Hey what was the vista laggy fix? Something about changing the shortcut path I just don't remember what the address was to change it to.

no no there was an issuie with it being really laggy... vista and windows 7 I think it was, then the fix was right click the desktop short cut and change the properties. I just don't remember what the change was.

The only two compatibility issues with Vista that were fixed by passing command-line parameters (ie, editing the shortcut properties) are fixed by default now. There is no need to edit your shortcut for any such reason, and any lag you experience is more likely due to an actual issue with your computer (poor specs, adware, etc.) or your connection.

I don't know about that, my brother had to do it about a week or two ago. He has windows 7 I think. Was really laggy and kept crashing, but then changed the shortcut and now it works just fine.

I'm on 7 (and prior, Vista) and haven't had to change anything with the shortcut because its long since been fixed. I'd guess it's most likely unrelated to 7/Vista, and maybe an issue with the video card's drivers (often the cause). CohHelper can create a summary of the information about your system and identify some issues to post on the boards, it should help us track down whatever problem you're having.

I'm not having the problem, my brother had it and he sent in a petition and all that, then my buddy Vinny(vista) had the same problem and used the same fix. Both work perfectly now. Sonn I'm going to have another two of my friends try out the game and I figured I'd ask for the fix just in case if it was an issue it wouldn't cut into their 10 free trial.

You should ask your brother and friend what they did and what exactly the problem was. If they joined a good while back using Vista, then that could be why they had to do something special (back before the compatibility cursor was added and all that).
