Seems that there are far too many sarcastic trolls around here. Oh well.

the fact is, don't expect win 8 functionality until the sequel. You can't make this game compatible with the current version of an unreleased OS because an update to the OS could break the game.

I'd be surprised if that is the case. This is the only game or software I've had any compatibility issue with. BTW, I'm running the Technet RTM version. Not a BETA or eval.
More or less I'm just making some noise to have it looked at. Other titles use the same redistributables without issue. May be as simple as detecting the OS version to determine which to run during setup.

Luthier said that W8 support is not going to be looked at in the near future, but perhaps for the sequel. Currently they have their hands full implementing DirectX9 compatability.

I hate to break it to you, but your noise will not amount to anything. The game barely runs on win 7, and they've already stated this patch will be the last. What on earth makes you think they have the time or resources to look into win 8 support?

Not to mention that win 8 is going to be an atrocious platform for gaming. I'm not sure why you'd even bother. Quite simply it's just not going to get looked at. Maybe for the sequel, but for CLOD? Not a chance.
