Hmmm! Don't see no Windows 8 on that list do you?

Like I said, I'm sure the devs, you, me, and I guess 99% of the community would like COD to run on Windows 8 - not that I'm in the market for a new OS just yet, but people stamping their feet and shouting I want, I want or I pack my bags and you'll never see my money again does seem a bit purile.

you have to get with the plan,but i am sure luthier and his team will eventually have to roll out a win8 patch for the game because of BOM.

again its not MS's call, its a dev issue with the game code.
your argument is flawed, hell even B17 the mighty eigth works on win8.
il2 forgotten battles works on win8, doom1/2/3 works on win8
microsoft combat flight simulator 1 even works on win 8,
"big call" i dont think so, more like an expected dev priority and if luthiers team cant be arsed then shame on them

Sorry to here you've had a bad experience with COD, I've had a lot smoother run.

If you've read the last page or so of the thread you'll notice some evidence that the problem stems from Microsofts implementation of Visual C++. I'ld hope that a major software company like Microsoft would be particular about things being backwardly compatable, wouldn't you?

Hopefully there's an easy fix for this. For the long term good of the series I hope that it gets sorted really soon.

See you online sometime!

Cheers!

+1 from me as well.

As a Win8-user, I'd love to see CLoD work on it, either through an official fix from either 1C or MicroSoft, or through a community fix. If no such fix is forthcoming, I'll simply bide my time and take a chillpill until BoM is available, and see how things go from there.

Just for clearance: CloD is running @a fresh install of Win8??? (mentioned HERE--> http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showpos...1&postcount=41)

Ive Win8 Pro here too, with only LOL, XCOM and CLoD installed.

LOL and Xcom (Steam) running fine, CloD not...

So what VCRedists are there in your "programs and functions"? (I have multiple)

The UI is a little tricky to use at first but once you get the hang of it, its very intuitive.

It installs fine, but does not run. Look few posts higher.

Flordmonkey,

Here's a link to just one of the sites that I found when doing a search on Windows 8 problems. There are heaps more.

I kinda knew that. I think. I read about it some where. Plus some guy named Puppet said it was so on Teamspeak. And he seems fairly trustworthy.

I wonder if the guy who wrote that article understood from what he "compiled" it? It basically mixes Windows 8 on PC with Windows RT on ARM (phones, tablets and so on), and tries to create fears. Windows RT will allow running only Windows Runtime apps distributed via Microsoft Store (Microsoft intends to do the same what Apple does), but it has nothing to do with PC, and is intended for different hardware and market (in which games like Angry Birds are considered world acclaimed).
