Windows 8 and CloD (Merged Threads)

[Martins]

Any news I just updated to Windows 8. Have they resolved anything in the past month?

unfortunately it's not going to happen anytime soon, i made a windows 7 partition just for this game.

Is the problem with C.o.D. , Steam, or both. I read that Vista was a pig of an OS but I never had any problems with it. Up graded from Vista to W7 this year. Has anyone with W8 tried C.o.D. with offline mode? do you still have the same results?

In some fields I hope, that win8 don`t become a second millenium edition, but I would strongly prefer to get away from this vista/win7 thing. Win7 is running okay, but I really love the upcoming topic on hardware accelration of sound again. Since vista we lost this great possibilty because of the crappy xbox sh....t with windows direct sound. Hopefully something like the idea of eax is coming back to enhance sound.

Also some other features are interesting although I hat this app thing or the direction to it. I hope to get a win7 with hardware acceleration and some other useful stuff. Do not need the new app and widget thing.

windows 8 is really good, once you go 8, 7 is too late most people are put off by the "no start menu" but there are already 3rd party apps that will load you straight to the desktop. i use a little program called "start8" you need never cast your eyes upon Metro

the problem lies in c++2010 code not initiating correctly in the launcher of steam, but it wont work offline either hence the win7 partition.

It's a combination between how COD is programmed and how Windows 8 handles C++ 2010, not Steam.

I recently installed windows 8 to test it. Even though i was really pessimistic about metro i might not go back to windows 7. Windows 8 feels really fast also start8 gives nice old start menu. Not being able to run COD can be quite the disadvantage but i got bored of "testing" it even then i had windows 7 on my machine
