This page is here as a list of games that are compatible with Windows 7.
If a game is unknown for a certain architecture being lightgray for x86 or x64 it is presumed to be cross compatible between x86/x64 as Windows 7 is a major rewrite using Vista's code base which was coded nearly identical on both Platforms.
Feel free to edit this page and update the list as you please.
Try to keep your Drivers and DirectX install up to date as the latest Drivers and DirectX can sometimes fix some older compatibility problems.

Mass Effect | ||||
Max Payne | Game needs to be patched with a sound mod because the game uses a sound format that Vista & 7 can't decode. Visit: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=848215 to download the patch. | |||
Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne | Downloaded from the US Steam Store and it works fine. Game plays best in 4:3 (video stretched when using a widescreen resolution). | |||
Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries | Do not install either the Clan or the Inner Sphere Mech pack as it will cause the game to not run at all. Will display a hardware error message. | |||
Medal of Honour - Airborne | 64Bit - If you have a version of AGEIA PhysX drivers newer than v7.07.09 installed, you will need to uninstall it to allow MOH-A to successfully install (This happens with other versions of windows as well). Latest PhysX drivers can then be reinstalled after the MOH-A install is complete. | |||
Mini Ninjas | ||||
Mirror's Edge | Game will start to slideshow if you don't have PhysX so disable it in the game options. | |||

PCSX2 (PS2 Emulator) | Runs allot better than Vista | |||

Quake 4 | Singleplayer & Multiplayer - Both ok except for PunkBuster enabled servers | |||
Race Driver GRID | ||||
Resident Evil 5 | Win7 HP - 64bit experience stutters every couple of minutes on multiplayer SP is fine. Did not experience the issue on Vita 64bit SP and MP. | |||
rFactor | ||||
Richard Burns Rally | To get working in x64, after a lot of testing installed the game to the root of the hdd with no spaces (eg D:\RBR). Installed patch v1.1, then patch v1.2, then the RSBR2009 mod. To run the game you have to run RichardBurnsRally_SSE.exe directly, or it will sit at a black screen after the intro vids. Editing the ini allows widescreen resolutions, but the FOV hack does not work due to requiring a dx8 dll (just hangs if you manually install the dll). Have not managed to get proper force feedback working with G25 yet. | |||
Sacred 2 - Fallen Angel | Installs & runs fine on build 7100 RC, Tested with patch 2.40 | |||
Saints Row 2 | Has flickering issues with ATI cards. Disable Catalyst A.I. to correct this. | |||

The Hunter | ||||
The Last Remnant | ||||
Thief: The Dark Project | ||||
TOCA Race Driver 3 | Works Fine but a DirectX 9 dll file needs to be copied to the game directory for it to start. Download d3dx9_27.dll from dll-files.com | |||
