Demo doesn't seem to work in Win 8?
I don't know about the demo but people are running the games on Win8. I saw someone is having a problem but looks like it is more an issue with his graphic card/Win8 and CM. Reports are that nVidia people aren't having a problem......other than relicencing....but I guess we already have a thread for that.Demo doesn't seem to work in Win 8?
The guy I saw on the BFC forum that has a problem has an ATI card as well.I installed CMSF on W8 and it errors for OpenGL drivers. I have an ATI HD4200 which I understand is no longer supported. A check for drivers shows none for W8. There are W8 drivers for higher level cards.
Did you get CMFI running? Did you have to use some compatability mode for CM with Win8? I tried all the usual stuff and it just doesn't work. Thing is, I don't know what is causing it. I don't get any info like 'Get Open GL drivers' or such. It just says contact the vendor.I found a page at AMD for legacy drivers for the older cards and W8. Installed that and CMSF is now working fine.
This is a budget Sempron 2.7 single core, 4g DDR2 ram with 3.2 available in Win 32 bit, onboard graphics set to 512mb shared.
That is BFC's non-error message for you not having registered your game with a license.I have a GeForce vid card. I DL'd the latest drivers. I reinstalled the demo but I still get a 'error:Errorcode' message when trying to start the game.
I can still play on the old winXP machine.
It's the demo. How can that be?That is BFC's non-error message for you not having registered your game with a license.
Outrageous in itself that they can't even get the error message right.
Well, obviously displaying the actual error code is broken. So maybe you had a different code but obviously the message stays the same.It's the demo. How can that be?
I see Win8 already has updates etc. I will give it a chance but if more software has issues, I won't be buying this for my other XP or Vista PCs.
Maybe BF needs a QC managerWell, obviously displaying the actual error code is broken. So maybe you had a different code but obviously the message stays the same.
I think that software quality is generally very good at BFC (mortar or MG modeling isn't software quality in this sense). But this crazy DRM thing is certainly an exception.Maybe BF needs a QC manager
Make sure you get all the Win8 updates and then enable Hyper-V and then reboot the system.I;m not having any problems with 8. What should I do to break it?
Or try an ATI card?I;m not having any problems with 8. What should I do to break it?
