Windows 7

[unmerged(74372)]

I am tempted to buy rome again, but I also bought HoI3 and it didn't work on windows 7, so I'm afraid neither will rome, since it doesn't list it in the system requirements.
Is this true, and if so is there a way around it?

I have Windows 7 and have very few problems with Rome and Vae Victus. Any problems I do have are usually bugs within the game itself, rather than compatability issues. So, to answer you answer in a simple way; yes, Rome works with Windows 7.

Thanks OP & Emperor Leo, just the answer I was too looking for in these forums.

Think I will support this great game further by buying the Gold edition, seeing that the support goes on still!

I don't think Paradox have guaranteed that Rome will work on Windows 7, but like I say, I use Windows 7 and it's fine. I'm using the original boxed copy of Rome from day one of release and a copy of Vae Victus from Gamersgate, patched to 2.31c. If I don't have problems with such an old copy, I can't imagine that a new version of Rome Gold will be an issue!

Just received my Rome Gold, took long enough due to certain volcano erupting, and can confirm that it works fine with Windows 7 64-bit.

That's good news! Be sure to join in the forum chats after you get playing! Out of curiosity, why did you buy Rome Gold when you already had Rome and Vae Victus?

Call me silly but I wanted the whole thing (EU:rome+VV) in a same package. Also Play.com had killer deal (13€) for Rome Gold and wanted to support the game further.

You're a true completist! Haha!
