Scarface does'nt work on Vista at all, we need to wait for a patch and driver updates.

Yes, Scarface will work with Vista. I play it

is this game any good? are the graphics good?
So many games i have seen a while back look like £$%£$% now, eg far cry!

The graphics look a bit crappy as mine is a 7400. It will work flawlessly in other graphics cards

come on you mean nobody knows about this or how i can fix it in another thread people said this game will work.. well please help me. i just got it a week b4 vista and only played it for like 5 days so far.

I'm sorry to tell you but Scareface is not Vista compatible, a patch should fix the problem when it comes out.

Most people will get that, I used to be able to play the game on my laptop while testing it but on my main PC (this one) I get the same as you and everyone else. It's an OpenGL problem, Sierra knows about it and we will either have to wait for a patch for the game or for the GFX Card manufacturers to improve the OpenGL integration in their drivers.

This is what I get when I try to play. It's the same for most Vista players so :
Keep annoying Sierra to update the game and join the thousands of others with Vista problems by visiting their forums here

EDIT: Well, Miraculously, I can now play Scarface, it works fine with the latest ATI Radeon drivers (Feb. 21, 2007 - Catalyst 7.2) on my X1900XT, the games does ask for a certain DX9 file (d3dx9_29.dll) which you can download from here, copy it into your Windows/System folder (NOT System32). I have no clue how Nvidia GFX users will get on but hopefully they will have a better time of it too.

Let us know how you get on

idk y you would look cuz your cool like that lol. but where would i find the update for nvidia you know.

And look down the list for your graphics card, you should actually be doing this at least once a week now. Both Nvidia and Ati have made a decision to try to make a driver release every month.

Your card does not appear on the list of supported cards, see them here. I would suggest you post on the Nvidia forums or contact the Nvidia support here.
