Windows 8 and CloD (Merged Threads)

[senseispcc]

It does NOT work.
I did install Windows 8 X64 beta on a pc that did acept and play COD at a not to low graphic level and when I did change my OS to windows 8 x64 Steam had a little problem to install itself and COD does never launch itself.
Maybe with a x32 version maybe I shall try next week if no one trie before me. Sorry for this bad news.

Well, hardly bad news as the first beta for all previous Windows versions have also been very unstable... And this is the first beta. Wait until RC3 before you get worried

Which version do you run by the way? They only call the Server 8 Beta, but the consumer version is still called "Preview" (which is m$ lingo for alpha ).

Anyway, thanks for the heads up that there is a new version out. I'm downloading this version now from MSDN to try out:

Windows 8 Consumer Preview with Apps (x64)

Windows8-ConsumerPreview-64bit-English is my version all the other games (non steam) and application do work. For the little time I used this version of windows 8 and my previous exprience of it from November 2011 I find it a fine OS not easy to master but nice. And it is only a preview. I did post this only to advertise so that other should not try and make the same mistake.

Run it in win7 compatibility mode and elevate its rights / run it as admin.

Wait...is the problem with Steam or with CoD itself ?

Or both ?

I guess you haven't used their alpha builds...

Stuff that worked in earlier builds was broken in this latest release. So don't blame the devs. You should also give Microsoft some slack since the OS isn't nailed down yet.

Unless you are a techie who needs to keep up on OS development (not gaming), I wouldn't recommend installing Windows 8 yet. Even if you are one, I can't recommend installing it on your main machine, unless you have drive trays to swap out.

Other than that you can like the new interface or not, I personally don´t like it very much and I think I will not use metro apps in desktop.

+ 1

Metro will be nice for tablets, for PC users I see no use for it. They will for sure do a "classic" mode where you get the menu button back and Metro becomes an "app" you can choose to start at boot time like Media Centre. They will never get corporate users to ditch W7 otherwise...

My time machine is not working with windows 8 either. I suspect it is something to do with the nano, deregulating gyro for the oscillating time stasis reticulating lever (The big pointy thing with the shiny knob) and that Microsoft has not developed a time machine APP with touch screen interface yet.

But mostly I blame 1c Maddox Dev team for putting all their time and effort into building a new graphics engine for COD and not having enough time to focus on getting my Flight Model correct for flying through those swirly time worm holes using my Windows 8 Tablet that has not been released yet.

Clearly I never get my Windows 8 based time machine to work or I would have already gone back in time and given all the coding to the Dev’s so that we would not have to wait.
Or.
Maybe I did get it to work and I sit at home all day enjoying the beautiful graphics and amazing details of COD on win 8 from the future and don’t pass it on, just to p1ss off those that whine about everything that doesn’t work on things that are still under development.

I want a metro COD, so I can shoot enemy planes taping over them while they pass perfectly lined across my reticle... emmmh... just joking.
