Quake 4 incompatible with Win7 64 bit?

Hey all, was just wondering if anyone knows if Quake 4 is incompatible with Win7 cause it worked fine on my old system with XP but when I tried to install and play on my new system which has win7 64 bit I cannot get it to work no matter what I do. Is there a fix for this? I know the multiplayer wasnt very good on this, I just want to be able to play the single player campaign again. Thanks for any help:D

Works fine with W7 from my experience

Works fine. W7 64 bit.Nighteg

I hate to suggest the obvious, but first things first... have you updated the game to the latest version?

It does work on W7 64bit.

Have you tried compatibility mode?

It's probably a good thing that it doesn't work. Quack 4 is nasty. It's a SP game first, not MP.JigglyWiggly_

He mainly wants to replay the SP portion.. what error are you getting when you start the game?

To me it was way more fun than Doom 3's SP. Quake 4 is not at all the same as the earlier games in the series which were multiplayer based and arena shooters.

The thing I don't like about Steam is that they do not force the producers to patch the games at all to run on new systems. Another example is Deus Ex, which can have speed problems on anything other than a singlecore, because of the way it was developed. I bet for Quake 4, if you used a proper illegitimate executable it would start ok. Which kind of defeats the purpose of having it on steam to begin with...

well , i finally got it to run on vista 32bit , but ...

all maxed out the graphics look like crap , no shadows, lighting , etc ...

NOTHING like i remembered years ago on windows xp.

how come old gamessumtimes look like crap on newer systems ?
