I want all the power and features of my PC stripped away and replaced with the useless gimmicks of a tablet.

Why take the start button away? and why replace it with metros.... anything with metro in the name is obliviously a bad thing.

If i wanted a super OS I would go out and buy lion.... or snow lion... or super mountain lion... whatever their up-to now.

Hi,
trying CLoD @win8 Pro x64. It does not work for me at the moment. Seems like Clod would like to install VCRedist, when I try to start it out of Steam Client. But then nothing happens, cause there is a newer Version of VCRedist installed @win8.

Any suggestions bout that?

Tested ROF also -> working.

@Devs: Is there a possibility that you fix this also ? ^^

Greetings Daniel

WTF? Who are you to question the reason people move to a different OS?

Any self respecting developer, not to mention a “software company” would make it a priority to support future Operating Systems.

You don't lose any of the power that you had in previous versions of Windows. The Start Menu has been replaced by the "Modern" interface. They don't call it Metro anymore.

If people think clicking the Start button and scrolling and browsing through the menu is power use they are sadly mistaken. For the last two Windows generations, Microsoft has been trying to get users to use the search feature. Hit the Windows key and type what you want to launch. Need to use the Run feature? Windows key+R.

Windows 8 is a decent OS. It boots faster than 7, and is generally much snappier.

The problem with Cliffs of Dover I have found seems to be an incompatibility between the modules in COD written in .NET 4 and Windows 8's integrated .NET 4.5 implementation. Either 1C needs to release a patch for those modules or Microsoft needs to implement some backwards compatible code in 4.5 that would fix the problem.

What? You do realise CoD won't run on an Apple OS right?

Win8 is actually faster and uses less resources than Win7 and you can configure Win8 to use the traditional UI via control panel. But you already knew that didn't you?

Granted no flight sims were tested but they never are.So I guess the results should be taken with a grain of salt.

Except for any incompatibilities it looks like a push to me.

The problem seems to be a .Net 4.5 incompatibility, for example i've downloaded and installed the Visual Studio 2012 Express for Desktops which also uses 4.5, after installing i lost the Cockpits in Cliffs of Dover .
Normaly it's on Microsoft to fix that problem in their .Net 4.5 implementation.

The thing is that .NET 4.0 and .NET 4.5 do not go side by side, and installation of .NET 4.5 affects .NET 4.0 runtime. It is supposed to allow running both 4.0 and 4.5 targets, and provide fixes for some issues of 4.0. Everything looks fine, except that those fixes are only given with 4.5, which requires Vista or later OS. This potentially introduces different behavior for 4.0 target running on XP (or Vista/Win7 without 4.5 installed) and 4.0 target running on Vista/Win7 with 4.5 installed or on Win8. It is a compatibility mess.

In anyway, I have .NET 4.5 on my system for some time, and CoD works fine for me, so I don't think that .NET 4.5 guilt is proven. I also tried CoD on Win8 today. All prerequisites were met, but CoD simply continued to exit without any messages. Process monitor did not show any abnormal events as if CoD exited on its own will. Maybe it is just something like blunt if (x<y) {die();}.
