that comes with conquer online, easiest way to fix this problem is to remove the zftqat folder in your Conquer directory. If you accidently open Conquer.exe with the antivirus enabled quickly hit the X to close it.

°º¤øLow FPS and Frequent Freezing

- Running Conquer in Compatibility mode will drop your FPS to around 1-4, make sure compatibilty mode is turned off.

- Low FPS can also be caused by outdated video drivers so update them using vista drivers.

- Setting Conquer.exe's priority to above normal in the task manager can improve FPS and performance. It can also be set to High but can cause Problems and BSOD on low end systems.

- FPS can also be improved by hiding the taskbar. This option is in the Taskbar properties.

- Disabling Aero can also raise FPS and make the game run more stable. It's easily be done by right-clicking the shortcut to CO2, selecting 'Properties' and going to the 'Compatibility' tab.
Select 'Disable Desktop Composition', then apply the changes.
Now Aero will be disabled when running CO2.

°º¤øDirect X Errors

- You need to update your Video Card drivers from the standard ones that come with Windows 7 to the latest Vista drivers.


°º¤øIn-game Buttons Out of Place

- Right click your desktop and click Personalise then click on Display down in the Bottom Left. Then set the scaling to 'Smaller - 100%' and Apply.


°º¤øPerformance and Stalling Issues on Quad Core PCs

- This can be fixed by going into Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc), clicking on the processes tab, finding Conquer.exe and right clicking on it then clicking Set Affinity and then set it so that only the first two processors are selected. (The person I suggested this to said he got a major increase in performance, though I haven't tested it myself I'm on dual core)

°º¤øThe windows just closes with/without error
-This is most probably caused by outdated codecs first try uninstalling whatever codec pack you have installed and try playing, if you can play without it installed try finding a newer version of it if you are not sure if you have codecs installed try
If it's not caused by codecs post a new thread.

I might have left out some, I will add if I come across any, Or if you have another problem post it and I'll try to help you and fix it.

Nope, none of the above solution for client crash worked.

[DLgamer55]

it worked for me ... don't ask me how xD but the co helpdesk helped me.

I'm playing Qonquer and it required absolutely no editing changing at all . I downloaded the client and ran it with zero problems , it just tells me it's not compatible , but runs fine.
