Windows® 8 Cliffs of Dover Fix (is here).

[TonyD]

Well, it certainly works OK. Performance is slightly better than Win7, but I think that this would only be the case with BullDozer - THG found no difference using a Core i7.

I've only done some limited testing to confirm it was working before sYk0 released it - a couple of BlackDeath runs and a free flight over Dover. Subjectively it seems a little smoother, with less variation in frame rates (similar to my experience with RoF), but this is probably due to the task scheduler doing a better job than my (patched) version of Win7.

The core allocation appears very different to what I've seen in Win7, which I guess is to be expected. The attached screenie is after completing a run in BlackDeath (reduced for ease of viewing)

Just to clarify.
This seems to be a bug from the "software protection" program they used and not a CLOD bug.

Awesome work Sky0 & many thanks . Someone should sticky this forum topic in the technical thread.

You are correct, it is a bug with the ".NET Reactor" (or which ever .NET obfuscator is being used) protection (on "maddox.dll"), that doesn't entirely mean it's not a CLOD bug.

The "software protection" bug affects how the application runs ( under Windows® 8 ), therefore it's a bug within the application (be it indirectly).

Any performance gain with CLOD running in Windows 8?

the guy who found the fix for this should be given a free game. nothing from 1c over issue someones fixed who don't even work for them.

It works! Good job!

I'm sure it took no time for him to figure out a fix yet 1C devs would of never even tried to find a solition.

Maybe sky0 could optimize CLOD since 1C has indeed stopped support.
