Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance.

Go to page one and download the cloder program. Disable or uninstall anti virus software. Unzip to a folder open cloder.exe, point it to the il2 cod .exe in the steam folder and it will launch under windows 8.

For all you anti virus junkies!

Definition:
False positives occur when a pattern of code in the file matches the same pattern contained in a virus signature. This can occur due to a faulty signature or it can occur after improper disinfection by the same or different antivirus scanner.

False positives can be more than just annoying. Repeated warnings that are erroneous cause the same effect as the boy who cried wolf. If too many false positives occur, when a legitimate warning is presented, users may disregard it. In other cases, a false positive can cause legitimate files to be deleted, causing the operating system or program to no longer function properly.

If your antivirus scanner says a file is clean that you believe is actually infected, here are six steps to determine if a virus alert is legitimate.

Some users claim that behavior blocking results in too many false positives. In fact, the very nature of behavioral analysis is to prevent any unauthorized modifications to key system areas. In the case of behavior blocking, the prompting for user input is a desireable occurance and should not be categorized as a false positive.

I don't mean to sound like an idiot but, I didn't understand a word you said lol
I unzipped it to my Downloads folder, Opened up Steam>Steam Apps>Common>IL 2 Cliff of Dover and placed the 2 files in there.

If that's what you mean by "point it to the il2 cod .exe in the steam folder" then I've done it.

I turned off my Firewall, Virus Protection and the Spyware Protection. I think I've pretty much done everything it takes to run the game with the new patch, but I must be missing something if it still don't run.

Have you gone here and read the 1st page of this thread?

It is not a patch and does not go into the il2 clod folder.

Download sky's fix called cloder, once the file finishes open it with either zip or rar. Make a folder on your desktop extract the cloder.zip files to your new folder.

Open up the folder you created with the extracted cloder files and double click the cloder exe. It will open a window and want you to navigate to the actual il2 cod .exe file located in steam/steam apps/common/

Once cloder has been told what exe to launch it should launch the game. There is also a read me file that sky included with his fix.

First off, I'd like to thank you for the walk through broken pixel.
Second, I still can't get it to run after doing what you said step by step. I'ts gotta be something I'm missing. I did everything you said and for some odd reason it's not running. it was supposed to be pointed to "steam/steam apps/common/" then the launcher for the game correct?

If so I still can't get the game to go.

Sure thing Bill I will check my puter when I get home and see what we can do to get your IL2 COD running within windows 8. No more 7 for me lol!

Oh! have you tried stardocks start8 program? It makes win8 much more user friendly by adding a start menu and being able to tweak some metro crap.

Nah, I haven't tried it, I'm just getting use to the new Windows 8 and I'm loving it lol. Going from Windows XP and a slow computer to a fast computer and Windows 8, I can't go wrong lol

I'll check back tonight after work, Thanks again for all the help bro, it's greatly appreciated.

I just purchased a new copy of windows 8.1 pro. Installed the OS on a new ssd. I installed my Cliffs of Dover game on Drive E. and ran the steam validation and all checked out ok. Clicked on the shortcut and it looks like the game is going to launch, but then it doesn't. Not sure what to do. I used to run the game on windows 7 pro and had no problems. I can get the game to run with the windows 8 fix, but would really like to not do this if possible. Any sugestions?

Thanks
