Phantasy Star Universe, GameGuard, and Windows 7
By S-T-H at 06/11/2009 - 02:17
Phantasy Star Universe

nProtect GameGuard recently added support for Windows 7.  As a result, Phantasy Star Universe on PC received a number of updates to the program last night.  Users are now reporting that it can be played on Windows 7 RC2 (Build 7201) without the issues seen before.  With this update, both 32-bit and 64-bit versions are supported.

 

Microsoft plans to release the full retail version of Windows 7 on October 22, 2009.

 

More on the GameGuard/Windows 7 support timeline can be found at this official forum thread.

Ah, so that's what GG downloads earlier today. It's good to know why.

Some users were wondering why this is considered news, because it has been working fine since RC1.. Well, that's simple, because only the 64-Bit RC1 was working fine, 32-Bit one crashed with a BSOD the moment Gameguard fully initialized (dump_wmimmc.sys loading). This was what yesterday's update fixed, at least in the build 7201 which i tested. Lets hope that Microsoft doesn't break the compatibility in later builds.

I am using Windows 7 build 7201 and I have just checked now the new gameguard launcher will still not open, so I needed to create a batch file that auto replaces them with the old one I have in the same folder then it updates and I can play the game. I also needed to add DEP exeptions to online.exe, PsuIlluminus.exe, PsuIlluminusOff.exe and GameGuard.des otherwise i would just get a windows error come up and say that I should report the problem to M$
