Windows 8 Problems

[cybersaint2k]

I'm using the newest dev version, tiles, under windows 8. Since upgrading to Windows 8 this morning, the game is almost unplayable.

There is a serious delay in the video, a laggy feeling, whether using mouse or keyboard.

You cannot actually put, let's say, mephitic cloud, on a monster. When you put the target on them, it disappears. You can't tell that it's there except that your reticle disappears.

I'm looking into video compatible issues on my machine (win8 v intel adaptor) as I type this, but I do not expect to find anything.

I'll try running it in different modes.

Thanks for your help and making a great game.

I switched into windowed mode (init file) and now have no problems. But in full screen mode it was unplayable.

It is known that there are problems with Windows 8. Might be good to report this on mantis as a reminder to the devs that these need to be fixed.

I've found fullscreen essentially unplayable in Win 7; windowed eliminates the difficulty. There's something about the fullscreening of recent builds that doesn't mesh with Win 7 or 8.

Are you using default video drivers? If so, update them.

[Grimm]

If that's directed to me: I've updated my drivers. It availed nought. When I switched to windowed the problem disappeared entirely.

[galehar]

No, it was directed at the OP. I know you've upated your drivers Grimm
I still think it's a drivers issue. Poor OpenGL support in fullscreen mode.

Gotcha. Was posting drunk again. Will let you know if I find drivers that work.
