Take one barely finished, bug riddled game, and add one just released, barely supported OS and what do you get? A reason to stop playing MMORPGs and start drowning yourself in whiskey.

First of all, Vanguard seems to run on the released ATI Vista drivers. Not so for you Nvidia owners. If you have a 6,7 or 8 series card, you're going to want the beta Forceware 100.59 drivers. Otherwise you will be crashing to the desktop. A lot.

Secondly, even though Vanguard is supposed to be an Open AL game, it doesn't seem to work on hardware mode even on an Open AL supported sound card. So, unless you have a SoundBlaster X-Fi card and Creative ALchemy, you're out of luck for surround sound or even decent sound.
