COD & Windows 8
 
I prefer to use Windows 8 rather than 7. Unfortunately I do not bit and this is confirmed on the forum play COD. Play all my games (GRiD, DiRT 2 & 3, F1 2012, and even good old-il2 Sturmovik 1946., But not my favorite COD / But I do not want to use Win 7. I hope these very important computer technician we find a solution in a patch or update? :confused:

I had Windows 8 on my system, the cheap upgrade offer from Microsoft was hard to resist but I'm back on Windows 7 now. In another year with more app support I'm sure it will be a much better prospect for me. Perhaps when there are more Metro integrated apps for everyday used services like Steam, Origin, Teamspeak etc then I might use it more. Right now if you install it you'll spend 95% or more of your time booting into the metro interface then clicking to go to desktop - or pressing the Windows key, whichever additional unwanted extra step to do anything useful in Windows 8 you prefer :) even for Internet browsing I preferred to drop to desktop to use IE 10 rather than the awful Metro version. All non metro supported apps drop you to desktop but with no Start button it feels restricted - just as Microsoft like it. For al their talk of user choice and freedom to customise and do things with Windows 8 you can only work in the tight confines Microsoft allow. By taking away the start menu and not giving you a built in option to boot to desktop they are enforcing the metro interface on the user. If Metro is so good,so fun to use, so intuitive then surely you wouldn't need to force it on the user?

If you're using XP or Vista then I'd suggest upgrading to Windows 8. If you're a Windows 7 user thank your blessings and hug your installation disk :)

I'm dual-booting Win7 with Win8 on a second partition for testing. The one welcome feature that Win8 has over 7 is its support for SMT processors, which results in my cpu working as originally intended. Performance wise, I have seen a bit of an improvement in RoF, where frame rates are a little better and more stable. Task Manager indicates the first 4 cores loaded with the remaining 4 'parked', with enables boost state 'P0' (max. turbo) and results in lower temps due to half of the cpu being inactive.

A number of test sites have compared performance between the two and found no difference worth mentioning, the most recent one I've read was at THG using IvyBridge. An earlier test checking Bulldozer showed an increase over the 'patched' version of Win7, which is similar to my experience.

I intend doing a fresh install of Win8 when my SSD arrives, but will keep Win7 if only to fly CloD. The 'Metro' interface is pointless without a touch screen, and some apps don't work quite the same yet (the latest version of AfterBurner can't display VRAM usage in Win8 ), but it's not too different to 7.

I would suggest that only AMD FX users have any reason to change to Win8, unless of course you have a touch screen :-P

Hopefully win8 in its current appearance would die soon! I just want the zooming routines and especially hardware sound. ;) Other thinfs may be important for casual users and facebook and twitter junkies.

Stublerone 11-20-2012 12:49 PM

Lol, laptop processors shouldn' t be the aim for a clod player. And win8 also will not help to run it more sufficient.

Win8 has nearly no effort for a desktop pc and is unhandy to use, if it comes to the situation, that your actions require more than just normal every day work. I think, that this step away from a windows pc to a tablet, notebook and smartphone like interface should be punished. Noone, who really thinks about it should buy a copy, because they are focussing somewhere else and soon, the pc is also unsupported in this field. This will be a tough future for real ambitioned desktop machines.

So my thought to it: Please die out, win8!!!! Sorry, but these intentions are not welcome in my pc gaming world! ;)

I hated win8 when I tried the preview but I decided to to install the release version and installed Start8. I don't even see metro unless I want too. Windows 8 supports trim on SSDs and has way more back up features than win7. It uses less resources than 7. It has a way better task manager & system tools than 7. I can also overclock my video card higher with 8.

Have you even installed it and given it a test run? Since sky0 made a program to get clod to start under 8 I have completely ditched 7.

There might be a fix for the win 8 issue, not tested by me right now.

For your convenience

I have merged the Win 8 threads and moved to Technical Sub forum.

Also included a link to the fix download in the first post of this thread.

Please post your results in that thread and all other discussions pertaining to Win 8 and the fix tool.

This thread is for general Win 8 discussion.

The fix works for me win8 pro build 9200

Hello,
has anyone been able to get mods to work while using the W8 fix? If yes, how?
Thanks in advance!

NightsEye 03-03-2013 06:50 PM

I could do with help with getting mods to run with the win8 fix too.
Anyone found out how?

bzhyoyo 03-05-2013 01:37 PM

ditto: each time I tried to point the new shortcut to Cloder.exe and adding lines to it, no go. The game still launches but the mods are not applied.

I'm busy with an update of CloDer, this should allow you to run a server as well as mods.
Please PM me if you would like to test this version before it goes public, your help would be greatly appreciated.

I have read that Win 8 make better use of multi core processors and possibly higher frame rate, can anyone using Win 8 comment to that
