From the windows' I've tried, yeah. But there were different specs on different machines, so who knows?

To answer the OP question: Works fine. I've been using windows 7 (in beta and RC form) for months, and I haven't had a problem running FoFiX yet.

And for the record, Windows 7 doesn't suck. I won't say it's brilliant, but it's sure as hell better than Vista. And, dare I say it: better than XP in most respects.

Im using Windows 7, and it laggs as hell with FoFIX.
I dont know why, but its laggin so hardcore.
I just have to wait 5-6 seconds until the game receive my keyboard activitys.

Its not a problem with my hardware, i have Windows XP too installed on another hard drive.
there it runs perfectly with full fps.

Is it only FoFiX that has the laggy input? Or do other programs do the same thing?
Also, is it a wireless keyboard?

Well, the RC was built and tested on Windows 7 - which is (probably) why all those DLL problems went down. But yeah - it works just fine.

No idea what that's about, but it's not the fault of Windows 7. Make sure you have a non-default driver installed for your video card.

Only problem i have is the hardcore lag. So should I install updated video card drivers

---- EDIT ----

YAY lag is gone. Now where is the fofix.ini file. game won't start need to delete it

Also, is it a wireless keyboard?


All games are running perfectly.
Like FEAR 2, or WoW. All games runnning with 30fps - without problems.
But FoFIX and only FoFIX laggs as hell. only 2-3fps each secound.

What i can do?

It is not a wireless keyboard.

You can't do that on any version of Windows with OpenGL/DirectX apps. Just use Fraps.

* (WIP) Dali theme v0.8

* Major contributions to:
Jackzilla1's Guitar Hero III beta Gameplay Mod
(vapor) estemhorn's Real World theme

* plastic guitar fret buttons v1.2 (a variation is used in Death_97's Zelda theme)
* push-button fret buttons v1.0
* vibrating strings fret buttons v1.0 <preview> (strings come from worldrave's Guitar Hero III theme)
* mushroom cloud hitflames v1.2 (includes 3 brightness variations) <preview>
* realistic lightning v1.0

* The Urge - "Jump Right In" v1.29 - all difficulties, w/lyrics (3:43)
* The Mighty Mighty Bosstones - "Someday I Suppose" v1.14 - all difficulties, w/lyrics (3:28)
* (WIP) Fishbone - "Party at Ground Zero" v0.20 - amazing only (so far), w/lyrics (6:31)

I do it all the time and it works fine... I usually use alt+printscrn, to get just the window I'm on, but prntscrn generally works fine for me. No issue. All versions of windows.

Maybe some video drivers support that?
