Microsoft Hotfix solves problems with PR/Vista

I found this in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3 ... &x=13&y=10

This seems to be a solution for crashes of PR and some ohter games. You can request the hotfix here:
https://support.microsoft.com/contactus ... &WS=hotfix

I installed the hotfix and now PR runs fine on my Windows Vista System (32 Bit)

EDIT: Direct Download Links:

checking it out. If it works, I'll add the info into our 'Standard Installation Guide' :)

Can someone confirm that this works?

If this does work, and even reduces the crash rate to once every 2 games, instead of once every round it will make the game 14x more enjoyable for me.



edit: i love to see devs involved in the forums, gives me a sense of security

Good, now read your manual, lest they need to come and save you from my WRATH.

The biggest problem I had with Vista was the "there is a problem with your connection" and the "the connection to the server has been lost" every 20 minutes on a server.
