Postal was the first game I downloaded from GoG.com and it was very well worth it! I initially installed it on my WinVista Ultimate machine at work and it ran flawlessly.
I figured the true test would be to see if it ran on my Windows 7 Evaluation copy at home. Since GoG.com's forums are a little wierd (ie. only set up for pertaining to games) I couldn't find any info on Windows 7 (GoG.com - anyday you want to say Windows 7 is cool with all our games and/or we will promise to support it via updates/patches or whatever = total WIN!)
Sure enough, I launched the game twice and crashed instantly, then I toggled the settings to run as Admin and to run in Windows Vista compatibility mode. the game launched fine, then crashed again. Re-booted (my wife was using some funky Citrix stuff for work) and the game ran fine.
However, the one wierd glitch I didn't get at work that I got at home was that bullets weren't coming out my gun even though it was firing. This was very wierd.
Is anyone else out there using Windows 7...are there any more tricks to getting this GoG.com games to run perfectly?? I know there are some color setting's in the Properties you can choose, but who knows...
